    Used the lens trick Marshall showed me. Thanks!
    I'm wearing a scarf and long sleeves. Everyone else is wearing t-shirts.
    The flight was smooth. The sun set over New Jersey last night as I stopped at the Vince Lombardi rest area by the George Washington Bridge. Spanish was the first thing I heard as I walked in to buy some french fries. It made me very happy. I have to admit my first thought as I approached the passport control was, "okay, I get it, USA and all that. I'm ready to go back to Mexico now." But this morning, as cold as it was, it was nice to see flowers that didn't look like they were holding on for dear life, tiny leaves on tall trees and fresh green happy grass. It will be great to have dinner with my parents tonight, to be back at 32 Hart Street tomorrow and have dinner with my sister on Sunday. I talked to Britt for an hour or so today, and it looks like I'll be visiting Providence pretty soon too.
    I miss you all in San Miguel already.
    HoUSAtonic-ers (and greater Great Barringtonites): Steven is picking me up at Wassaic at 6pm Saturday. See you all very soon!

    Semana Santa is over. I am totally exhausted. I have never taken so many pictures in my life. I'm glad the week ended with a real bang.
