Monday, November 5, 2007 - I spent the next week deciding to "postpone my return another day" every day, but mediation was coming up on November 16 and I needed at least 3 days to drive back. I would have to leave this weekend of November 8, little as I wanted to leave Ana. We spent the week going to concerts, hanging out with her friends (mostly Brasilian - who rock), hanging out with my cousins.. This is a different life here. This group of people takes a huge bite out of life and chomp. They get out and do something interesting every day.
I so dig the way Ana lives as well. She has a roommate and their apartment is beautiful - old architecture in the heart of Portland, and they have neither cable nor even a dishwasher. She needs very little in life and is obviously not concerned with material things. It's horribly refreshing. I think she's even lower-maintenance than I am.
I decided to postpone my return until next week.
