One last G\u2019day from Down Under!<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We arise to our final Fanztastic (albeit eerily quiet) day here in Cairns, Australia with the bittersweet feelings of another transformational semester closing. Laughter is shared between Meg and Greg while sipping flat whites alongside the salty sea, largely resulting from tales of Eytan filling in awkward silences with strange verbal segues (what a thrill), Courtney loudly declaring her boredom with Buddhism in her not-so-subtle body language and endless tales (tails?) of Nelly, Liz\u2019s peculiar noises while bouncing from point A to point B, Solly confusing the gelato lady with thousands of questions and ability to make all of our tumblies-grumbly, Marisa\u2019s thought-provoking journal responses and Harry Potter quips, Baby D\u2019s business plan as a Boulder-based zorbing guide and Rosie\u2019s stunning hospital gown.<\/p>\n

What a long strange trip it\u2019s been: from the bonds made while walking about in the shadow of a 40,000 year old culture, to the deep conversations (kinda like scuba diving) had while climbing to the summit of Mt. Doom, to the tears shed while saying goodbye to our beloved host families in Vatuse.<\/p>\n

We have become quite a community, a humble tribe of global citizens who inevitably will not truly recognize the full impact of this experience until we settle into our routines back home. It was an honor to take part in this voyage with all of you, and from the bottom of our hearts, a thousand thank you\u2019s for all the smiles, the stories, and The Dreamtime. The journey does not stop now, in many ways, it only now begins\u2026<\/p>\n

Go far, stay long, see deep.<\/p>\n

In mind, body, and spirit,
\nMeg and Greg<\/p>\n
