Cosas que me sorprenden

Things that have surprized me:

-the ants that crawl on everything in seconds, and bite every spot on your feet that you never wanted anything to touch

-how quickly the rain will come in the afternoons and how the sun can shine at the same time

-how much access I have to the internet (nearly everyday)

-that I´m not sick of rice and beans and tortillas, just add a bit of hot sauce, though really salty here it helps me breathe a lot clearer (haha) and enjoy the spices in my food

-how easily memories of different friends and family come back to me

-how quickly the sun sets here, at about 6:00pm, its so dark cuz there are not many street lights

-that I started taking classical guitar lessons with my co-worker yesterday

-that I have a huge hunger for knowledge right now and am reading about 5 different books at the same time, including Harry Potter and the piedra filosofal (the first Harry Potter book in Spanish)

-that I haven´t lost the wonder in the trees, flowers, and different fruits that grow in this area, the colors are just magnicicent

-that I don´t miss chocolate (that much) but I did have some chocolate cake yesterday and it was pretty much a big deal

-the amount of resources we have at Montana de Luz rocks and yet the kids are really creative without these things and willing to give of their hearts and their lives each day
