mi hermana no esta aqui

This morning heralded the re-commencement of my sister's globetrotting.

She would not allow anyone to act sadly toward her, as she was garnering up as much courage as she could muster. Of course her bags were not completely packed or her goodbyes quieted and complete. She managed to make herself quite ill with a sour stomach, which is classic. The woman who loves to meet new people, see the world, and have adventures, loathes above most things to travel. This point of irony is never far from her ears, as everyone has noticed the fact.

Still, she will be in Afrika tomorrow, bless her, to remain a year's time as a student. Bon voyage, mon ami!
