Friday, November 16, 2012. I said goodbye to Chipillico. As I write this blog I am literally sitting on the bus watching the city of Piura fade around me as I am heading to Lima, which means that in a few days I will no longer be a Peace Corps volunteer. That is such a weird thing for me to say. There are not enough words to describe my emotions on saying goodbye to these two years. I can start with retracing these past few months from the last blog I wrote.
