Over and Out.

I just want to say THANKS to everyone who followed my blog. It was an amazing year and I am sad to say it's over. I am actually heading to College (yes, finally) on September 5th. Now, I don't know if I will have anything to blog remotely as entertaining and crazy as this past year soooo I guess this is goodbye until I set out in my next adventure abroad!

Over and out!

Me Voy

Sitting on the plane going to Buenos Aires. It's over. I can't believe how time flies. I am going to miss Argentina and my Romero family MUCHISIMO!! Walking away from them down the ramp was so hard... tears fell from my eyes as my hands took turns throwing to my family afar. I am wearing a gorgeous scarf Mama made for me. I will always remember her kindness and gratuity.

I see the faces and hear the cries of the people I left behind, and feel the lump in my throat as I try to stay strong (not wanting everyone on the plane think I'm crazy....). In these cases however I am as vulnerable as can be. My heart takes over my emotions and my pride is forced to step back. I am so happy to have experienced what I did. The dining hall and all the kids...Luci, Ana, Graciela, y Erica as well as the Hermanas, Luci + fam, boys from futbol, and of course mi familia and mi amor Argentina!

BESOS X SIEMPRE.

Last Day Rio

Well its my last day in Rio believe it or not. It is a gorgeous day with the sun shining down. Warm enough finally for just shorts and a t-shirt! I am sitting in a park watching local kids enjoy the day with a game of pick up futbol. What I really want to do right now is join haha! I already miss all the kids from the Dining Hall whom I just said goodbye to. I just want to go back and play another round with them! It really beats everything in life. Sharing laughs over a simple game of futbol. It has just been two hours since I have seen them this morning, or left them, and I miss them soo much! Knowing that I may never see them again kills me. I am tempted to go back and see if they want to play again! I know another goodbye will be unbearable-- as you can see the first one didn't go so well with me. This Gap Year has been too good to me and I'm gunna miss every part of it. I already do!!! Everyone I've met has a place in my heart and memories that I will cherish forever... from Bolivia and Peru to Australia and New Zealand now back here to this little town in Argentina. Thanks for everything. Argentina rocks and I can't wait to return (SOON HOPEFULLY!!!).
