The guy next to me on the plane from Paris can drop into deep sleep at the drop of a hat, snoring like your father-in-law. I’ll be lucky to sleep normally three days after, wallowing in the mists of jet-lag. When I finally ‘get normal,’ I’ll be ready to travel again. I've still got one country in Europe left to visit, lovely little Luxembourg, but I'll pick that up another day. I need an excuse to go back.

... I have learned so much in the 2 1/2 weeks that I have spent here in Veracruz. I hope that these lessons stay with me for the rest of my travels and the rest of my life.

Yesterday we arrived at our host drop-off facility at 7:30 a.m. as it was our second community impact day and we were supposed to be heading to Xalapa (the capital city of Veracruz...I've been there a few times since my arrival for promotions reasons) to plant trees in a jungle. However, we were informed that ...

... there! I'll post fun memories, pictures, and shout-outs to some great people on campus :)

Now, does anyone want to volunteer to buy me a plane ticket to Moorhead for the weekend? Just so I can walk in the bookstore and pretend to buy textbooks or go back to DS (Dining Services) for some chicken-o's? 

You will?

Thanks :)

Have a wonderful night and enjoy your Thursday, friends :)

Cheers,
Megan

... e zupełnie zapomniała, że ktoś miał do niej dziś przyjechać, i że nie dostała żadnej wiadomości. Przynajmniej byłam już u kresu dzisiejszej podróży i miałam dość stresu na ten dzień. Obudziłam się o 9 rano, bo było mi za gorąco. Wieczór wcześniej Kim zaoferowała mi mini przewodnik po San Diego, bo wcześniej nie miałam czasu nawet poszuka ...

... for Veracruz, and although he was out on injury, he managed to hang out and buy us breakfast. Aside from our brief brush with fame, Tony and I had a great time exploring the port of Veracruz and chilling with the Alarcon family; muy buena gente (dems good people). We spent most of the time seeing the land that Cortez built and trying every classic Mexican dish. Chilaquides, enchiladas, tortas, horchata, tacos al pastor, flan...and quite a lot of cheese quesadillas for me, for I have ...

... sort of bedbugs. These critters didn't go for me (normally they do) but Michelle was on the receiving end of about a hundred itchy bites. The large supply of Tiger Balm we had stocked up on in Asia soon diminished over the following days. To protect Michelle, we put up our new tent and placed it on the bed. God only knows what the cleaning staff thought of us, weirdo Europeans that we are.


We spent a dull three days in an overcast San Diego trying to get our yellow fever ...
