• Thursday - August 2, 2001: Kristin and I reurned our rental car. Later in the afternoon, we caught the bus down to Toombul to do some last minute shopping.
• Friday - August 3, 2001: Today is our last full day in Australia. The sadness at the thought of leaving is beginning to build. Visiting family and Australia after 31 years has had a profound effect on me. I am deeply touched by the warmth, kindness, care and love that comes from having such wonderful people as family. I am richly blessed. Tomorrow's parting will not be easy. That evening, Raeanne, Andrew, Tim, Melissa, Jenni, Eddie, Nic and Rebekah all stop over and we have a party with pizza. I have not laughed so much in long time. It was such a joy to be with them.

I am richly blessed.
