Back in the US of A

It was very sad to leave Guatemala. Danny and I arrived at El Infinito yesterday afternoon and spent the evening eating delicious vegetarian food, jamming on the guitar, and watching The Big Bang Theory with Spanish subtitles. We left this morning from the city and arrived in Houston just about the time both of our flights were departing.

Danny luckily caught another flight at 9, I however am stuck in Houston, Texas. I still can't believe there were no other flights to O'Hare after 7:15pm. Ridiculous. So I had to shell out $70 for a hotel room in Houston. The cheapest one, they told me. I slept on an air mattress for free last night, the nights before I was in a mosquito infested dormitory for 35 quetzales, which is about $4-5. But I was fine with it. US prices make me sad.

So here I am, finally alone and in the USA and reflecting on this crazy month. I got to ride back from Guatemala to Houston with a missionary named Tony. He was from Wisconsin. We chatted about life and his work in an orphanage in Guatemala and my plans to live life and be faithful to God in the process. Things are just unpredictable right now. Who knows where I will be in a few months.

I very much miss my new friends in Guatemala and I miss Danny now too! I miss my casi-novio the most. Life will move on, but the heart will lag behind. I can't believe this month is over... can not.
