I know I will return.
If not to this country, than to one similar, because I have only just begun to look at the sky like it is the same.
Only begun to walk the brick-dust streets, knowing where I am going.
To smile and greet those I pass.
I learned a lot about biodiversity in this class, and about the country, some about the culture, but not much about the people.
We were constantly in motion, looking at forests, hearing lectures, working on projects. I am not sure that is how I want to interact with a country.
This time was important for me to see that, though. To explore how I want to interact, to explore. I felt as though there was a wall between the class and the culture - we did not do enough to break that wall, not until the end, and even then, it was too little too late.
But I will carry these lessons and this knowledge with me. In that, it was important time well spent.
