Culture Shock

After seven months in Argentina, Gavin and I returned back to the United States last week Monday. We said goodbye to the city that welcomed us and took us in and returned to our mother country. Well ... we did fly back to Washington DC, and Gavin and I proudly say that we are from Hawaii (which some would go further in saying is a completely different from Washington DC and most of the east coast.)

We spent two days in Washington DC with our friend Valy and Pink. Unfortunately, I got a small cold somewhere in transit and Gavin was suffering from a bad case of spring time allergies, so we didn't get to enjoy our nation's capital as much as we hoped we would.

On Wednesday I flew to Dallas, while Gav stayed in Washington. I had plans to visit a few friends in Texas, while he was going to do something similar in the DC area, before driving down to Norfolk to visit his dad and grandma.

Well ... I don't really know what to say right now. I know thatI am going through culture shock, so I am not going to get too emtional, but it is very difficult for me to be in this part of the US right now. I am so happy to be around my close friends, but after spending 7 months in Buenos Aires, I am having hard time adjusting to the American lifestyle in DC and Texas.

In a week or two, I will come back to the subject, but right now, I am busy feeling things out and trying to figure out what I want to do.

Pics and more stories from Argentina to come soon.
