This is my last week in Concepcion… what a
week. We had a music festival, dinner party, asada, and gift giving. I’m leaving with much more than I came with,
and not all of it fits in my suitcase. Next week I’m heading to Santiago, the
capital of Chile –a big city full of movement and excitement. It will be a nice way of closing to my adventures of exploration here in Concepcion. I hate to say
goodbye, so I am saying ‘see you later’ to Chile.
Leaving the cold for the humidity of a
Louisiana summer is bittersweet. Here I’m have great food, fun, memories and
fun. I have made awesome connections to students…I’ve never received so many
hugs around my waist and heard my name called so often. I’m leaving my
fashionista host mother, she never leaves the house without heels, my chef host
father, Lolli (abuelita), and a house full of sisters (4 to be exact). I know
that there will be tears while I’m at the airport as a go back through the
memories of the past three weeks.
A quick run through of this week would
include photo sessions (makeup was a must), Storytelling workshop, a
championship volleyball game (TEAM USA), a posh dinner party, more graffiti, a
music festival and final barbeque. This
week has been a gumbo of fatigue, excitement, organized chaos, and love.
Chao Hasta Luego (See you later)!!!
