The past ten days have seemed like the past ten hours. I really was doubting my choice to come to Haiti, but now that we’re leaving tomorrow, I can’t seem to want to say goodbye. When the plane landed I can remember thinking to myself, “what did I just get myself into?!” It felt like we were going to be spending a lifetime in Haiti. Sadly, ten days was not enough time to hang out with all of our new friends and play music and learn Creole.
The hardest part about leaving is leaving behind all of our friends. It’s going to be really strange not seeing all the faces that we’ve come accustomed to greeting throughout every day. We can’t always remember their names, but their wide smiles and happy chatter in Creole and/or English is what made this camp so amazing. Although we’ve gotten countless Facebook names and email addresses to remember each other by, nothing will be as memorable as meeting all these wonderful people in person.
It’s going to be almost impossible to say goodbye tomorrow morning. The only consolation is knowing that maybe we can see everyone again next summer.
