Students Leave

Today most of the students left after they had taken their final exam and eaten lunch. They had a short closing ceremony with them and we exchanged small gifts with our prayer partners. This was something our team was not aware we were supposed to do so we gave our prayer partners chocolate. Jeff's prayer partner gave him a crystal fish dish and Sandy's prayer partners gave her an angel knick knack and a doily. They were very sweet gifts. We hope they make it home without getting broken. It is now very quiet here. A few students are staying over for the next session(s) and some will leave tomorrow or Saturday based on their departure times. For students who were traveling the Food Services team made sack lunches.

We started final clean-up today and Debra got to join Sandy & Dick in the Horse Barn. We've had fun with Duvet covers and making bunk beds. This evening the staff had a short appreciation reception for us. We have one more full day here and we depart for Salzburg bright and early Saturday morning. We will go to an authentic Austrian restaurant tomorrow night.
