back to the mountains..

the quito project ended last week and i´ve been with GIEU for the past four days now.

the last day of quito project went like this.

´boys, i´m leaving ecuador in two days! i´m going to miss you all!´
´nooooo, what are we going to do when you are not here?´
´oh, don´t worry! more tutors are coming this weekend and they will be here next week to work with you!´
´but, but, we´ve already fallen in love with all of you...´

after that was just tears and hugs and kisses until we really had to leave.
it´s so hard getting to know someone and then having to leave them once again.
i knew i was leaving them in three weeks and i actually tried to not get myself too attached, but that never seems to work.

i´ll be meeting new people once again and living with another host family who i know will become my own. there is always the fear of saying good byes, but the precious memories and relationships gained from it might be better than not even getting to know these amazing people.

so, i will open my heart once again and do my best to understand their culture, their way of life.
