Ah wow, your message hit me right in the heart. I’m still so emotional about that place — your words brought it all flooding back. I know I’ll make it back there someday. Wishing you the most amazing time out there, and thank you for reading and carrying the story with you — that means everything. If you do happen to bump into any of the guys, please give them my love and tell them I miss them.

This story really tugged at me. Maybe we are naive and the overwhelming warmth and friendliness of the people in Pouheva serves to confirm this. I kept an eye out for Rainui today but no sign. I think I saw uncle Dave sitting with friends in their front yard with music playing and good vibes.
