Guest Poem by Evelyn
Waves always crash in groups against the cliff that stands alone.

475 euro just to go,
12 other people I got to know.

14 days of endless fun,
6 days of those deprived of sun.

65 litre rucksack placed on my back,
5 rover scouts just waiting to attack.

3 tents keeping us dry and warm,
14 explorers that felt like a bee swarm.

13 fires that have turned to ash,
180 pounds was my limit of my spending cash.

2 trips to the hospital when we were sick,
0 choice in dinner, we did not get to pick.

8 leaders that seemed to rule the land,
2 trips to the beach, sea and sand.

12 nights of sleeping on a sheet of foam,
1 girl who has found her second home.

475 euro just to go,
But only 2 days remain
39 people who became my second family,
And 1 million thank you’s to them as my
life will never be the same
