I figured I should reflect on some of the things I love and will miss about this country before I list off the thousand things I'm looking forward to going home to.
10. The Temperature: Aside from the constant rain (which I will not miss), it's almost always the perfect temperature here. Nice and warm (rarely too hot) during the day and delightfully cool at night.
9. In-Unit Laundry: I love having "free" laundry in my apartment. I'm not especially looking forward to having to pay for it again!
8. The Countryside: It's nice living just a few hours (drive/bus ride) away from some of the most beautiful beaches/cloud forests in the world. Though I didn't get to travel as much as I'd like (meaning, everyday of my life), I've seen some amazing things here.
7. Dish Soap: The little things. Dish soap comes in a tub and lasts forever. Good thing I bought two kilos of it to bring home with me.
6. La Feria: Being able to go to a farmer's market any week out of the year and get awesome fruits/veggies for cheap is pretty great.
5. Coffee. It's just so so so so so so good here.
4. Cheap Rent: I have an awesome/huuuge apartment here and pay a fraction of what I will pay for something similar in the US.
3. Fruit & Juice: Pineapple, mangoes, bananas, avocados, guanabana, cas... and all the other random ones that I can't remember the names of. It's so cheap and tastes SO much better here where it's locally grown.
2. My Roommate: Living with Saray has been absolutely wonderful. She is seriously one of the easiest/most wonderful people to live with in the world.
1. My Friends (clearly): I know some great people. They are friendly, kind, generous, and some are damn good cooks. Thank goodness for Skype, right? :)
