This past weekend I had a friend decide to
visit at the last minute. While I love
having visitors, you have to realize I am in a new country where I don’t
know…anything. I’m pretty immobile
without a car, I can’t really speak the language yet, I don’t really know
anyone outside of work and I’m not that clear where things are if you were to
ask me about shopping or restaurants or, well…anything. So showing a visitor around is a bit
tough. But, luckily, we made it work and
figured things out together. Walking
along the beach, sipping coffee at a small little café (that we got lost trying
to walk to), finding a very helpful person willing to do some sign language ordering (and
using google translate to supplement), having drinks with extended family, and
then taking a beautiful boat ride with some newly acquired friends to the most
amazing little beach (although both of us got a bit sick it was still worth it). All
in all it was a great weekend and I always feel lucky in times like this when
I’m struggling to find my way. It’s like
the universe knows that I need a little support. Or maybe that’s just my friends who
know. So, thank you.
I’ve put up a few pictures over there
to the right so take a look!
