Dearest England,
You and I have had our ups and our downs; our highs and our lows. One minute I am basking in your green, lush countryside and the next minute the explanation of your leafy abundance is given by unrelenting rainshowers. However, through it all I leave you with my heart heavy with gratitude and sadness.
Years to come I will look back on my residence here with affection. One of my greatest treasures were the moments I had when running through your countryside and by doing so I discovered the unchartered path, the unmarked roads that I will cherish in my memory forever. The other treasure with which I will hold closely to my heart are the friends I have made while residing here.
Dearest England as you have proven your value in beauty you have also proven it with the incumbents that you securely and safely hold. Our English friends have provided me and my family with a home away from home. Although it took an unusual lofty season; we have learned that once your friendship is proven they are most devout. We have grown to love them and will miss them terribly as our next sojourn here may be a lengthy time to come.
So please accept these words as I am leaving a big piece of my heart with you. You have always been a part of who I am, but now my devotion to you is stronger than ever as I can now call you my home.
Love,
Lindsay

Wow. Beautiful country. I'm speechless. Glad to have you a little closer!
Lyns, ONe thing I truly loved about the east coast was to get lost on all the winding, magnificent roads. My wish to you is that you may find similar delightful roads in Virginia. Wanting an update...Laura
Oh the light on the last one is wonderful. Safe trip home and can't wait for an update.
I'm so jealous! Such beautiful scenery. it wouldn't be worth the space on my camera to take pics of where i run now. I so wish I hadn't taken pics of our routes in Ithaca. Drop us a line when you land.
Glad you arrived safe and well, hopefully settling in nicely. We will miss you and sorry that I didn't get to say goodbye :(
