Effective packing

Now there are a few things I have that I’m grateful for remembering to bring, and others I wish I hadn’t forgotten.

I did bring:

Slippers: With wintertime and tile floors, socks won’t cut it.

Books: I have a lot of down time, and curling up to read keeps me sane.

Comfy shoes: Like I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been walking between 1 and 2.5 hours every day since I’ve been here—my feet better be treated right!

Things I forgot:

Spanish/English dictionary: I remember thinking to myself to bring it…but I forgot. I struggle the most with vocabulary, and I’ve learned ways around it—but I’ll be thankful when the house has Internet so I can look words up!

Things I brought that are unnecessary:

Malaria medicine: It’s wintertime, there are no mosquitoes, and even Laura said malaria doesn’t exist in Salta—but I guess it’s better to be safe than sorry.
