One more day

Elisabet woke up this morning and snuggled in my lap at the table asking "why is this our last day in Minnesota?"  It's difficult to know if she grasps the actual magnitude of our move.  It's been an exhausting but productive day and we have our 10 bags sitting in the living room, waiting for just a few last minute items.  We have carefully weighed each one to make sure we do not go over the allowed 23 kg.  It is no easy task to pack for 5 people for one year..... we have tried to simplify and take only the necessities.  When we arrive in Zürich, we will have to finish furnishing the apartment.  It sounds like the University has provided us with a few things to start:  air mattresses, sleeping bags, and some dishes and miscellaneous kitchen items.  All part of the adventure!
