This weekend we had a goodbye party 
at our guesthouse for two of our members. It was a happy party but it was also sad to see our friends go. One woman was from England and only lived here for a short time but, we quickly became good friends with her. There were many days talking about our favorite show One Piece. The other woman was Japanese but is moving to New York again, to continue her singing career. She lived here for a few months and we alsobecame good friends. There was a BBQ 
as part of the celebration, and also a live music show in our small courtyard. It was performed by two guesthouse members and a music partner. Of course the woman who is moving to New York did the singing 
and it was great
They will both be greatly missed but I feel lucky to have
known them, even if only for a little while.
