Goodbye Rudkøebing - Saturday

It was yet another emotional day preparing to leave our lovely host families in Rudkøebing.  We started the day with breakfast at our houses as well as doing individual activities with our host families such as relaxing, shopping, hanging out at the beach, and packing.
With my family, I went shopping in Svendburg, went on a horse drawn carriage ride (it totally felt like home) and had a delicious lunch.  Then I went home and packed my belongings and prepared to meet the group at 4PM to head to Odense.
We all said farewell to the wonderful people we met on the islands and loaded up to head to Odense (with one car totally full of luggage). 
After a short 45 minute drive through dreary weather we went to Birthe's house and met her family.  We were able to relax and rest before dinner.  She made an incredible dinner for us that included ham, baked potatoes, salad, soup, bread, chili nachos (with homemade guacamole that her daughter made), desserts (several of them which were all yummy), and much more.  It was delightful!  We sat around and shared stories with them and got to know a little bit about the town.
Afterwards we departed and dropped Megan and Jenni off at a Hostel for the evening.  Melissa, Amanda, Krystal, Warren and I all came to Ida's house for the night.
