It's almost time! After two full days of informational meetings and groaning to one another about how annoying this "in-between stage" is getting, we're finally about ready to leave. It is so strange to think that next time I write in this I will be in a different country. No, a different CONTINENT. Coming from someone whose international experience amounts to a day trip to Canada last Spring Break, I don't think my mind has fully wrapped itself around that fact.
Today, four from our Latin America group ceremoniously walked down Judge Ely to Alfredo's and ate our last Mexican food meal of the semester. Yes, that's right, Uruguay does not have Mexican food. That is just one of the many tidbits of information that has been particularly surprising to many people. I'm sure many more of those will come out in this blog as I write and learn more about the small country.
In just fifteen hours, both the Latin America and Oxford students will begin loading our two charter buses and start heading to the DFW airport. Again, so weird that this is my last night here. But it's gonna be great. I'm crazy excited about Uruguay and getting to know our group better. I'll try to keep you guys updated as much as possible, but we'll see how the internet connection is down there and how busy they keep us. :)
Goodbye for now, North America!
