Home Sweet Home

I spent my last day in D.F. shopping with Emnet, Drew, and Jenny and doing a little grading. It was a good day overall, though somewhat sad at the thought of not returning to Mexico for a while. Doctora took us all out to a fabulous dinner at a Brazilian steakhouse later that night. We left feeling very stuffed, but happy. :) After dinner I went to Emnet's apartment to hang out with Alexi and Roxanne and say our goodbyes. I can't believe I won't see them for another 8 weeks! :( 


 I got into ATL today around noon. I was exhausted because I woke up at 5am and only got about 3 hours of sleep. Carrying my set of talavera plates through the airport wasn't super fun, but I was relieved to get them home still in one piece. :) Although I'm already missing my LBAT friends, I'm glad to be home, see a few old friends, and relax for a few days before leaving again. This is definitely a busy summer!
