I know the song is about heaven, but that´s kind of how I feel right now. I like it here. I do. I wish I could get out of the city more, but I don´t hate it. But it´s not home. By home, I don´t mean Greenville. Or Rock Hill. Or South Carolina. I´m not talking about a place as much as I am a community. The girls here are like my sisters, and like their brother, I care about them. But they can´t replace Manchester or Edwards Road or my group of friends or my family.
I joke here about missing Mountain Dew and a nice shower (and I do miss those things) but really, the thing I miss most is the community.
Anywho, I bought some books the other day. Three to be exact. A Spanish thesaurus, a Spanish dictionary (not Spanish-English, just Spanish) and a novel in Spanish. El Zorro- Comienza la leyenda. I had decided to read a page and write down the words I don´t know. Translate the words then reread the page. I think, instead, I want to push through it and see how much I understand. If I just can´t follow the story, I´ll go back to doing it the other way.
Today, I decided to walk to the internet cafe instead of taking the bus. It took about 30 minutes but it was good to walk and I didn´t have anywhere to be so I could take my time. When I got there, I used Skype and updated my blog, posted pictures, and did other such internet things.
Then, I took a bus into the city to look for more cows. I spent the afternoon wandering around downtown looking for and taking pictures of the Cow Parade. The souvenir place was open so I grabbed a map. They have miniature cow statues. They´re white so you can do your own art on them. They have rubber Cow Parade bracelets! And T-shirts! Craziness! Loconess!
I´ve decided that I won´t upload anymore cow pictures on here, except for two, because they are my two favorite. But I´ll do that later.
