A Storybook Send Off!

What a day to have as our 'last' day on Bowen before we fly out to Accra tomorrow!

Bowfest was amazing. All three of us must have received our entire populations worth of hugs, blessings, well wishes, amazement and a few tears.

And we were glad to have not disappeared for today. Finn was in the parade (I cried! Well, I tend to do that at parades) and he was absolutely amazing. Had a major wipe out on the big hill just as they were starting out, but he focused in on his indomitable spirit, and got right backup with his Tae-Kwon-Do Troupe. They were amazing. For those of you who haven't witnessed JP on rollerskates, rousing up the crowd before citizen of the year passes by, then I assure you, you have missed a cultural phenomenon on Bowen Island!

So now is the time where I start unpacking to make sure that I packed everything. Where, instead of printing tickets and organizing my carry on I am ignoring that I have at least three hours of hard core focusing ahead of me, and that it is already 9 pm, that time is actually running a little short.

No. Instead I will finish up this note to you all, and maybe convince Michael to throw caution to the wind and join us tomorrow.

Wish me luck on the packing!
