Time does fly...
9 days left and I can't believe it's gone by so fast. Saturday Maru leaves for Bocas del Toro, so I have only 3 days left with her. Then comes the impossible task of goodbyes, to all of these people who have changed my life and place upon me the mantle of having transformed theirs. Weird to think I will soon be in a place without raspao vendors, without a thousand panaderias, without old men proposing marriage in the park. I am seriously torn about leaving. On one hand... I miss Santa Cruz, I miss my home, I miss my friends and family. On the other, this place is finally a part of me, I am finally learning to fit in it with less awkwardness. I'm not ready to switch to English, to intense studying, to people with money. I'm just not. But I get to, and once again I will grow and shrink and reform to another land, a land as foreign to me now Panama once was.

Of course. Could I drop by Saturday afternoon after Devlin's recital?
