Well, I didn't quite cry all the way home ... but almost! We had a wonderful good-bye dinner with our "host family" - that is, the family of one of my colleagues at KTH, who were instrumental in our adjustment to and enjoyment of Stockholm. Aaric was there to meet and entertain their three children and, in spite of the age differences, they had a great time together! It was wonderful to get to know all of them better, and spend the evening comparing Sweden and Canada, from income tax to crime stats!
It is not hard to tell I am back in the craziness that is my life here in Okotoks. No time to blog, or call important friends and relatives (sister, brother, Janice, etc. - you know who you are!). Work is particularly burdensome, as the economic challenges have had a serious impact on education - we are struggling to do all we believe we have always done/should do with fewer and fewer resources.
Last pictures from Sweden coming soon but camera is MIA ;-(. I'm sure it is in the post-trip clutter here somewhere.
Hope you are all rested and well.
Blessings,
TPP
