Where In The World Is.. Maya!
| Hola from central and south america! This is going to be the adventure of a lifetime, and youre all invited to join me! For six months (at least .. we'll have to see if i ever return!), I will travel the beautiful americas teaching itsy bitsy children ... valuable knowledge, while I learn about the world outside the all encompassing - or so we thought! - toronto, Jewish bubble. Feel free to visit often, read my entries, post a message (yay!), and keep me company as i go very far away from all of you lovelies. That way a little bit of you gets to accompany me to all of these great places! It's practically like you're there too. Practically. Save me some snow, will ya? (Too soon to make fun of all of you for being in the cold while i'm sweating buckets in the heat? Yes? Oh. My bad.) See you cats on the flip side! xoxo |
