An Early Ending

It's funny how things work out sometimes. As it turns out, we are headed back to Denver sooner than expected, and this may be our last post from Yap. Matt is already home, and KC is finishing up work and following soon.

We have had a wonderful experience here, and wouldn't trade it for anything. Yap is a beautiful, magical place. A place where tradition and family and communal ties are still strong. A place that hasn't given in to the all of the temptations of Western material culture. We have learned so much here about living in cultures different from our own, and even more about ourselves. We will leave something of ourselves in the islands, and we hope, in exchange, the islands will send a piece of their spirit with us. It's been a blast. Thanks for reading.
