Alvida North Carolina

This is my final blog during the month long GSE trip. Tomorrow we proceed to New York and then catch the return flight on Friday night. I dont think i will get a chance to blog in NYC. You see its more important to check out times square, ground zero, statue of liberty than blogging.

Today morning we went to Ashboro zoo which is the biggest natural habitat zoo in NC. In the evening we attended the farewell dinner. DG Charles could not atend as his mother is ill. We convey our best wishes and pray for speedy recoveryof DG's mother. In the dinner PDG Phil was there., so was coming DG Mike. And there was Ann. And everybody from Ashboro. It was fun and it was sombre. It felt great to be with them for a month and we felt sad to leave them. Wonderful rotarians like Rob Recce, Kemp, Jackie, Milners, Dr. Ranbir and others who needs no mention. There was exchange of final gifts and the rotary team pledged to go for return visit in India soon. We will be expecting Ann, Ashley and Bill soon.

Steve Wirtz and Tanaa meets us in Greensboro tomorrow which will be preceeded by a Punjabi lunch to be hosted by who else but a Shikh. Looking forward for it till we board from Greensboro.

Thanx for bearing with us for over a month. I pledge to plaster this blog with photos once we r back as photos were a rarity so far due to tech constraint.
