Veloma

There is no ceremonious way to say goodbye.  It's awkward, and never as meaningful as you'd like it to be.  We end up making jokes, or saying something stupid or mildly inappropriate, and the moment is lost.

But it just reminds you that it's not forever.  It's not even that long a time?  Down the line, we'll make so many more moments that one lost one is not a big deal in the long run.

So, later, fools, we'll see each other again.

Umm, it's probably best to send CD mixes through snail mail!

Hi. I would like to learn more about the Malagasy culture in terms of culture. Do you know people at the Peace Corps stationed there who can help me with that. Thanks (tsutherl@bates.edu)

It's funny, when I read this I thought you were talking about leaving Madagascar... not home. I guess I just experienced a lot of those same feelings. Miss you sipa.
