Dear Obiwan,

It has been 5 years since the last time I wrote to you via this travel blog. So much has changed, the most significant change is…well…you died. Almost one year ago Obi, you FRICKEN DIED.

It was so sudden and traumatic. We tried to save you and you fought so hard! It almost looked like you were going to be one of the ONLY FEW cats in history to survive saddle thrombus! But…you didn’t make it.

This time I don’t write to you from South America, but from Central America. This time I am not traveling from country to country but LIVING in one!

I am reviving this blog to continue sharing with you my adventures and document moving to another country! My hope was to have a video vlog every few days or something, but I am two months behind and want to catch you up. But I will share pictures and videos here too.

It might be odd but I am going to continue writing to you beyond the grave, or, writing to you in the Jedi afterlife universe. A few months ago, my dad suggested I revive this blog when I was trying to think about how to document this next part of my life, but I wasn’t ready then. I am ready now, which in retrospect is quite profound. I was so loss without you, you were my soul mate and were supposed to be the first cat to be immortal or live till 22, that was our pact… But life does not always work out the way we imagine it. However, some things we imagine do come true. And the whole time you were in my life, you know I dreamt of living by an ocean and living outside of the states and as of September 1^st, this dream has come true!

The next entry I will tell you about my first few days in Playas del Coco, Costa Rica.

Goodnight my lamb,

Love you, Tú Madre,

Carly
