To my friends,
I would like to apologize in advance for returning to you empty handed. I have searched every town for souvenirs to bring to you but have found nothing fitting, or packable AND fitting, to express what I treasure most here and think you would treasure equally. I wish I could bottle the air for you to breath, harness the wind for you to feel in your hair, box the sunrises to wake you each day. I can´t find these in the local shops. Lots of lapiz, copper and silver, cute t-shirts and itchy woolen things, stickers and posters and mate gourds and silver straws which while lovely, I don´t feel mean much. The wine is worth bringing but not at all packable. I wish I could carry 10 lbs of beef like Katie and Doug but I don´t think I would ever get out of customs. Please don´t believe I don´t think of you, I am always thinking of you. I promise you this, I will leave a part of me here so that we can visit together, or you on your own, sometime in the future.
Emily
