Hey all!
While I was having the time of my life in Guatemala, I wrote blogs in my journal. So Im going to catch up on those blogs soon enough.
BUT I wanted to give y'all a brief overview of what happened and get you excited for the upcoming blogs.
Amazing. That really sums up all of my trip. Its a beautiful country with wonderful people and very inexpensive for American tourists, like me.
The first thing I notice when I step onto States soil is that my brain is slowly turning to mush. I had to constantly think in another language, try to translate and think of words and conversations in Spanish. When I got back my brain didn't have to work so hard and at first I was still thinking in Spanish but it soon slowed down. Now its almost gone already. It really made me want to transition to a spanish speaking country for longer than a few weeks and maybe even take a Spanish course. I learned so much in only those 11 days!
Also, being disconnected is the best feeling ever. I love blogging and keeping in touch with all my friends on FB but it was such a freeing feeling not being on my phone or computer all the time. I almost feel sorry for those who have to have their faces buried in their phones all the time. Imagine everything they're missing on! I journaled a ton, read a bit, enjoyed the sunshine and the beautiful scenery and most importantly, I was now. I wasn't thinking about my next FB status or who i needed to text. I just enjoyed what was happening to me at that moment. It is quite a fantastic feeling that I feel like most of us don't get to feel much anymore.
So, I met some amazing women abroad and did some pretty cool things and you'll find out all about them soon. I promise!
