I noticed when we would leave a restaurant or pay at a gift shop, the attendants would always say 'Cheers' . In America we would say 'Thank You.' I am sorry it's over. It's kinda sad...hecka sad a boy once said.
So...this post is 'Cheers.' The trip is a wrap. I have been home a week and a half now and I am making good progress on my scrapbook. I hope to finish it this next week and then have our traveling companions over for Irish Stew.
It will take me a while to process my experiences in relation to my thoughts about the experience. In My Name is Asher Lev, Chaim Potok's main character identifies the beauty and benefit of travel as something in life that makes people better and more human. Travel certainly impacts my theoretical framework as I consider many aspects of the people's lives and cultures I was privileged to visit. I know that my travel time away from my normal, routine life makes me better and more kind and complete; I am thankful for the opportunity to go and see any part of the world when I have a chance.

Robyn would say "Cheers" to the bus-drivers everytime we'd exit. In my estimation, she never got the precise "accent" down, though she'd keep trying.
