Home on the south side

So yes, there are a few countries of separation between the US and Colombia. Surprisingly, there are a few things that bring me back to my Amurrican roots. . .

1. Ketchup. . .and it is tastier here! Much more of a fresh tomato flavor. . .even though it is manufactured from a major brand

2. My home stay family has a cat. Although he is not as friendly and beautiful as Greikitti, he always lets me hold him, is a great rat killer, and certainly is not bad looking.

3. An estimated 100 hugs just today from newly acquainted staff members and students. A very warm welcome from those at El Campito.

4. Listening to Good Vibrations on the bus today. . . a funky remix but still Marky Mark.

5. Getting lost. Whether it is at the St. Mathews Mall or south side of Barranquilla. . .some things about me will never change. Note to self: write down address so you don't mix up Carrera and Calle.

6. Conditional tense. . .one of the many commonalities between the Spanish and English language is the intricacy of this grammar lesson. There's like three of them, right?!

7 Countries away there is still a feeling of home!

Spanish 3rd conditional. . . .should have come to class senior year!
