This day has started with very mixed emotions for me. I am leaving all the new friends I have made. It is amazing to me that you can become so close to people in such a short time. This is like leaving family. After coming home from the party last night, we were all very quiet but thankful that we had had this opportunity to get to know each other.
Patricia's mom said she wants me to consider her my second mom so now I have a mom in the US and one here. She made some special Xmas decorations for me which will always be part of my Xmas's.
The weather is a little cooler this morning with a nice breeze. I am finishing some paperwork and getting ready to go to the airport at 12:00 my plane doesn't leave for Quito until 2:00 but getting these suitcases all checked in may take some time. I thought by leaving things here, that I brought for everyone, it would lighten my load and I would have more room, but just the opposite, people gave me so many things that I am having a really hard time getting everything in to 3 bags.
Hope everyone is well this Thanksgiving day and my thoughts and love are with you all. Will write more tonight when I am settled in Quito.
6:00pm
Arrived safely and Jorge was heremto meet me but Diego was no where in sight. I really was worried as both of them said they would be there. We waited and Diego came and I told Jorge we would get together the next day.
Diego had some errands to run for the breakfast conference, so we did that and went to his house, had dinner and visited for a short time and I crashed. New town, new bed, and the altitude change should make for a challenging night.
