Tomorrow!

I remember entering the Cathedral in Ambato, Ecuador. It was the last time I saw my friend, Griet, in Ecuador. It was time for farewell. I felt weird, a totally new feeling which I was going through. I couldn't believe that the next day we wouldn't be going out for ice-creams or taking a bus to some city or a little village in Ecuador. Our farewell wasn't a sad moment, I didn't know yet how much I would miss my friend and would we actually ever meet again. The expression on her face was similar to mine, a mysterious smile which passed me on the message 'Don't worry, we'll see soon". We had a plan to talk in Skype at least once a month. The plan sounded good, but the realization didn't turn out that well.

Now after 1 year, 4 months and exactly 1 week we will meet again. I wonder has something changed in this one year or will I have the same wonderful feeling when around her? For sure, one thing has changed, my Spanish. No accent, just a monotonous Finnish way of talking, no stress at the end of a question, no stress in any words. I'd say it sounds awful.

I'm thrilled to bits! I don't know which way I should be sitting in my chair, what to do, or where to use all this energy which I think I have (eventhough I might not have it). I hope my friend will enjoy her stay here!
