The Last Days

This past week has really been a blur! I can't believe how fast the time has gone; I leave tomorrow. This week has been a week of goodbyes. I said goodbye to my Spanish teacher, Blanca. I also had to say goodbye to the Casa which was more difficult than I expected. They made me a picture frame with pictures of my class so I would remember. I truly hope I will be able to come back someday to visit the Casa again. Finally, last night I said goodbye to Ivan. He's gone to Santa Cruz today and will most likely not make it back in time to see me off at the airport. I think the hardest thing is knowing that I still have goodbyes in front of me...
There have been positives this week though. The elections went peacefully and Evo is once again in power. Also, we now have four little kittens! And other than a short trip to the vet and an experience of cutting umbilical cords (which I would rather not ever experience again!) everything went well!
I am so looking forward to coming home and seeing you all again and telling you all of my stories! Until then, keep me in your prayers; I still have to brave the airports!

  1. Hey I'm so sorry we didn't officially say goodbye. I realized late last night when I went to bed " Hey I didn't say goodbye". I'm confident we will see each other so time down the road. It was great having you here in Bolivia. Enjoy Christmas with Tim and family.
    Love Norma
