Day 365/365 "the very last picture of a YEARS WORTH"

365/365
November 30,2010--365/365
365 days ago I started this project not knowing if I would ever finish it and here we are on day 365 out of 365.
A year has went by really fast & within the year a lot of good & bad things has happened. But I am glad to say while finishing the project it was very bitter sweet for me, but I got to finish it in Barranquilla colombia (south america).
I wanted today to represent the very first picture that I took that was with my friends In canada that night we gather together to watch "the hills season 5" As I wanted the picture to be related to the very first picture I took I also wanted it to represent Colombia, the people I've been with and the things we have done. Also having the picture be related to my day... At that here is my "Family" here in Colombia (Dan, Carlos, Me & Ale) -(at work today Ale noticed that the Men were both in Baby Blue shirts with Black pants... & us girls both in purple shirts with black pants) So after work today we went for a walk and I remembered that there was a store called "Olympica 365 days of discounts" I knew right away it had to be part of the picture it was sign. Everyday here in colombia I would find my self staring at the sign 365 and new it had to be part of the project. What better way to have today represent the VERY FIRST PICTURE (GROUP SHOT) and Also be related to the project & my day. Then having this group shot in front of the 365 sign on the 365th day of my project. After this picture we went out for dinner and just had a really nice night. I really love you guys you've made my stay here in Colombia so amazing! knowing I only have 20 Days left make my heart melt and bring tears to my eyes.
