I woke up to the sweltering Zanzibar air of 2019. The whole place is very hot. It is not an easy place to live in. But my mind was on the New Year. The night before we had even heard fireworks go up. It seemed like such a special moment to me. We had our first breakfast of 2019, and decided that we would probably take the day off. We work very hard on schoolwork every day, and so we took the day off and laid low for the very first day of 2019.
Throughout the whole day, I just watched the environment around me, from to the people to the plants, and thought about how it was Jan. 1st, 2019, and probably everybody here was thinking the same thing as I was.
The world had seemed to start anew, even though the same things were probably happening, both the bad and the good. Yesterday was New Year’s Eve, and today was New Year’s Day. 2019 is here.
2020 will come in a whole year. Pole pole, it will come eventually.

Pole pole
We have a lazy day here also
Soon you will be in a new continent
It is cold in this side of the world
Pole pole nothing is forever
Happy New Year

Tom is right–you will always remember 2018. I hope the new year is just as wonderful.
On New Year’s eve, I like to stay safe and warm, except when my father was alive, and he would dig a hole in the ground and cook a cow’s head for barbacoa. At midnight we would gather around the bonfire, and sing Auld Lang Sang (sp ?). It would always strike me as amusing that we as Hispanics would sing that instead of something else. Sometimes we shared a glass of champagne and once someone brought a lot of sticky string, and we had a lot of fun.
I had to go out and see the fireworks outside, and they were beautiful. The neighbors were shooting toward my house, I suppose because we have a metal roof, but even with the fireworks exploding above my head, I didn’t feel any heat. I kept say, “Oh, my gosh!” over and over, because they were so beautiful, even if it sounded like a battleground. A night to remember.
Happy New Year to all!
