Goodbyes

Saying goodbye is sometimes really easy. In the case of Jeremiah, it really could not have come at a better time, I was all about it. It was a goodbye and quick and that was it. I would have been fine with no goodbye, but perhaps that would have been rude.

Saying goodbye to Suzanna was very hard. I had just met her but I felt a strong connection to her. Perhaps it was that we had many things in common, but also her situation with staying in Israel and her struggles made the goodbye very difficult. It was a short goodbye as she could not handle much more then that.

I did make it to the Pecan Grove. Okay, so it was pitch black out, but the full moon lit it up beautifully. I can only imagine how beautiful it looked during the day; no wonder they have so many weddings there! Anyway, I hung out with Jonathan for a bit and then he drove me back to the farm. It was a quick goodbye, with him staying the driver's seat. He said that he would stop by before work tomorrow. That did not happen, I did not think it would. We have ways to stay in touch though.

Amir was kind enough and stuck to his word of driving me to the airport. This may not seem like a big deal, but every time I heard a car start up I ran outside to make sure he had not forgotten and was heading to work or something. My clothes from the day before, were still wet (I hung them out at noon!) I put them in the sun and almost all of them were dry, yay! I packed and of course worried about the weight of my suitcase...20kg, please be less then 20kg...

Amir and I had some good conversations driving to the airport and I wish him the best and most amazing amount of luck with the farm. He seems to have such passion for what he is doing and the farm looks amazing. I am sure with the right advertizing, he will be able to get more then he ever expecting back from the farm. He is a wonderful person and I hope to meet up with him again!

Throughout my trip I have have many a disappointments as far as meeting up with people and people breaking their word. It is a hard thing to be so close to some people and trust in their word and be disappointment. I feel it happened again and again and I mean, I am 25, I should know this would happen, especially with certain people. I guess even though I expected it on some level, I truly hoped that they would surprise me and things would have been different. It is one of those learning things, that I wish I did not have to learn.

On the flip-side, I met some wonderful people. The stories and part of their life that they shared with me have been great memories and wonderful additions to my trip. I truly am lucky to have been able to take this trip and to have met those that I did and to have been able to spend some of the time with Justin!
