10 days

Only 10 more days in Mexico! 

With this in mind I wanted to make a list of the 10 things I miss most in the states. 

10. Vegetables. I miss being full after I eat and not having high protein/carb meals every meal.

9. Work. I miss being in the lab where people actually answer my questions. The huge walk-in freezer is also a plus.

8. Cleanliness. I am almost always covered in dirt and sweat as is everything else around me. 

7. Being able to wash my clothes myself. So I don't own my own washer and dryer but I'm spoiled and have never had to pay to get my clothes washed before.

6. Air conditioner. It is hot and humid here - all day. Even when it rains. The only reason I am not putting warm showers on this list is because cold showers are a relief from the heat.  

5. Sleep. *see point 6 

4. COOKING! I love cooking but my host mom here wont let me near her kitchen nor would I know where to find the spices I love to use when in the States.

3. Trails. Be it McDonald Forest, John's Peak, or a brief stint through Avery Park I am craving long runs on dirt trails with some good friends. Not having to run hungry and dehydrated will also be a plus.

2. Chocolate chip cookies. 'Nuff said.

1. Family. They are my best of friends, my biggest fans, and I can't wait to see them!
