The caribbean coast is HOT and muggy. Would not want to live around here.
Our journey is coming to an end. Tomorrow we return to San Jose and the following day, we fly home. I think most of us are ready. 9 days can be a long time to be away from home.
Home....what a concept. Until I moved into my own house, I seldom really knew the feeling of being at "home." As a youth, my "family" wandered endlessly.... It was not uncommon to attend two or three different schools in my early years, during the same school year. I've been where I am now since 1992 and while the neighborhood I am in is not the friendliest towards me, the place is still home to me.
They say that the two most valuable things parents can give their children are roots and wings. Growing up, I had neither. I seldom knew where I belonged and my "mother" made it her business to try and control every choice I made. Breaking away from that was unfortunate, but needed.
And so, here I am. Gotta stop looking back and look ahead.
