Wherever I Am

On the last night of August, two nights before the flight, Sarah and Julian keep their promise on the hill above the city, and then everyone Sarah knows comes to a goodbye party at Two Mountains. Give a farewell speech - I'll never forget what you did for me, thanks to you, wherever I am - thank each friend one by one, answer the toasts and the presents, keep a friend's big secret, and say it's not goodbye, it's see you later.

Valeria and Diego have come all the way from Mexico City, and Valeria has news. Camila taps a glass with a spoon. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
