We started out the evening at Pops (as we should) and treated ourselves to our final triple scoop cones! We then took our cones to the park and hung out. We talked, hugged, laughed, and were just us.
After the park we walked around town, ate some yummy BBQ wings, and then headed up to the top of the hill by campus for a view of the town and final snuggles. We reached the stadium and found a patch in the grass. Without wasting time we laid down and made a snuggling and spooning mess. Haha! We star gazed, talked, and just chilled.
Once we were all cold and tired we stood up and resisted the goodbyes. We went for a group hug instead. Haha! Typical us...
No, but honestly, once we reached the bottom of the hill we knew it was time. We have all become so close over these four months. The goodbyes were tough, but they also reminded me of what an amazing thing I got to take part in by being here with these people. Not only has Costa Rica been outstanding, but this group of individuals is incredible and our group dynamic has created something extraordinary. We are all comfortable and free to be exactly who we are and in that know we are loved and supported. It's really the way families are supposed to work. =)
