When I woke up this morning I was filled with sadness and
anxiety. I knew that if I got out of bed I would have to leave Rhodos. Throughout
the five days that I spent in Rhodos I made friends with the waiters, front
desk people, Paulo & Pina and Kodak Man. Everyone meal that we had in the
hotel, the waiters Ernesto and Ilias greeted me. We made jokes and they also
taught me how to speak many new phrases in Greek.
As I was eating breakfast, Ernesto and Ilias both visited my
table one to many times. They kept repeating that today was bad, bad, bad. They
were going to miss us dearly. I
grew very fond of the kind-hearted people in Rhodos, some have touched my heart
forever.
I could say that Rhodos and I have a bad romance. I fell in
love with the island and its people but in the back of my mind I knew I had to
leave. Its like falling in love with a married man, even though you know you
cannot have him you ended up falling in love anyways.
Luckily, I know that I will come back to Rhodos someday
because it now holds a spot dear to my heart. As I said goodbye today, tears
ran down my face and I finally realize that I have fallen for a bad romance.
S’agapo,
Alex
