Goodbye Lucy

It is raining, raining, raining today. A fitting way to end our time in Shell--June is a rainy month. The 20-year average is 22.8" of rain for June. This afternoon I'm going to drive Lucy out to the Fatima animal preserve and say goodbye to her. Will be a sad day for me, and her too. Yesterday we had out final little yard sale and sold or gave away the last of our stuff. Now we're ready to start packing suitcases.

Dustin was at camp this week, and now he and six other Shell MKs are heading down from Quito on the bus. I think now that his week at camp is over, and our selling and getting rid of stuff is done, we'll all just be ready to leave. But, we'll have one more week left. Actually, it will be a nice buffer for us, giving us time to say goodbye to Ecuadorian friends, and not rush out of here in a crazy fashion. I've got a few things I want to wrap up at work, and that'll take me through next Wednesday. Well, that is unless something unexpected comes up.
