Absolutely Lovely

So much love...

It can't be contained on only a few islands

straight cheeseing

The people your parents warned you about

it's good to be a poco loco

I don't think they were ready for us

I wish there was photo for every one of them

Chistes y'all

There will never be enough of these photos

If I attempt to truly encompass who the people here are, I doubt that there would ever be an end to my blog, but I’ll try anyway. My first thought on them would be cool, I experience each day a realization that I’m surrounded by some of the coolest people in the world from all parts of the world. Sure we’re all a tad bit eccentric in this group but each one is wholly, undeniably their self, and I’m constantly giddy with surprise that I’m permitted to hang out with them.

It's good to be un poco mas de poco loco

Second would be caring. I always worry  that I’ll be filled up with my experience here and will be overflowing on my return not able to bring back the extra that spilled while I am here, but I am definitely certain that this archipelago has overflowed with care long before one month or one week was reached since our arrival. Whether it is the land, the sea, the flying birds, the spouting whales, or a tree blowing in the wind, everything is inexplicably loved here by one of us, down to the last lonely Homo sapiens.




Talented would be the third. Whether it’s solo guitar, playing in a steel drum band, soccer, hockey, singing, or ability to make someone smile under any circumstance, they are so good at it all and the list goes on. It’s also not like each one carries a sign with a list of their accomplishments and skills; it’s just what they do, because they simply love it. They are amateurs (lovers) of a plethora of things in the truest sense of the word.

Love the sea

              

     I could keep going, but then this blog post would never end. These people these friends here are lovely, and I love them all. They’re irreconcilably crazy, and love being that way even more. I only hope that I can express the full extent of my love for them, and past memories and future meetings continue after this next month ends.

love the tree

Our teachers have always told us all the current, impossible global problems and that “We’re too many”, well there’s no doubt that these beautiful friends are too lovely to let just a little ol’ impossibility stop them.
