Day 35: Back to Tio Orlandos Place

Today I am leaving Orocovis and heading back to my Uncle Orlandos place in Bayamon. It is bittersweet. I am happy to be back with my uncle but a little sad to leave one behind. I have been in Puerto Rico for 35 days now. It feels so much longer.

I bought my return ticket to school last night for August 28. Another bittersweet moment. I love Puerto Rico but I feel like I need to be busier and productive.

As much as I love sitting around the house here in Orocovis, drinking cafe (coffee), eating pan (bread) and watching hours of TV I need something new and exciting. Im going to miss the mountains and Tio Ramons dog Brownie but mostly I will miss the company. My Uncle Ramon and Aunt Lucy have made me feel incredibly welcome and I will miss Ramons craziness.

Im not sure what I will do in Bayamon but Im guessing it will be alot of going to the beach and maybe San Juan. :) After my last beach trip I am planning to wear LOTS of sunscreen. I dont know how much darker I can get but I have faith my skin will surprise me but turning darker.

Anyway Im not sure how often I will be able to update but I will try my hardest to find internet.

I am looking forward to my last few weeks here. Ive been wanting to try this program called . Basically you stay in random peoples homes and crash on their couches or beds (if your lucky). I think this would be another great way to explore the island and experience different parts of PR. As much as I love living with family I feel like I am starting to become a burden. They have to entertain me, feed me and give me a place to sleep. Im thinking of asking my uncle if I can do this for a week.

I dont think it will go over well. I know they are concerned about my inability to speak fluent Spanish and about my safety overall.

Oh well. Till next time kids.
