Coming to America.

After a fabulous vacation in the Bahamas I finally made it back to the United States after being away for over 30 months. As you may remember I had so many mixed emotions about coming home, excitement, anxiety, sadness about leaving Paraguay and so many more. Now that I'm back all those feelings are still here, I'm excited I have gotten to see my friends and family, but, I'm anxious about the future and still sad about being away my boyfriend and Paraguay.

All I can say is that America is over whelming. There are so many people everywhere and being in large crowds of people sometimes make me a little anxious, which is a feeling I have never experienced before. I'm getting used to things that I never had before Paraguay, like using my iPhone and all the fancy apps that come a long with it. I used Uber for the first time this weekend!

I also went to the grocery store for the first time today and boy was that an overwhelming experience. Just the sheer amount of options for every thing was insane, the number wheat thin flavors, kinds of cheese and types of chex mix blew me away. It took me at least 20 minutes to decide what kind of cereal I wanted to buy. It was also strange seeing the high prices for things that I used to get for free, like avocados, mangoes, oranges and so many more fruits and veggies.

I'm slowly falling back into some old habits that I had before. I was a little nervous to start driving again as I had only driven a car 2 times in the past two and half years but, once I started it was just like riding a bike, or I guess driving a car. It is nice to have my car and being able to go anywhere and do anything at the drop of a hat. In Paraguay if I needed to go somewhere I usually had to plan ahead (and walk long distances in the sweltering sun) to get anywhere.

Now, that I'm finally getting settled in, I'm going to start blogging on a regular basis again, and don't worry I'll let you know all about my trip to the Bahamas and my first weekend back in the US.
