MAY 2011- MAY 2012!! AN AMAZING YEAR





Hola amigos!! July is already here, and I finally got back to El Salvador ( after being away by myself more than a year). By being laid in my bed after a 4km swimming session, I realised that my American experience was over; however, i  just can´t  still assimilate that a year ago i was in Yellowstone Park taking pictures of the geysers and doing fun stuff such as rock climbing or rafting. Sometimes i think i am still in Bozeman, sometimes i ask myself whether this whole thing was just the coolest dream ever!! The fact that all these amazing moments happened in a blink of an eye still shocks me but its such a bliss that i had this opportunity !! =D It´s so ironic that today i laugh about so many moments that made me panic or look like a fool at some  stage throughout 2011-1012  . Today, I am finding myself more mature,responsible, organised and independent at some point . For example,  I remember how vulnerable i felt when i just got to Bozeman , I could not even go out because the weather would freeze me; the first nights i cried because I was always cold,I missed my mami, papi, and pets, I had no winter clothes, I did not know anybody , aaaand to make it worse, I had no idea of how to regulate the heater !!!!!!!!!!!!!! jajaja . Nevertheless, everything changed quickly   and i had no problems trying to adapt myself to such a different enviroment. It´s so interesting the fact that i got the chance to learn and experience things that i would never practice here in a country like ES.




 Skiing was one of the coolest things in the world, I remember being at Big Sky and getting into my first lift chair;  going up the hill frightened me !!! I had such a rough beginning and spent like 1 hour  trying to get down jajajajajaja... I crashed at every single minute and after so many emergency landingings and look like a fool in the snow, I just told myself "Sonita, just let yourself go, whatever happens happens" , so when i lost my balance i would just throw myself to the snow and get up!!! After 1 attempt or so, i finally got it and i managed to get down whilst doing some turns :D  it felt like glory !! I made it !! and i didnt fall so many times :)
  I also remember how scary i was whilst  water skiing,rafting and kayaking, It was so much fun though. Rock climbing was another Bozeman challenge, but i still made it to the top :D yay!!!
 Besides the happy times, I had to cope with sad moments as well. Trying to handle with difficult situations such as my beloved dog, bunny and a relative´s death was not easy, however, i was never left alone . Traveling within  the 4 cardinal points of the United States was amazing too :)  
How can i forget all the  lovely people who made this trip the best experience ever; every minute, every chat, every dancing, evrery craziness, every tear, every party, every laugh, oh well every moment i spent  with them was so remarkable and i want to thank all of you for that (hopefully  you will get to read this). I really wish to meet with them in the future and personally, by being with all this amazing  people, I have a small part of Europe, Africa, America, Asia and Oceania with me . I am grateful with everybody who supported me whilst being in the US and the ones in ES. Thank you May 2011 - May 2012 I had  a blast!!
