Gab and I left Xalapa today. We’re in Mexico City tonight and tomorrow.

So bizarre saying goodbye to the house and everyone. Those that were left in Xalapa came to CAXA (bus station) to say goodbye. It’s one of those things that doesn’t really sink in, that I won’t see those people for a long time, and never in the same context. It truely is the end of a phase.

At the same time, I am so ready to come home. I was feeling ill with excitement on the bus to DF. I just can’t wait to fly over Sydney and see my beautiful lands.

It’s been such an odd last week. Filled with nostalgia. Walking around the streets that have become so familiar. Doing Mexican things like eating gorditas on the street for breakfast, making salsa, having people busk super Mexican songs on buses, eating with my friends. There are a lot of things I’ll miss about Mexico. I’ve got my little Mexican part now, but its good to be going home. I miss my people and my land and my culture…and I could go on.
