- I'm freezing here. A sweatshirt in low 80s is tolerable--if it's sunny. But basically I'm just cold. I think in part because it's somewhere between 60 and 85, which at it's highest is about the same or towards the cool end of what I'm used to. And 60 is just cold. But I think I'm adjusting...to having constant goosebumps at least.
- Church is short. It's also pretty tame. The short isn't all bad, but I miss dancing. I also miss everyone praying out loud.
- Food here is really good. Especially salad. Which seems to be my favorite new food.
- All that French I learned is not very useful here. And no one understands what I'm talking about when I throw out random phrases here and there.
- Driving here is amazing. It's so smooth. It's so fast. It's so orderly. Just amazing. Now I just have to remember to start buckling up again...
- Stores are mind boggling. So much stuff everywhere.
- I feel like the richest person ever.
- It all feels a lot more normal than I think it maybe should.

i totally understand that whole list... probably more from my time in togo than gabon, but still. especially about salad... isn't that weird. it's all i wanted to eat for like a week. that's one way to keep the gabon weight loss off! :) i'm kind of sad about your mexico thing not working, but i'm sure you'll find something superb here in the states. and let us know next time you're going to be in fort wayne!!!
I am at the same place you are. The U.S. has been COMPLETE shock both culturally and spiritually.
