This is the last weekend of tourists as it is the final festival of the year, so as of tomorrow things are going to thin out here with people.
It will just be the locals after that and it will go back to normal once again for another winter. I am going to book a flight to the states in two more months and go home to see my family and have some of mom’s homemade Christmas cookies. I just want to sit on the sofa and watch their fireplace while Burl Ives plays in the background. I just like eating the frozen cookie dough instead of the baked cookies because it tastes so yummy. The local contractor back home will have some work for me if I want it, which helps a lot with covering the expenses of my trip. I think the most expensive thing is a rental car but I will probably opt for Uber rides and rides from friends and family. The local business where I rented a car last time charged me over $2500 for a small car for two months, and that didn’t include the $500 I spent on gas. I’m working for the local HVAC company now but don’t want to blow all of my savings on a rental car that I only use a couple times a week. I have a lot of friends and family who will let me borrow their cars when they aren’t using them so it should be fine not renting a car. I will still need air conditioning in the car as winter isn’t that cold back home.
