Algeria- Day4

Well day 4 was made up of waking up in the morning feeling very sad that it was my day of departure.... we got up, rushed around, and left for the Hammam ... see blog post for more on this. After the Hammam we got back to the house, changed, and I had to say my goodbyes. Oh what a sad sad experience..... Even though I had just met this family 3 days prior, they really really touched my heart in such an incredible way. I went around the room and did the 4 kisses (4 in Algeria, 2 in Paris, 3 in the south of France) and started crying a bit... I don't know what got over me. Well....the problem is that it is so difficult becoming close with people when they live SO far away... I felt that sadness when I left South Africa in 2007... I made so many deep connections that it was SOOOOOooooOOooo hard to leave. I still think about people that have touched my life... and those in Algeria have really left an imprint. Thank you do my uncle Djell for introducing me to the Country, his family, the community, and the love that Algeria has... I will never forget my time there and look forward to returning again in the future.... insha-Allah.
