I don't know why I felt an urge to start a blog about living in this country, when I have lived in so many others. It initially was intended as a journal for me to express what happened to me as I went through each day in a country where I am a complete foreigner, on so many levels - only now am I beginning to even understand the language; admittedly I have been on a self imposed exile living in the "campo" or country for a year.
