Hours Until Departure...

As I sit in my room debating whether to watch Rescuers Down Under of Finding Nemo at 3:30 am on the day that I leave Australia, I look back on the time I had here...

I departed on July 13th to a country that I barely knew, to live at a place that I didn't know where it was, with people who I have never heard of before. I leave on November 23rd from a country that I deeply love, from a place that I considered home, with people who have become my second family.

There is no possible way to describe all of my experiences in hundreds of thousands of words. So I am no going to even try. I am just going to say that it was the best decision I ever made and sincerely recomend it to anyone who has a chance.

Thanks to everyone who followed my goings on and asked about my time here. I look forward to seeing all of you over thanksgiving and christas break

Video Coming Soon.

Cheers and Love,
Richard

it seems like forever ago since you left and i couldn't be happier for you that it was as amazing as you could have hoped!! i am super jealous that you'll be home for thanksgiving (except for the fact that i'm not quite ready to leave granada yet), but can't wait to see you for christmas and hear about everything for real :)
