7600 km, 85 hours of driving, 800 l of gas.
Ryan left back to Guelph on Sunday from LA airport to do his job interview. We did not talk much on the way to the airport or at the moment of the good bye. The last look at each other eyes, however, was a deep conversation we had not with words. When I went back to the van, it looked huge. Part of me is happy about this opportunity for him. A selfish portion of me, however, wants him to be back to complete the trip.
From the airport I went to a starbucks to use i-net. Likely Amanda was online and could talk to her, what made the moment much easier. I stayed there for a couple of hours until it was time to visit friends that lives in LA, Ignacio and Cassandra.
I get to their home and nobody was there, but they left the door open for me. The first thing I did was to have a shower. It was 3 weeks since the last, jeje. I felt a different person after it, lighter, back to normality.
Ignacio was neighbour of mine at my hometown when kids. He came here 10 years ago where he met Cassandra, his wife. They received me as family, even when we could hardly recognise each other at the first glance. We had long talks about how each of us got here and remembered things from back home.
I have been with them 3 days. During those days I had breakfast with them in the morning, biked and ride the skateboard around the city, catch up with the TV, relaxed in the coach and did laundry during the rest of the day. I felt like at home, I went back to 0 from the kind of isolation from everyday life we had so far.
Today, Nacho, my good friend and roommate for one semester in Guelph is coming from Spain . He will join me into the trip for 10 days. I am really looking forward to see him again. He is the one supposed to make the plans for the 10 days so I can not tell you were are we heading next. Knowing him, however, Las Vegas is on the list for sure.
Next blog will be written in Spanish.
Un abrazo grande,
Diego
