Farewells and transition states are always a little bit sad. They're also a little bit beautiful... Oh I don't know. Yesterday Gabe and I abandoned the our papers to make sand sculptures of a gate, the Taj Mahal, a pyramid, a stupa, a swordfish with a ladder, and 1/2 of an ant. Then we alien bombed them with globs of sand and ran into the warm waters of the Indian ocean.
Tomorrow we fly.
