Spanish goodbyes

This week I've been having my final goodbyes with some people in Spain. Monday night was our goodbye dinner, and I got to spend a couple of hours with all the people who run Geranios. It was very hard to say goodbye to María José. She told me to let her know next time I was in Spain. We got pictures with everyone and parted ways, and the fact that I'm leaving Spain is becoming more real as my last wind winds up.

Yesterday was my last day working with Miriam. We exchanged many hugs at the end before she left. She got me a necklace as a going-away gift, which was incredibly sweet of her. She also told me that I'd been a very good teacher and friend to her this semester. I told her she had been the same to me. I'm going to miss her! We have each other's email addresses, so hopefully she'll be able to let me know if she's ever in the U.S.

I'm going to a secondhand shop in two days to try and sell my internet router, so I will be without internet for a little while before leaving. I can't believe I'm almost done!
