"Saudades"
I received an email from one of my old Brazilian roommates today with the Subject reading "Saudades". In English, "saudades" is best translated "homesicknesses". It's kind of weird... it's like saying, "I have homesickness for you". While it is true that I AM "homesick" for Brazil and all my friends there, I am having "saudades" for MY home!
Yesterday, as we drove into Kettering, Ohio I spotted a Tim Hortons!! I couldn't believe it! Timmies in Ohio?! My runner told me that when Wendy's bought Tim Hortons they opened their U.S. Corporate offices in Columbus, Ohio. Columbus and vicinity is now the "test market" for Tim Hortons! A "sign" from the Great White North! [http://www.timhortons.com/]
So yesterday, while I was driving, I started planning out my trek home... you can tell that I am just about "done" with this trip when I start trying to figure out exactly what day & time I will arrive back in Brantford! Don't get me wrong, it has been good, but I am ready to come home and sleep in my OWN bed!
