My Visit With Mirvate: Final Days

I couldn't believe it when I woke up this morning, we only had two days left on our trip! "Time has gone by so fast," I thought as I put my jacket on. Luckily, we might be able to do something on the last day of our trip, as our flight didn't leave until later in the day. Mirvate greeted us this morning with a cheese knefe, which is like a pancake that is filled with gooey cheese. It was delicious, and I had a feeling it would fill me up until our next meal of the day.

Today we decided to go big, since it was our last day together. We decided to go to (I know, this is very American of us) Waves Waterpark. I had looked them up on the internet, and they had tons of long and fun looking slides, so after lots of begging from me my family decided that we could go. We packed up our swim gear and headed off to the waterpark.

When we got there, we nearly had the place to ourselves, but we had a feeling that it would become more crowded as time went by. We knew the crowds were going to show up, so we hit the waterslides hard. Mirvate was a little scared to go on her first ride, but after that she was laughing alone with the rest of us. She was a maniac! She would do 180s, she would go down backwards, just watching her made us have more fun. After a while of riding, we decided to take a little break and have our picnic lunch that we prepared, but none of us were done with the slides just yet.

After lunch, we looked at the time and saw that it was already 2:00! Since it was a three hour drive back to Mirvate's house, we had to power for a few more hours and then we had to throw in the towel. Since there were six different slides, we could have stayed the whole next day, but before we knew it, we had to get back in our rental car and make the long journey back to Mirvate's house.

When we got back, we ate our dinner in silence. I suppose the meal was good, but I couldn't really taste it. All I was thinking about is that we had to leave the next day early in the morning. We had been avoiding thinking about this for days, but there was no mo denying it. It was our last night together. We all said our good nights and headed off to bed, with visions of our departure dancing in our heads.

The next morning, we woke up and solemnly started to pack our bags. There was a deep sadness building up inside me, this was started to be like a second home to me. I was getting so used to the delicious cuisine and scenery that going back home was starting to seem like a vacation itself. I was dreading having to say goodbye to Mirvate, she had been so good to use and so excited to see us, but our bags were packed and we were cramming them into the car.

We spent the car ride recapping the best parts of the trip. My favorite was the initial look on Mirvate's face when she recognized us. My dads favorite, no surprise, were the epic water slides that we went on the day before. Also not surprisingly, the water slides were also Mirvate's favorite part of our journey. Also, we watched the sun rise over the horizon, casting a peachy pink glow over the surrounding mountains.

Finally we had to say goodbye to Mirvate as we were walking through customs. We all kept our composures, but inside we all had a gaping hole. We promised to keep in touch, and then we turned our heads, and left Mirvate standing alone in the terminal.
