Saying good-bye

We can’t help feeling a little sad as we prepare to leave Switzerland and fly back to California.

It was really, really great to have an extra-long visit after not being here for so many years, but no matter how long we stay, it’s still hard to say good-bye.

This brief video captures our last cappuccinos, accompanied by birdsong and church bells.

And how perfect that it ends with a completely unplanned but totally serendipitous ARRIVEDERCI.

It’s almost time

It’s almost time to say our good-byes; almost time to fly home to California in order to return to “regular” life.

It’s always hard to leave our Lugano family and dear friends, despite the fact that we’re going back to be with other family and dear friends! In fact, we are extremely fortunate in that wherever we go there are people we love, and who love us in return.

We’re sad, but we know in our hearts that — truly — there’s nothing to be sad about: we’re carrying all the people we love with us in our hearts, wherever we go.
