It is never easy to say goodbye...

Graduation has come and gone and on Tuesday I am moving out of Rotterdam.  I will be on my way to Italy on Wednesday for a three week vacation with my good friend Nancy.  Friday was graduation, with a party on a boat and we got to see Rotterdam at night, took lots of pictures, had lots of food and drink. But first graduation:

This is my class - all of the students in my specialty which was "Strategic Urban Planning and Policy". Ester was back in Namibia, so she is up on the screen.

More importantly were my friends and classmates.  I will miss them.

Ciyin, China: Marina, Egypt; Karen, Lebanon; Sulastri, Indonesia; Nora, Russia

Dina, Egypt

Beti, Ethiopia

Yasmine & Marina, Egypt

Alicia (with husband Tim), USA

Maya, Lebanon

                                                

And last but certainly NOT least, Adrian from Mexico

Last night was another celebration with my friends from the museum group - all will be missed.

Tot ziens Rotterdam!
