Oh no, can it already be time to go? We have seen close to 24 projects in the past five days, had many events and meetings, rejoined old friends and made new ones. Seen many sights, laughed, wiped away a few tears and most importantly have seen what the Rotarians are doing in their community and learned what we can do to help.
So we exchanged a few gifts, gave thanks and hoped some of our new found friends might go to Guadalajara for the second part of the festival.
Then there was one more surprise. Our friends gave each club attending a momento award. It features Rotary's Four Way Test. How sweet and thoughtful. Here is Bea Moulton from Middletown accepting award from the daughter of one of the local Rotarians, dressed in a local indigenous costume.
Barbara Barney from Sebastopol Sunrise models the gift basket and award given her club.We packed our suitcases and were on the bus within 1 hour after the breakfast. Nothing much to report about the trip - nice countryside, comfortable travel. We are gone to Guadalajara, capital of Jalisco. It is huge, urbane and a wonderful place to serve as the base for the "Full Festival".
