I have had enough.

I swear that James Blunt is the only musician that has made it over here from the western hemisphere. At least that is how it seems, considering the amount of times I have heard his song blarring. I guess some things you just can’t escape.

I felt that I should post another blog to follow up the last. My intention was to write something more uplifting, but I just couldn’t help mentioning Blunt. Its almost erie how often I hear it.

Besides feeling lonely in my religious convictions, I am doing great. This morning was typical: I got up at 6, jogged through the busy traffic for a little until I found a more open area where I continued on until I couldn't stand heaving in the dust and stench anymore. I thought I was going to throw up this morning because the mix of heavy breathing and thick air was almost to much to bear. After that I came home and stretched, had a bucket shower, ate a breakfast that was prepared by my host family, and sat on my porch sipping fake coffee made from powder and cream substitute. Its disgusting really, but its close enough to the real thing that it is strangely satisfying. After thinking abut how blessed I am for a little while, Maria and Kiki showed up and we rode our bicycles to school together.

Life is beautiful. Always a challenge but when taken with stride it is extremely satisfying. I love you all.
