Today was our last full day in Korea. Our hosts in Asan have graciously given us a free day to pack, ship packages, buy last minute souvenirs, etc. It was much needed!
Most team members slept late and attended to the many details they,'d need to complete before getting on the plane tomorrow.
Our day ended with a farewell dinner from District 3620, our Asan hosts and the District Governor. There were about 100 people there, including several of our host families from along the way and the Assistant District Governors who did much of the planning.
It was an emotional evening, with speeches and many embraces around the room. And, of course, pictures!
After the dinner, our Asan hosts invited us to coffee and then for a little beer. It was a relaxed farewell from the folks who had had the greatest difficulty with our schedule and fatigue. In the end, any hurt feelings were soothed and we parted best of friends. It was a fitting close to an unbelievable month of learning, cultural friendship and fun.
Tomorrow we catch a plane at 12:40 pm and arrive - God willing - in Richmond about 11:30 pm same day.
Much love in my last post from Korea!
