Goodbye Tierra Seca...

Six months ago today I was waking up and beginning my first day in Tierra Seca. I walked around the neighborhood a bit, ate a falafel sandwich with my roommate and tried to get my head around the fact that I was now living in the Middle East.

Those six months flew by! I came with some knowledge of Arabic grammar and a some basic vocabulary, but I honestly couldn't speak or converse at all. Now I'm having conversations every day about all sorts of topics and loving it. I still have a ways to go, but it's been a fun journey so far!

I'm about to hop on a plane and start a new adventure. Perhaps one day I'll return, but for now I must say:

مع السلامة, يا تييرا سيكا
