And here we... go

This will be my final post of this blog. Yes, that means that if you have any interest in what is going on with my life, you will actually have to keep in touch with me (and that my trip is over). There is no way to sum up my time spent traveling. Suffice it to say, though, that I feel I have grown by ages. At times, it has felt like i have lived an entire life in a matter of weeks. Days go by and I feel like the story never took a break. As excited as I was about my trip, I am just as excited to start my life post-hiatus. Well, maybe not OFFICALLY start it, but at least get the ball rolling. I said BALL. Anyway, whatever my motivation was for taking this trip, I can say that I have grown and have found new motivations for starting my life afterwards. Whats more, I have met people who helped me see that I enjoy living my life in the manner of a river - each drop of water passing a new place that is all too familiar, yet never been touched. Repetition is for the old, rest is for the weary, and today is for me. Ive read great books. Palanihuk. Fitzgerald. Hemingway. Pirsig. Seen amazing things. Machu Pichu. Buenos Aires. Bocas del Toro. Met amazing people. Davi from France. Delores from Tigre. Melissa (and Azed )from England. Yael from Israel. Erin from Australia. The Finnish guys. Rergardless of what happens in my life from this point forward, I will ALWAYS have something that makes me smile. As much as I love the people who have passed through and are in my life, I can honestly say without any hesistation that the friends I have made and experienced will forever shape the course of my life. Thanks, Eppie and Jona. You too, Peter. And, there are people like Spicer, who will donate his name to people from my past. People like Camillia, who saw lights i didnt know shined. Managua, Managua, Managua. Lima. Angelo and Chiba, who reminded me of what you can find under a rock if you open your eyes, Delores, who pulled back the brush to show the path. And Jyri, who, well shit, he's just Jyri. These are just names to the people who are reading them, but I promise you that they will mean the world to me for years to come, and I ask all that read this post to give them as much credit. Thanks for reading and following. I cant wait to remember some of these stories when I am drunk around the BBQ (parillia) with my friends. Thanks for taking the time.
