SERIOUSLY???
How are we going to get ALL of this home!Today is a very bittersweet day…. It seems just like yesterday we sailed out of San Francisco Bay aboard the S.S. Scurvy, and all too soon we are setting sail back to America. How can one explain the experiences we have encountered over the past 40 days? Not possible. As always on these extended trips we take, we realize what we write for our friends and family are just a compilation of thoughts and memories, but in no way can even come close to the feelings we have in our souls as we remember all of the beautiful places, friendly people and exciting cultural exchanges this tremendous opportunity has afforded us. As we close out this final post to our blog, we leave you with this: “NEVER go to your grave thinking at the last minute, ‘Wow, I sure wish I had gone someplace to enrich my life!”
Fair winds and warm skies to all!
