Readjustment

Things I missed
Seattle tap water
the smell of winter
cheese that isn't queso fresco
salt and vinegar chips
Netflix Instant
my cat
breathing deep and tasting pine trees
sourdough bread
baking cookies
the public library



Things I miss
yuca chips
sun
the ability to travel across the country for less than $10
speaking Spanish
the sunset in Intag
being able to buy a three course meal for $2
the abundance of pirated DVD stores



Things that are just weird
throwing toilet paper in the toilet
the fact that it's dark from 4pm-7am
not being visibly "different"
adjusting my stomach to American bacteria again
riding a bus without hearing Pitbull or traditional Ecuadorian music
