It’s time for the greetings, it’s time to say goodbye.
This morning we had to leave the city of Navalmoral de la Mata and share our last hugs with our new friends of the project.
It’s been a quite short but intense experience, which gave us the time to get out from our comfort zone and our routine to take a new breath, to try some fresh air.

And as we think about these days while walking through the streets and walls of Toledo, which is hosting us for this final day, we can find the time for a final “recollection in tranquillity”, as Wordsworth would have said: a moment to go deep down in our thoughts and try to gain the best from all we have lived in this experience.
Exactly like Toledo, this trip has been a unique mixture of cultures: as the old spanish capital has been living under the roman, visigote, ebraic, arabic and finally spanish and european influence, we created a strong synthesis of the spanish, greek, romanian, polish, turkish and italian culture.
The real difference between the history of Toledo and ours is that this mixture has been possible without conflicts, in an enviroment of fully interested and heart-warming way of share our experiences and feelings.

Because, in these days more than any others, we have understood that nothing has to be taken for granted, that every enrichment has to be deserved and fully lived, because these opportunities do not come every day, they are nothing less than unique in a lifetime.
So, in the end, the only thing we can do is to greet Toledo too, leaving at our back this wave of emotions to have a renewed view of the world in our future.
A world where we can feel fully supported and enhanced thanks to the European Community, because although leaving our new friends can hurt so much, we have been enlarging views, we have been enriching lives.
