Sadly, our time has come to an end. Tim and Latania have been so hospitable and generous that it makes a person feel indebted. We had a last meal at the house and they invited some friends over. I wish all these people we’ve met and all our friends and family at home can merge together. Meeting new people has enhanced this trip so much that we didn’t want it to end.
Latania made a huge, delicious dinner and a dessert for like 20 people. Had excellent wine. Everyone here is such a blast and has such a good sense of humor. I laughed so much. It was a Wednesday night and people just came over to eat, drink, play darts and laugh till 2am. Sounds like home, eh? It felt that way. Minus everyone talking funny and using old-fashioned terms like “I reckon” or made up ones like “knackered”. They have a passion for football (soccer) that I appreciate, that also feels like home. They sing loudly with no music and dance freely to loud music. They tease, tell stories, are crude, generously give, continue to fill your glass and fill your tummy while having a deep love for the truth. Guess we’re not so different after all.
