Saying goodbyes

After New Year’s Eve I had to wish my farewells to my friend Autumn from Canada because her six months in Paraguay was up. Though it was sad we still went out with a bang and all went to the club together for one last time. It was weird for her to leave this place; and also funny to look back and me and some of my friends earlier thoughts. In the beginning the majority of us were slightly judging the people that were only staying for six months. Saying things like ¨oh why would you do all this and pay all the money and not get the full experience.¨ In the end we are realizing that the joke is on all of us because they were the people that have a better concept of how long six months really is. Though I am extremely glad I am not leaving yet because I am just getting more comfortable in my city and with my Spanish it makes me laugh on how when I was leaving I had no concept of what I was getting myself into. But, I could not even imagine having to leave right now. Though I have many push and pull factors in my life I have to say I have made better friends and experiences here in less than six months than I did in almost seventeen years back in Colorado. Being here has taught me how to live.

This is a picture of my friends not everyone, and i do have a better photo this one just describes us so well when we are together that i could not share it.

This is me Emily (middle) and Autumn (right) at the club. They are my North America support most of the time because when we go out it is mostly people from Belgium. Autumn is the one who left on January 6th!
