Chau Argentina

We are winding down our time in Argentina. We have airline tickets and are packing up our gear. However, it does not feel real yet. When will it feel real? I suppose it feels surreal as I am not sure what to expect. I am happy my husband and I can live together in the USA as we always planned. I am sad about saying goodbye to the friends I have made here.

I have become accustomed to being an "expat" neither a resident of either country I am inhabiting. Its not that I like living in limbo because I now crave some routine and knowing that I am no longer in a temporary living situation. Many people tell me its exciting to live in Argentina and why bother returning? I actually enjoy living in the USA with all its contradictions. On the other hand, Argentina is also a place of contradiction but I am still an outsider.

I find myself hoping and praying you will answer this comment...I have my own story about being married and deported, which for me has just began. And I desperatly need a friend. Someone to talk to, someone who understands my situation because no one here does. I am hoping that you will email me so I can email you and send you my story. its stephaniedemiranda@gmail.com
I hope you dont find this weird, i ran across your blog when i was googling and it gave me a strange sense of hope.
