Grand Adventure

The boat has already about 20 people onboard and they all seem very determined to get out of here. It makes me feel a bit pressured now to become greater than what I have in mind not just because I'm the last one.

I look back once more to wave at my parents, their tears are going to make me cry. I turn back and get onto the boat and they close up after me.

When I got in, two or three nod, smiling.

Perhaps I'm a little too cheerful for the situation. I mean, they are foreigners. This type of thing is probably not such a big deal in their countries.

I lean towards the side of the boat to wave and greet my parents one last time. God knows, I'll definitely never see them again. Saying "I love you mom and dad" was never hard for me, but this will be the last time which is a bit harder. I kept waving at them until I couldn't hear their voices wishing me well anymore.

The incoming fog was a little colder than on the island, I reach in for a jacket and a better seat.

One of the crew members came over and chatted for a bit. She asked me all about the island and why I left. It baffled her as to why I would leave as she claims "it's such a lovely island full of life."

I neglected to mention that I have not even had a taste of romance, this was not just for an adventure this was also my need to experience different emotions. I mean who says something like that when there's a married woman asking you about your future plans. How lonely I must seem.

We had some warm fluids, I'm not sure if it's coffee, but it tasted like it could have hints thereof. It was awfully sweet with chocolate bits in it, some caramel and milk. This was definitely made for a sweet tooth. I dared not say I disliked it, I did not want to offend her especially since I'm not really sure how customs work outside the island.

Some people fell asleep, others were either putting lamps up to drink together. The conversations weren't heavy, but also not too superficial to feel out of place. Speaking of places, I had to ask about nearby spots. Lady Carlene even got a few maps all from different dates, I take it some places change almost every 3 or 4 years. They were so helpful and one of the other guys also explained some rules the nearby ones had.

The Wurun people do not like political people, they only believe in their leader, you may not voice against their beliefs and laws regardless of how morally wrong it seems.

The Poleados are welcoming, but only when you arrive in groups of 5 or less, they don't like large groups of people because of safety issues, they are also very discriminatory for some reason.

The Uriga Alaw Dian are a divided community they are very stern people. Everything and everyone has a place and role.

I wanted some more information, but he couldn't stick around anymore. We greeted and went our separate ways for obvious reasons. He had some officials greeting him and walking him to a vehicle.
