The 3rd week drop.

October 19th
Yesterday I felt a little home sick. I find this to be normal for me as the idea of going home to my own room and not living out of a suitcase becomes starts becoming sweeter. I know, however that once I do go home, after a day or so I will be ready for another adventure. So I am going to keep the mindset that as I finish out my journey. My previous experience has shown me that around week 3 of a trip and the initial excitement is over that this stage sets in. It is only temporary though and the end of my trip will rebound. The language barrier has been getting to me a little. Conversations that are social I participate in parts of and I am left out of business oriented conversations. I understand though.. It is up to me to adapt. I find I can only listen so much to people talk words I don't understand. I understands words here and there but I miss whole pieces of sentences and I'm sure many nuances of conversations. I do think that I am getting better at listening and deciphering  actual words instead of gibberish when people speak. Sofia ordered food for me in the hotel and when I went to pick up and pay for the order. It was clear that did not speak Spanish. When the delivery guy left he said "entiendo nada" and I replied "entiendo un poco" feeling slightly insulted. I have been in a hotel the past 3 nights because Sofia's apartment, I was staying in, needed to be rented. The hotel is frustrating because I cannot log onto the WIFI. If there is one thing that really needs to work for foreigners in a different country it is WIFI. I asked the guy at the desk and he told me that it was better to work from the lobby after a fragmented conversation in Spanish. The other thing is that the shower leaks water onto the bathroom floor. I feel like I am complaining like a first world spoiled brat but can you blame me? I just want the basic things to work like my WIFI and my shower. Tomorrow I leave the hotel though so I am not too too worried about it. Sofia and I are going to the Tucuman. We are going to go camping and I am very excited to see the landscape. Tucuman apparently is a little bit bigger of a city then Santiago but I hope to see mountains.
