... and they're gone!

After 4 weeks and 4 days ... Matthias and Vicky are gone!  The infamous box that left them stranded with us during the month of September was finally released by customs and arrived at our place yesterday late afternoon.  After a sleepless night of finalizing their gear and packing things up, the three of them finally hit the road.  It was a great adventure to have Matthias, Vicky, and Ikaro stay with us and change out daily routine to include some fresh events: a dog, curry cooking, beer every night, and catching up - it had been 8 years since we had last seen Matthias in Germany during WC2006.  Let's see how long it will be before we visit them in Canada :-)

We wish them the best of luck on their journey through South, Central, & North America - may God keep them safe!
