Welcome to Mexico
This will be short. I think. It's the afternoon of the first full day here. I have already thought quite a few times "what in the hell am I doing here?" But that feeling was relieved a little by going for a walk around town in serach of a Cajera (ATM) and a papeleria (place to copy my passport). I also found a watch at the market. I've read a bunch, taken a nap and done some pilates. I'm trying to be patient with myself but I miss being around lots of people. I think people my age are also not really around--they are at University or who knows. I just keep reminding myself that this whole networking thing is going to take a little time and that, as my dear father included in his email, things down here have a way of working themselves out in a very interesting way. People don't really work to make things happen, they just do. So I'm working on adopting the Mexican attitude of relaxation :-). It should be good for me.

Hey you,
I definitely found myself feeling that way during my first few days here in India. Even last night I wrote 11 pages in my journal since I can't exactly pick up the phone and talk to friends. Things are getting easier as I'm meeting people as I'm sure they are for you.
Take care,
Alison
