It's so Good to Hear Your Voice!

My friend Genevi and I shared the kitchen area between our rooms while in Kona throughout DTS. Though we didn't spend a lot of time together originally, we found out that we also shared a common disliking of beaches/sand (why are we in Hawaii again?!?) and slowly, we just started hanging out more and more. In Panama, she was 1 of my 15 roommates and we just clicked, which may be a bit unusual because of the fact that she is almost a decade younger than than I am. We did start the Track together and again she was one of my roommates, but this time there were only 4 of us in the room (and by Christmas, only 1 of the 4 of us remained). She left at the end of October, heading to India. We tried to Skype (she missed our Skype date because of flat tire on her bicycle) but were not able to connect until yesterday. Despite the pixelated video and the sound occasionally cutting in and out, it was just so wonderful to be able to catch again. We even talked about the fact, that even though there are hard experiences in life, it's the great people that you meet along the way that make it all worth while. So thanks for the Skype date Genevi - it was so good to hear your voice and (kind of) see you! Thank you for your continued friendship that goes beyond the miles!
