Living, Learning, and Growing here in San Miguel

What is it about traveling that expands your being? Each and every day here I feel like I am learning, growing, and becoming so much more than I was before. Perhaps it is getting out of the routine of home where daily tasks are done without a moment's thought. When words spill without the deep digging that is necessary when language and communication aren't taken for granted.

I feel very much alive here. Like parts of my brain are being used that for awhile have been idle. I wonder if I triumph in the little things more since the little things take more effort? I wonder if being in a new place makes you stop, look, and listen to all that is around you since the unfamiliar at one time both shocks and exhilarates your system?

All I know is that each day I get out of bed wondering what the day will hold. I'm excited to learn more. I'm exhilarated to be lucky enough to be here and experience a new way of living. La dolce vida. I think I'm living it.
