Hasta nunca.



June 21, 2008
Oaxaca, Oaxaca, Mexico

Pictures:  the view from our roof;  skeletons from an art gallery;  

Good:  Last day of Spanish classes were yesterday.

Bad: Last day of Spanish classes were yesterday.

Surprising:  I am surprised at how sad I was to say good-bye to our spanish teachers. 
Learning a language from someone, struggling to share our life stories in simplified Spanish, is an amazingly intimate experience.  As I face more good-byes, quite likely forever with most of the people,  I realize once again how wonderful and horrible it is for me to have connections with people scattered around the world.  I am not very good with this 'hasta nunca' thing.  So we pretend it is not 'until never', but most likely it will be.
