Jacquie
What are you doing?
He asked not unkindly.
Which country are you in?
Can you hear me through the din or am I disturbing the rural tranquility?
Are you being a tourist or a local?
I think you are lucky to have such olive skin.  I think you will be welcome most anywhere for it.
I know you don’t miss me so much, nor should you.  But maybe that’s why I miss you so much.  But this isn’t about me.
Do you have any new favorite foods?  New best friends?
Have you visited all the places pictured in the postcards?
Do you show off your passport stamps like fresh tattoos?
Have you, like me, come to realize your own culture through immersion in another?
Are you layering?  Did you buy a good winter jacket?
Have you visited the museum yet?  Or is that only for tourists?
