Andy and I in Santa Teresa
Some of us before the sunset
The wonderful people I spent Thanksgiving with
San Juan del Sur, NicaraguaSo like everything in life…all good things come to an end. Last night and today all the wonderful people that I spent amazing days with and non stop laughter with have left. Now its just me, I take the bus to San Jose tomorrow afternoon, spent the night at a hostel and fly out on Sunday morning…
Its funny how things change, I was so nervous to come here, not knowing what to expect, who to meet, or where to live and I ended up meeting some of the most amazing people I’ve met in a while. I had an incredible roommate, okay almost two roommates cause Andy was always here, and we all had so many good conversations about anything and everything. I spent most of my time with five girls that honestly made the experience as great as it was, we laughed soo much it was ridiculous. I really do think that coming here has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life.
But it does suck…it sucks soo much how you start something and you like it and enjoy it so much and then all of the sudden, sooner than you know its all gone. Now its back to California (which I do miss), but…I guess there is always a but. I have never been faced with the reality that we always want what we can’t have as much as I have here…and I just kept reminding myself so just enjoy the moment because everything comes to an end…and unfortunately nothing lasts forever. I am glad that the people I did get closer to live either in California (few of them go to school in Chico), Reno, and Arizona. So its good that we can all meet up if we really wanted to. And to all the other wonderful people that I met that are far away, it nice to know that if I’m ever in their home town I have a few friends here and there around the world.
Being home I’m sure will be really nice. The only thing that I don’t want to do is stay here until tomorrow because Puntarenas just isn’t the same without the people…it feels lonely. Today I’ll lay out for a while, read and enjoy the last hot day before going to cold weather wearing sweaters and jeans (but its going to be nice waking up and being cold). Other than that I think I’ll finish packing and cleaning the house because tomorrow the landlord is coming to give me the deposit money back and so I can turn in the keys. He is going to be nice enough to drive me to the bus station tomorrow so I don’t have to carry the suitcase around.
I was telling Jaime the other day that it really sucks meeting people and knowing you probably wont ever see them again. Its not that you don’t want to its just that everyone has their own lives and we all just were a tiny part of those peoples lives. I guess its nice at the same time though, like Jaime was saying because you enjoy the time for what it is and then you can always go visit or they can come visit and I guess reminisce the good times and hopefully plan for more to come somewhere down the road.
Being alone is what I wanted when I came here…to get away from everything I knew. Now thinking back, that lasted for about a few hours and slowly I started meeting the people that made this experience what it was and at the end I’m leaving this place with some good friendships, and incredible memories…
So as of now…50 something hours till I come home!
