Day 356 – A quick visit with Kevin and his family

My original plan, and the reason why I ceased being a Peace Corps volunteer over a week ago even though I’m not going home until tomorrow, was to be in Honduras all last week. My dad is the director of a Christian school in Syracuse, NY, and he and a group of Spanish students were supposed to be traveling to Honduras to work at a children’s hospital on the eastern coast. I was to meet them there, then travel to El Salvador with my dad while the team went back to Syracuse. He and I would have spent a day in San Salvador, and a day with my host family in San Vicente before going back.
Given the current situation in Honduras, however, my dad and the other trip organizers decided last week to cancel the trip. As a result, I had an extra week to spend in Torola, for which I was tremendously grateful. I felt that I was able to really say “goodbye” the way I needed to.
Today, even though my dad’s not with me, I’m in San Vicente with the family that I lived with for three months during training. I arrived last night in time for dinner, and I’ll be taking off today after lunch to go back to San Salvador and get my bags ready for my flight tomorrow. I scheduled the trip this way so that I could share three meals—dinner, breakfast, and lunch—with the family, my host mom being an excellent cook. Kevin, her grandson, is eight years old now, which means that he goes to school in the afternoons instead of the mornings. When he got home from school yesterday, I gave him a couple of toys, and we’ve been hanging out and playing together ever since. He likes to play with marbles, torment the dogs, parrots, cats, and ducks that live in the compound, play soccer, and tell jokes, so that’s what we’ve spent most of our time doing.
Leaving Josué and Marleni behind on Monday was difficult, but saying goodbye to Emma, Priscilla, and Kevin will be a lot easier, as I only lived with them for three months, as opposed to two years. This visit with them helps to make the transition a little bit easier.
