This was our second to last weekend so it was very full of seeing groups of different people as we try to spend as much time as possible with everyone. Eric met a former student Saturday afternoon while I met a group of my friends. Saturday evening we both met up with a group of former coworkers from last year. We wanted to go to a meat buffet so we did, but, unfortunately, both the meat and the side dishes really weren't that great. But it was still a good time eating together and then spending the rest of the night at someone's house hanging out together. On Sunday we went to lunch with one of my former kindergarten students and his family which was a really nice time, but also really hard to say goodbye.
Today I started my vacation doing some sorting between suitcases, give away bags, and a box to be shipped. It still feels like there is so much stuff to get rid of but most of the drawers and cupboards in our apartment are getting quite empty. It's just getting rid of the big furniture items that we will need to do in these last couple weeks.
As we begin to say goodbye to everyone we have become friends with over
the last two years, we realize just how difficult that can be. It feels
so much more final than saying goodbye to our family and friends when
we left home two years ago. We always knew we would go back, but this
is more difficult as there's no telling when we will see any of these
friends again. But at the same time, knowing all these people from so
many different places around the world could possibly create some other
exciting traveling opportunities in the future!
