Ok folks, it's time for Jess to get real!
After nearly 2 weeks in San Juan, I am utterly exhausted. Every small task, like going to the market, completely zaps your energy. The sun is extremely hot, but on the bright side, there's always a wonderful breeze. However, if you are indoors without a fan RIGHT on you, the hot air is suffocating. The over-crowded, hot bus rides are extremely annoying
Ok, now that I've vented, I really do like it here, but it's really hard to get used to being hot, tired & gross all the time...& the locals call this WINTER !?!
Fortunately, the cheap local food is really good. A brother from Spanish has a stall in the market & said his job is to make sure his English brothers don't get cheated. He's so sweet. Also, great foreign owned restaurants if we need a fix...can find good happy hour appetizers for about $2 to meals from $7 to $15 (lobster for $12 :-). We had a wonderful lunch at home yesterday...All-American ham & cheese sandwich w/sour cream & onion chips (block of cheddar cost $6 though :-/
The friends are great here (game night once a week)...we now have 3 irish brothers helping our English group...love their accents, but not their hipster mustaches LOL
Time to get ready for the meeting. Luv & miss you
Hang in there Jessica! Once you are acclimated to the climate it will get better. Jehovah will bless your efforts!
