I don't know if this was so much a day in Panama as it was a blur of final airport goodbyes and travel logistics. Goodbyes are always my least favorite part of trips- I'd much rather walk away as if it were any other day, because the friendships that count are the ones that you can pick right back up where you left off no matter how long you've been apart.
As we touched back down to America, the view from the plane was beautiful. I don't know when I'll get to go back to Panama, only that there's no way I'm not returning. In a country where time seems to stand still, I almost hope things will always stay the same as they were when I visited. Of course that's completely unreasonable and selfish, because the Piriati Embera community will continue growing and changing at their own pace. But it's nice to know that there's one more place in the world now where I know I can find a friend. Cheers to Global Brigades, new adventures, new friendships, new perspectives, and one hell of a trip!
