Tearful goodbyes

On Saturday I left Jarabacoa with many tears.  I was very sad to leave my host mom, Daisy, because I feel like we had grown quite close over the three weeks we spent together.  I have her phone number and intend to keep in contact with her, and she wants to keep in contact with me.  I am also friends with her son and daughter on facebook, so keeping in touch should not be a problem.  She gave me a photo of herself before I left, so I will always be able to remember her.  I do intend to return to Jarabacoa, and I hope I can come back in the summer of next year for a week or two.
