Well, Korea has passed all of the last tests, packed up some of the national assets, and Fiji and America sent her off into the wild blue sunrise (It was 5am when we left headquarters...far from sunset)!
Oh the last days were good, the United Nations ended session with a bang. America and Korea went to Grand H(e)aven and walked the pier, had lunch, and had a little window shopping with the promise of a return on warmer weather (the wind was chilly).
Fiji lit a fire and cooked Lovo turkey, beef brisket, lamb, potatoes, and corn on the cob. Korea had some allies from school come over for the feast and it was nothing short of grand.
America and Fiji will greet Korea once again in the fall, where the UN sessions will again resume. Already the Headquarters feel empty as both Fiji and America miss seeing Korea pop up from behind the walls, corners, and spaces of the lower level. Korea had a way of just 'being there' because the country was quiet and America and Fiji hardly heard the pitter-patter of the feet up and down the stairs. O-so-excited for the next grand adventure with Korea!
Today, America is thankful for the opportunity to host Korea: "I know" Korea would say, "Can you pick me up?", "I have to study", and Korea talking in her funny language every few days. It was a pleasure to get to know you!!
