| it seems like yesterday. |
Lots of excitement at my house .......
last night my son returned from many months study overseas......
Baylor University in Texas, USA ( six months) and Jonkoping University
in Sweden (six months).
He has jam-packed a lot into his five years at University.....
in between his studies and exams for his double degree,
he's run a marathon in Texas and outrun the bulls in Spain,
skied in the French Alps and swum in the Gulf of Thailand,
dined with a Princess in Scotland and eaten pho, prawns, snakes heart in ricewine, and fried grasshoppers in Vietnam,
ridden gondolas, canoes, Fast-Trains, bamboo rafts, elephants, and a
dog-sled in the Arctic Circle,
driven a jeep across the Nullabor and a Dodge across California,
hiked the glens of Scotland and the mountains of Poland,
climbed a frozen waterfall in Sweden, and bungied from a bridge in Thailand.
He's marvelled at man's engineering of the Eiffel Tower, the dykes of Holland, the Canals of Venice and been awestruck by the Northern Lights above the arctic snow,
and now he's home!
so to all his friends around the globe who have fed him, shared a drink with him, snored, driven, run, swum, hiked, leapt and laughed with him.....
thankyou from the bottom of my heart.

and to all the warm, embracing strangers who have sold him a ticket, served him a meal, taught him at University, or generally just helped him on his way through your part of the world..... another big thankyou.
because all of you out there have helped him return a happy,
lively, healthy, curious, worldly man.
Just as I hoped and prayed. :)
Life is good!
