Adventures in Deutschland: Day 54 - Good-bye, Auf Wiedersehen, and Tchuess!

This morning Todd went to class for the last time. Therese and I spent the morning tying up some loose ends - confirming bed and breakfasts in Ireland, packing up toiletries, cleaning out our cabinets. We walked down to meet Todd for lunch for the last time, eating at our favorite yufka place and then stopping by Fernando's for ice cream. We said good-bye to a lot of our (Therese's) favorite landmarks and other favorite German things (see pics below). We went to Il Cavalino for dinner tonight for our favorite freshly made gnocchi and then that's kind of it. It still hasn't hit me that it is our last day here. Hopefully we'll go to sleep early tonight. Therese is currently crying because she wants to fold up her Pack-and-Play. She's afraid we'll leave it in Germany.

The man who runs our place is coming over at 8:50 to check us out of our room and we have to be packed and to move some furniture back in place before he gets here. Our taxi is coming at 9:15 to drive us to the train station where we'll catch a train to the Zurich airport, then we're off to Ireland for the week. I don't know what our internet availability will be like in Ireland so this will have to be it, the end of the blog from Germany. I plan on posting some final thoughts, whether from Ireland or the States. This has been a really fun way to keep track of our great summer in Germany and to feel like I'm keeping in touch with some of our friends and families. Now if only I could keep up with Therese's blog....

Saying good-bye to the things we love:
