The last day ...

The last day.

One month flew by and so many feelings. A lot of gratitude to all the friends I've met here Silvie, Patrick, Jutta, Judy, Warren, Sara Jane, Rob, and especially my teacher these last two weeks Ana Sofia Castella one of, if not the best, teachers I've ever had.

Montevideo is an enigma in a way. The local people are unusually kind, at least have been to me, very easy to know, and yetbthe city is in so much need. There are a great many homeless and the streets are cluttered with litter, which makes the experience so mixed.

I will take away a lot personally. I want to have this experience again, soon, and I'm thinking Cusco, Peru.

Today's final lesson Sofia concluded with a song from Jorge Derxler, Uruguayan songwriter and performer, with Emmys, an Oscar, and other awards and accolades (super interesting life). The song was Todo se Transforma and the chorus ends with

Cada uno da lo que recibe

Y luego recibe lo que da

Nada es más simple

No hay otra norma

Nada se pierde

Todo se transforma

Translation

Everyone gives what they receive

And then they receive what they give

Nothing is simpler

There is no other rule

Nothing is lost
