Goodbye.

Leaving our two-time home Port on Verde [Green Gate] on Calle el Rio,  probably for the last time.

An unusual plant blossom. Anybody know what this is?  Alana was photographing all week long; this is for her.

Good-bye Flemings. That's their shuttle off in the distance driving away [I'm really slow on the uptake getting my camera out]. Alana was hanging out the window waving good-bye until they disappeared. We will [do] miss them immensely.  They were a great help and comfort, our last link with home. Their departure makes our move that much more real and permanent.

Lydia will in particular miss Alana; they were best buds. Lydia called her "Balana", and that name stuck somewhat throughout the visit.

John and Alana allowed us 4 extra check-in bags on the flight down. We used their shuttle to Guatemala City airport as a transport for moving our bags to our new home the morning they left. At least they got to see our new digs before leaving.

Thank you, friends.
