I've decided to take the opportunity of the flooding and school opening delay to go home and visit friends and family. My mom and grandma were very generous to help me out with the plane ticket. I had forgotten how much of a process it is to come back home. I honestly think that going into the US is more difficult than going out. I landed at LAX and their facility is just not equipped to handle that many people. I had to wait in 3 lines just to get through the passport control, then wait in another long line to go through customs. It was really terrible and took the entire 2 hour layover.
It's been good to be back for a while. I've been able to visit my family and my friends. I've actually had a really busy week trying to get with everyone. It's so cold here I've forgotten what it's like. It's also been good to visit some of my favorite places like Dion's pizza, Target, etc. I also got to see my church family which was really awesome.
This week I'm going to try to make it up to Santa Fe. I love taking the train up there and walking around the plaza. It's such a neat little town - I think it really captures the feel of New Mexico just in that one little place.
My flight takes off next Sunday. I really hope they don't delay the schools any further because I'm ready to go back. I miss Thailand a lot and can't wait to get back to my students. But until then, I'll just have to enjoy the cold and dry NM.
