Saying Goodbyes

It´s coming down to it here. Today I am taking off from Cobán for good and heading out for a couple weeks before I come home. I´ll work on two more surgical missions and that´ll be it for Guatemala.

I´ve been running around visiting all the sites where I´ve worked. In June, we had our annual meeting where I got to see off all the health promoters that I´ve worked with this last year. This past week, I came back up to Cobán and went out to see all the families at the coop. I´m having one last throw down with my Peace Corps friends tonight. Guatemalans always get torn up with goodbyes and I am terrible at them, so it´s pretty exhausting, but it´s got to happen. I am really going to miss this place.
