The last week in Harbin was a whirlwind of lunches and dinners saying goodbyes to departing friends. It culminated on Friday night when we introduced the concept of "pot luck" to our Chinese friends. We feasted KFC, delicous quiches, pizza, rice balls and thanks to Tom and Aileen, fresh grilled hamburgers. Lots of food, beer and laughs
Saturday was departure day and a sad day for us. The younguns have been a wonderful part of our life for the last year and we are taking away some great memories. Takae, the daughter we never had. Branson, the rogue son who's antics both thrilled and dismayed us. Brian the enigma with the dryest sense of humour (That's humor for Brian) this side of the Gobi. Tom, our quiet son with a lot to say. Edoardo, our long lost Italian son who shepherded Nonie safely around Harbin and always made us feel special.
A big thanks to our friends Justin and Janie, who helped us in so many ways. We so enjoyed sharing our traditions with them, we will miss their smiles and thier friendship.
Many things went unsaid Saturday morning but were expressed in the fierce hugs we gave each other. We look forward to the future and the opportunity to meet them all again.
Our newest adventures began when we entered the car for the aiport.
