It's the same story you told me on the skype machine, but your take is a little more positive. Maybe that's just my perception of the story in writing vs. in person. Anyway,I was talking with my friend Drue last night about you and your current experiences... and I had a revelation about you and COMMUNICATION. I mean, it's just that you LOVE to be able to communicate, you always have, and you have been frustrated with anything that limits you since you were a baby and your limitation was being 9 months old! :-) So, now I get it a little better. This current frustration along with the frustrations you sometimes feel with special people in your life--you are just FED by a communication connection. Everywhere!! and with everyone. I love knowing that about you. And if I'm right and communication is like an instinctual need with you, the fact that you have placed yourself in countries where you do not speak the language fluently is astonishing, amazing, impressive, huge. I think you might be presenting yourself with a core life challenge (whether or not you are consciously aware of it) because you care so much about connecting with the whole wide world.<br />I couldn't be more proud.

I wonder about your Spanish. Are you being too hard on yourself? I might see how the language in the barrio might be more challenging then, say, in the Casa, but I also wonder if you are speaking more English in the Casa than you did in your host family's home in Granada? I imagine going back and forth is very hard...and then there is the version in Mexico which maybe different from Spain. But, I am wondering how immersed you are...it's the schoolteacher in me :-) Looking forward to more posts...and some more photos!!!!!Larry Boggesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11652028440293076819noreply@blogger.com
