So it has been exactly one week since we first arrived, after a bit of a rough weekend, and not the good kind of rough. The arriving stage of everything being shiny and pretty has passed, and the reality has sunk in. Perhaps a little too far.. I think it might need to rebound up a tad to get back to normal.
Things I miss:
Subway
Belgian sandwiches/subs
Cafés
PEOPLE (ie, friends, family, larger numbers of people, strangers, etc.)
Chocolate soy milk
Close and frequent markets
People
Bars and nightlife
Dancing
and have I mentioned people?
More specifically, the reality of being stuck in a house isolated in the mountains, with the same 3 people that you live, work, and play with, is getting to me. Especially when I have always had a wide variety of friends that I hang out with. I've lived with 3-6 people before, but I have always always had my separate friends. However, I have met a few other people here that seem pretty great.. so we'll see. One way or another, this experience here in the mountains is sure to be an 'experience'.
