Some friends on this trip were new ones, and some were ones I knew and missed
dearly. We had fun at the river, and riding in cars, playing hand slap
games and checkers and chess. We walked up mountains, and ate feasts and
laughed in different languages. We said hello a lot and a few sad
goodbyes, but mostly we talked and shared some good times and enjoyed how good
life is sometimes.
