Let that city take you in, let that city spit you out...come on home

As much as I try to squeeze my eyes shut, put off the inevitable, and savor the moment, the reality is that my wonderful bliss of traveling around Colombia for weeks on end has just about wrapped up. I have come full circle and find myself back in Medellin, the city that more than one person has referred to as my *real* hometown in this country. Sunday morning, I leave for the coast.

I started this adventure about 20 days ago and have managed to make a lifetime of memories that spanned the gap between one year and the next. Thanks to the wonderful trainee network around this country, as well as countless amazing Colombians who have touched my life, this month has by far had the biggest impact on my life thusfar into my traineeship.

Love, tears, music, laughter...From one corner of the country to the opposite, 8 cities and pueblos, countless hours spent in buses and cars...I've had it all.
