Good morning once again!  We’re closing in our last few moments here in England.  I think the team will agree last night’s farewell dinner resulted in a whirlwind of emotions.  We were reunited with most of our former hosts which was wonderful, but at the same time very hard to do.  Last night we shared wonderful memories, differences and “first’s.”  While I only have a quick minute before we leave to tour Tatton Park, I do want to share one thing I did not last night.  Actually it’s more accurately described as “admitting” something.  This trip has made more emotional than I have ever been in my entire life.  I think anyone that knows me will agree, I am not often emotional and come across as “cold-hearted.”  I’ve experienced so much on this trip that has made me realize it is okay to show how I feel at times.  We’ve truly grown to love our hosts, the Rotarians and most importantly–each other.  Thank you everyone here and back home for all your support!  Cheers!

Farewell Dinner.
