Saying goodbye

It was very sad to say good bye to Jack and Chaagii. They had become very good friends over the course of our trip. We enjoyed sharing stories, wishes and dreams: Chaagii is hoping to go overseas to college this coming school year, to study journalism – as well as superstitions: snakes in a ger means the woman is going to get pregnant. Jack, meanwhile, is going to be heading for Washington State where he’s going to be learning English. We all hope that we’ll hear from them periodically, just so we know how our old friends are doing.
