Another one gone

It's a sad day... I just found out a couple of hours ago that my aunt passed away. She's been sick for a while so it's not a complete shock, but it's a loss. And again, I am here in NY and can't go and be with my family back home. I'm so sorry I can't be there for them and with them...

I will miss her.

Family visit

So my dad, my brother and my niece just spent a week here with us. It went by fast, especially since I don't have too much free time, but we had so much fun!! My niece is now 6 and she is amazing... I wish they didn't live so far away, I feel like I'm missing out in so much.

It's November already

How time flies... We came back to New York in May, and so many things have happened since then. The most exciting thing of all is that I finally went back home. After 11 years I went home and spent two weeks in Colombia. It was great seeing my family after such a long time, and it was great just being there. It's an entirely different world, some things better, some not.

I got to eat some great foods, many of which I hadn't eaten in 27 years.... can you even beging to understand what it feels like to experience something that has only lived in your memory for more than half your life? I also got to travel a bit, and see how beautiful my home is. Landscapes that lived in my memory came to life again, and overwhelmed me. I took so many pictures, I don't get tired of looking at them and I want to share them with everyone and anyone who will give me half a chance.

Now I can't wait to plan my next trip, which God willing will be next year. That's right, I want to go back soon, real soon; I miss my family and I miss my home. They say you can't go home again, and it's true. But you can't blame me for trying.

We're back in NYC

Well, we arrived last Tuesday and we're staying at my friend Emile's for a little while. Needless to say, I miss the warmth and bright sun of Puerto Rico, especially since it's been cold and raining here. I was out with my friend last night and it was a rainy 46 degrees at 1am. All I kept thinking was back in PR I'd be in my shorts listening to the ocean from my balcony.

It's going to take me a while to get used to this place again.

Good Bye Puerto Rico

This is our last night in Puerto Rico and I'm very sad. I'm sad to leave this beautiful island, our fabulous apartment, friends and "my beach".

I'm dreading the humid New York summers and icy cold winers. I'm dreading the subways, the filth and the rush and stress of the big city. I'm not looking forward to the "New York minute". But that's where work is, for me and for Joseph; he's only going to do one more trip on the cruises and then he'll be home full time again.

The time has come... I want to get out of the city in the next couple of years. I probably won't come back to Puerto Rico, but well definitelly look for a more peaceful, calmer place to live.

Good Bye Puerto Rico... Its not San Francisco, but I'm leaving a piece of me (of my my heart) here.
