A run down of our last week here:
Friday: Epic BBQ/dance party hosted by Diego & Chris.
Saturday: Lovely dinner with Ian & Elanor at their place; Brown Curlyheads beat Gingers at Auction 45, but there will be a rematch (watch out B & E)!
Sunday: Kasia’s birthday party, last session of Growing Married.
Monday: We begin to worry that Mt. Grimsvotn might ruin our plans to fly home on the 27th.
Tuesday: Brendan writes his last exam; last Marshall Extravaganza at our place.
Wednesday: Packing & cleaning; frequent checking of flight status as the ash cloud travels south.
Thursday: More packing & cleaning, last walk around town, goodbye visits from friends. So far so good in terms of flight schedule: we’ll be waking up at 4am tomorrow morning to make it to Edinburgh for our 6:30 flight.
It’s hard to put into words what the time here has meant to us. I’ll save the deeper reflection for another moment, as we still have a few things to pack and must get ourselves to bed shortly. For now, we say farewell to Stirling and to all those who have made our stay here so memorable. You have enriched our lives immensely and we will miss you. We hope our paths will cross again.
To those waiting for us back home: we can’t wait to see you again and look forward to sharing with you the next chapter of our adventures!
