The Best Travel Companion
“ Giacomo” Graphite on Paper
Yesterday I dropped Giacomo off at the Cartagena AIrport, and in about 15 minutes (21 hours and 3 planes later) he will be arriving in Seattle. I kind of choked up when he left.
I joke that Giacomo is my role model, but it’s not really a joke. He is one of the most cool headed, intelligent, relaxed, loving, with a keen sense of humor, comfortable in his own skin, genuine, not prone to fads or peer pressure people that I know. In other words, he is an awesome travel companion, and I feel so blessed to be have been able to spend this time with him on the cusp of college and him flying the coop.
We have had three amazing weeks discovering a new part of the world together. The last time I was in Mexico City was when I was 4, and we had both never been to Colombia. The mutual discovery of exploring a part of the world that is not usually in the Moody orbit was profound. It will have ramifications in both of our futures.
