I want my half of the armrest... please stop jabbing your elbow into my side while you sleep.... rain.... mist.... green... rest stops ... bus robberies.... broken windshield wipers....
To Panama... to Guacimo... to San Jose....
I think I spent around 30 hours in the bus this month. While I really love traveling - the movement and the views from the windows make me feel safe... like things are taken care of and all I have to do is sit there - I think I am done with the bus for a little while.
The most recent week of October was spent surviving some sort of intestinal flu, which is why I haven't written in so long. Being sick so far away from home is really really hard. Especially when you spend almost an entire week feeling very alone, no local support network coming to visit or even calling to say hi.
I feel more alone now than I have maybe the whole time I've been here. Right now, I'm at the phase where I could go home in December and not come back. I don't think that is really what I want, though, and hope the feeling will pass as I get healthy again.
That is a lot of bus riding.
ReplyDeleteI could see how you're needing a rest from that for awhile.
Glad you're feelig better.
Sounds like you had a rough past week?
