That feeling of always " feeling at home" is exactly what I mean when I
say life in the US is boring. As you travel from place to place here, every
town is the same, they all begin with a Burger King and end with a Mc
Donalds. Not so in Latin America.
And though you're right that it doesn't feel quite so new and unfamiliar as
it used to, I never feel more alive than I do when I'm down south.I never
tire of the handcrafts, the street food, the music, and the way that the
people just seem to enjoy being alive......................Howard
