Saturday did not go quite as smoothly as we had planned. Annie was supposed to arrive at Newark from Los Angeles an hour after our flight from Paris, except that her flight was delayed three hours. This pushed everything back and we didn't get home until 11:30 that night. But we are home and that's all that matters. I don't know how Gord stayed awake to drive the rental car to Saratoga, but he did.

I feel grateful for the past four and a half months, and to have had the opportunity to see so much. Here is my list.

Update: Our box of clothes arrived yesterday. The delay was not due to the tea after all. The agricultural hold by the U.S. Department of Agriculture was apparently because of my shoes, I think. They found a contaminant in the shipment, and the shipment either had to be treated, re-exported, or destroyed. Fortunately, they opted to treat it and then release it for delivery. I guess London's streets are not very clean. What a surprise.
