Farewell Events

Only hours to go now before we head to Africa.

While we are away Cheryl departs for six months study in China, so we shared with some of her friends as she updated them on her plans for this time. She plans to study for six months, improving her Mandarin so she can communicate more effectively in a land that she loves.

It was good to share with others who have been part of her journey, and ours as well.



Following the afternoon event we had a meal at one of Cheryl's favourite restaurants - one that makes 'real' Chinese dishes. A good night, a good meal, and good to be with family and a few friends. The 'Black Fungus and egg dish' was great, and the noodles were huge.

As always it was good to spend some time with family - probably the last time we will all be together until sometime in 2010. We are going to miss the 'normal' family interactions for the next few months at least.
