Goodbye for Now

We made it back in one piece, as it can be said of any trip back home where all people and pieces of luggage come back in their wholeness and on time. The trip is always very long, and not exactly exciting as it takes us back to the routine of everyday life, filled with much work and responsibilities.
But I am thankful that all was fine, and that we concluded this experience in one piece and I am now able to officially close this blog. It was a pleasure to writeand force myself to reflect on what was going on everyday (or other day), so things will remain in history. Even our last long walk with my hubby along streets of Rome that are now truly inside my memory forever, we made it sure to stop and be amazed by the architecture of areas of the city that were kept as clean and as quiet as one can imagine, filled with the August heat and the occasional pedestrian, most often a tourist like us.

The kids are back most happy for their own beds in which they slept without interruption and noise their full night sleep last night. Mosquitoes welcomed us back home which was not as pleasant a return as one would have wished. But we have now stories to fill long talks around the table with the other family and friends we have here in Edmonton. I wish everyone a safe a restful summer break. Until the next one...
