I really get home sick when I see something that reminds me of the little things that are no longer surrounding me. I don’t see nopales or tumble weeds around here; this little cactus is the closest thing to see home greenery. Not that I am complaining, i am merely pointing out my nostalgia. But is it not that bad of a trade, walking down the street and being able to reach up and pull a mango off a tree, or an avocado, or even a star fruit.  I do miss all you northerners, too. =) Today’s picture is the Brazilian cousin of the cacti we have back home.

So I have been procrastinating going home, because it is about a mile and a half away, but today have to go home. I have not gone home I like almost 3 days. I have to go do some chores and just be by myself, as much fun as it is to socialize it is equally necessary to be alone. On my way home today I was passing by the bus station and saw this massive tree with a beautiful contrast of yellow and green. I love the greenery around here, the fruits as well today I had a huge mango, it was so delicious but I felt like a little kid eating it because I got all messy, but seriously, who does not get messy eating mangos.
