Soooo all our citas fell through today...I honestly don't
want to have you read all my complaints from this week, as that's not the
purpose of this journal, but today was a bit of a hard day. And it also rained
as we were walking around, so that was fun to share my umbrella with Hna Rosas,
but I had my handy-dandy sandals on (thanks again, Dad!), so I was happy.
We walked all over creation, and no one was home or they were all busy with visitors, as it usually is on Sundays, so we felt kinda useless today. And our dinner appointment got canceled, so that was awesome as well.
Anyways, enough sad stuff, I got some interesting news for
ya! Apparently you can have a raccoon as a pet, as we saw it going on a walk
with the owner this afternoon...I have honestly forgotten that raccoons
existed, as I haven't seen one in forever it feels like. So that really surprised
me, Hna Rosas doesn't know what it's called in Spanish, so I'm guessing she
hasn't seen very many in her lifetime, she was very, very surprised to see a
raccoon.
Today also felt like an autumn day, which was bizarre,
reminded me a lot of home all throughout the afternoon. It was the angle of the
sun and the way the air felt and smelled, kinda cool and clean, and the sun was
still really warm on you when you're in the light, but the shadows are cool...it
seriously felt like an early Texas
autumn.Totally weird.

Also, it's interesting to move areas and find people with
the same names as those in your previous areas, you have to learn to assign
them to the same name, even though they're totally different people. Naturally,
that's how the world works, but it's still tricky sometimes because you
associate so strongly with the name that person, and then to have to tell
yourself that someone else is that name as well is interesting because that
name is so much that person. All part of adjusting, you know.
Aaaaand tomorrow's Pday again! Whoohoo! Apparently our zone
is going to some kind of wildlife park called "Joya Grande," so I'll
see how that all turns out tomorrow. Goodnight!
