Emmanuel's Visit Day 10: Winter: Day After Christmas

Today Emmanuel had to leave again.  I was very sad, because after this I wouldn't be see him unless he had business in California, but I was planning on visiting him in Ghana.  He had to pack up his things and say goodbye to everyone, because just my dad and I would be taking him to the airport.  The parting scene here was very similar to the one in New York, but it was much sadder, because they probably wouldn't be seeing Emmanuel in a very long.  My dad, Emmanuel and I decided to go to the beach one more time before Emmanuel left.  We went to Goleta beach, but we didn't get wet, because Emmanuel had to leave on a plane back to Ghana very soon.  We stood with our feet in the water for a while, then it was time to go to the airport.  We said our sad goodbyes to Emmanuel and promised that we would see each other soon some way or the other.  Once again we watched him depart until we couldn't see him anymore.  I was very sad, because we had, had so many good times together and I didn't want them to be over so soon.  However I knew that this wasn't the last that we would be seeing of each other.
