In midst of all dizzy traveling in the States-9 cities in 3 weeks, I had moments to reflect. Found stars shaped like the country of Chile perfectly. Yes, waves of nostalgia, like waves from the Mediterranean turning into waves off the Pacific. In essence, I left a part of me there, as I try to begin anew here. In the States, basically, everything is bigger.
Cars are bigger.
License plates are fatter. Everything here is so accessibly easy in terms of food, technology, transportation, and information. I had forgotten the overwhelming amount of fast food establishments, restaurants, cafes, bars, and coffeehouses. Eating out is incredibly expensive in Israel, though of course food is consumed in great quantities there too. But, it is how it's being consumed that counts.
