Bye Bye Buenos

Leggi in italiano

I cannot believe time has gone so fast. After the various problems I’ve had, BA has been trying to seduce me over the last few days, with very pleasant weather and a nearly empty city for the Easter holidays.

But inside, I know it is time to go.

We had a last hurrah in Uruguay a couple of weeks ago: 4 days of relax, beach, swimming pool and reading which were much needed (and bookended by a long boat and coach trip to get there and back, but I managed to not to get car sick. Result!). Work has kept me so busy that I haven’t even been able to do any last minute sightseeing or shopping…

But this is how I am. As I approach a departure, my brain gets into higher and higher gear, speeding so fast beyond the present that I am already several steps ahead. So in a way I’ve already left BA. Now I just need to suffer through the 13.5 hour flight.

The saddest thing will be leaving J. She has been so amazing. She was wonderfully supportive as I began this new phase of my life, and it was so good to have such a great person near me as I did. I am sad because I know she is now one of those friends who live far away from me and that I’ll get to see only occasionally. But it makes me happy to have this friendship. After all, this is what I’ve been doing all my life: full friendship immersion.

Plans for the next few months are taking shape, and I am excited. But I am also very happy to be seeing my dear London friends too, and some interesting and thrilling things will be happening while I am in London. Watch this space to find out what these are! Hasta la vista!

 

Things I’ll be missing: our “Angel Heart” elevator; the lovely people I’ve met here; cheap and good meat; being able to take taxis everywhere

I’m looking forward to: London weather (not!), technology, Anderson breakfast, Peckham, friends, people who know how to queue
