Another brilliant photo by Kim, the sky seemed imposing though elegant as we had to say goodbye to our friends for the next two, some even three weeks - half of us would be going to Penas Blancas, while the other half would be sticking around to start their independent research projects.

It doesn’t seem like much at all, and yet this farewell already seems to hurt - perhaps because it portends the end of this entire experience altogether, something none of us even want to start thinking about.

Before we left, we had one last huzzah dance party in the classroom to none other than the anthem of this trip, Stereolove.
