Homeward Bound

Last morning in this special place called Cancun where we have just completed the pilot for Health Services abroad. We decided to treat ourselves to breakfast at Los Biscuits Restaurant: pancakes, crepes, omelets, huevos rancheros, and the yummiest freshly baked pastries ever!! We rushed back to the Hotel Las Margaritas just in time to hurriedly throw our luggage in the vans and rush out to the airport. We had some drama when our wonderful bottles of Yucatan honey did not make it through customs...sigh! They had changed the amount of milliliters of liquid you could take on the plane..sigh.

Today is my birthday so I have been happily surprised all day long. "Happy birthday" in the restaurant for breakfast and the pilot before departure in Cancun even had a word or two to say! We are a united group for we have had the immense pleasure of sharing an unimaginable experience in which we were challenged to work hard, to learn about ourselves, to appreciate two different cultures (Mexican & Mayan), and to leave a place knowing that our efforts really did make a difference. We are proud and appreciative for the opportunity to be of service to others. Thank you, Friends University, for giving us this magical moment. 

Here we are in Denver awaiting our flight to Wichita while I am blogging.



End of a beautiful day and an unforgettable experience.
