Today is my last full day in Huaihua. Right now I’m sitting in the middle of a half-clean apartment trying my best to fit everything I own into two suitcases. The weather today is just the way I like it: clear blue skies. The towering mountains in the distance are visible from my school and there is just the slightest breeze. The sun is bright and my students walk back to their Saturday classes (they have classes seven days a week) along the shade path under the trees. They call out to me: “Good afternoon teacher!” I’m going to miss that.
Tomorrow I take a bus to Changsha where I will see friends for a couple days before flying back to America. There will be a little break here on the blog until I settle myself back in the States. I have so much I haven’t posted about and thousands of photos I need to upload, which because of computer problems and a slow internet I haven’t been able to do yet. I promise I will get to all of it once I’m back home in Massachusetts. So long until then.
