We're heading back to the southern hemisphere when we fly to Buenos Aires early Wednesday. It's going to be a great couple of weeks - we'll get a bit of cleansing summer heat, and the chance to paseo through elegant city streets at midnight with warm breezes on bare arms. We'll get some great Italian food, at a leisurely pace, and excellent coffee. I'll get a break from 9am lectures and grappling with the French subjonctif! And busy events schedule aside, it's going to be a relaxing time, quite a contrast to our usual independent travelling mode. No planning required to get from the airport, no walking around under the weight of a backpack, negotiating a good price at a cheap hotel in an unknown language... we're being spoon-fed and seeing how the other half lives. This time, we're travelling American-style!
We make preparations to leave with a heavy heart, as it's nearly time to say goodbye to some of the international fellows. Semiha and Sedat are heading home to Turkey after Buenos Aires, and we'll say adiós to Luis there. BBC Steve and his spouse Sarah won't be making the trip to Argentina at all, so we have to farewell them now. Everybody is sad to lose a new friend, and because we know that soon it will be us having to go back to the real world. Having to leave Camelot.
