Que vida la mía

Ever have those moments where you realize how much you enjoy life? Little times throughout the day when you find yourself smiling for no apparent reason and the feeling that you are exactly where you're supposed to be.

Well thats what I've been feeling recently. Sure things aren't easy, I'm not fully adjusted, I miss home and would kill for some American BBQ food right now, but I LOVE my life.

Here are somethings down here in LIMA that make me smile:

Passing a BBQ restaurant everyday going to and from school.

The musical group that performed on my micro the other day.

Listening to Alfredo (my host father) laugh at his own jokes.

Seeing a kid walking down the street with a handful of rats and a rat tail haircut. (I'm pretty sure the rats were fake. But still, how random is that?)

The teatro that I went to with my family on Friday night.

Shopping at the beach.

Being able to prank call the BBQ all the way from PERU.

Picarones.

Dunkin Donuts in LIMA. No joke.

All these things make me terribly happy.
