Lydia’s final day in South Carolina was spent at the Richland County Public Library Book sale, Target and packing. Lydia was able to get several books and videos for very little money at the book sale, which was really great. We then spent two hours (!!) at Target so she could pick out some gifts to take home as well as some things for her. I was really sick of the store by the time we left; it will take me a while to head back into Target, which will probably be a good thing for my wallet.
Miraculously, Lydia was able to get everything into her luggage. I will have to bring some books for her this summer, but otherwise, it all fit. I said goodbye to her at the airport security. Neither one of us really wanted to say goodbye, so it is fortunate that I am heading back this summer for the IC Teacher Exchange. I will miss Lydia and witnessing her discoveries in my world. She is amazing, and I know she will continue to make a positive impact on her students and her country. With her knowledge, experience and passion, things can only get better.
