The Things I Miss (and don´t miss) Month 1

I know it´s a little early, but as it´s been a month (which is really 3 months in Peace Corps Training-time), I thought I´d share what I miss so far. Some are pretty predictable. Others might surprise you.

Keep in mind: family, friends and beloved pets are a given.

Things I miss (1 month down, 26 to go):

  • HOT SHOWERS
  • Sandwiches
  • Wifi
  • Seedless Fruit
  • Carpeting in homes
  • All forms of affection (hugs, kisses, handholding, etc.)
  • Diet Dr. Pepper
  • Target
  • Bookstores
  • Cheese
  • Toasters
  • Drinking fountains
  • Frozen pizza
  • Random text messaging throughout the day
  • The Daily Show
  • Crossword Puzzles
  • Sunday comics
  • Relatively clean public restrooms
  • Wearing flip-flops

Things I don´t:

  • Campaign ads
  • Lame American media
  • Hummers
  • The desire to own a Wii
  • Tipping
  • Having to drive everywhere
  • Being constantly connected to the internet
  • Hectic daily routines
  • Wal-mart

Hello Robyn,

My name is Deborah Lee and I'm an RPCV who served in Morocco from '93-'95. I am currently living in Lima as a missionary (counselor and educator at a Christian school.) I've been here since January 22.

I would love to connect with other PCVs here in Peru. If you are so inclined can you please send my message on to other volunteers? My blog is http://www.fiercebeloved.blogspot.com.

I hope all is going well... even if you miss diet Dr. Pepper! You'll find new things to love here.

Peace,
Deborah
