Impresiones de Yanquilandia

Since I´ve been home I´ve achieved all of the goals I had for myself:
-Sleep a lot
-Eat a lot
-Visit at least the majority of the family
-Record some music
-Read more books, study more German
-Visit some friendles

Cheque leque. Panqueque.

While in the US, I´ve been able to eat a lot of Indian and Italian food, drink tap water, draw smiley faces on people´s dirty cars, shovel snow, flush toilet paper in the toilet, and do other such North American things. It´s really weird to be bundled up and looking out at the snow and then talk to my Honduran friends who are still schvitzing like crazy down there. Having had 3 winters in a row last time I went to South America, I must say that experiencing 3 summers in a row is particularly choice. I´m pretty tan.

I had a pretty cool welcome back party with my family, family friends, and some high school friends and it was way awesome. I made empanadas for everyone. About recording music: I later got to record a little demo at a makeshift studio down the road from my parents´house. Also, I love the book Unbearable Lightness of Being. I got to hang out with the other Fulbrighter I know and tell her of some of my crazy Central American adventures and compare notes on Argentina. Tonight I went out and saw some live jazz music in Georgetown, in Our Nation´s Capital.

About 36 hours to go until I board a plane to Buenos Aires. Tomorrow I´ll hang out with Ale and hopefully have a Greg Teich sighting in DC. Go go gadget adventure!
