1. Our Cats! We miss them so much.
2. Potable tap water. One thing that you will never find in Mexico: a drinking fountain.
3. Our wedding rings. Yes, we have our temporary ones (I'm on my second temporary ring after the first turned my finger green), but it's not the same.
4. Throwing toilet paper into the toilet. Isn't that why it's called "toilet" paper?
5. Cell phones. This ones a bit mixed: we like the freedom of not having our cell phones, but it's nice to be able to just call and talk to friends and family when we feel like it.
And a special category: FOOD. First, we miss cooking for ourselves. It's been ages since we've prepared a proper meal. We also miss certain kinds of food that we can't seem to find here, such as:
- Vegetables (iceberg lettuce does not count, Mexico!)
- Gluten-free baked goods (well, one of us misses them)
- Sushi
- Thai food
- Cheesecakes from the Cheesecake Factory
- Pizza from CPK
- Korean BBQ
- Good (even normal) chocolate
For those of you who have the pleasure of seeing us in our first weeks back, I hope you enjoy some or all of these things, because we will be hoping to eat them with you. (My stepfather, when talking with me about restaurants we might want to visit when we come into town in a week and a half, very amusingly offered to take us to Rudy's, the local--you guessed it--Mexican food joint. I think Emily and I will need a couple of weeks' recovery after our return before we eat Mexican food.)
