An actual post.

I have been uploading so many pictures that I am running out of space on my account! Haha. Well I might have ways to get past that so it shouldn't be a problem.
Thank you all for your comments and following it is really encouraging.

Here is a compact update on what I am thinking about:
Wow I really wish I had studied my Spanish a lot more. It is totally killing me that I can't think of how to say some simple words. I understand a lot, usually I can get the gist of a conversation but I miss the details that makes that sort of thing interesting. I am improving but it is slow.

I have been struggling with some emotional nonsense and I think I have finally gotten over it in a really good way. The other American guys have been a huge help and an encouragement. I am going to miss them after they leave.

I still have a long way to go and a lot more work. I fear that I will have a hard time after the other Americans leave. They are sort'a the only people who are having the same experiences I am with the culture and language, they are also the only people I can have a full and meaningful English conversation with at anytime without having to translate or think through every other word.

It's been a great time of growth for me already. I learn a lot every year but to have experienced everything I have in only a few days is pretty unexpected.

Seeing as I keep coming back every year I am starting to think it might be better for me (and my Spanish skills) to just stay here for a year or two...or five. But we will see.

Now PICTURES!
