recap 2

I left Strasbourg.

the last day was just far far too hectic. We finished on the 11th, I left at 4 pm on the 12th.

Packing a whole house worth of things is too difficult in one day!
Also, no one was being
1) on time
2) helpful

that last day (apart from everyone at ISU - they are lovely! - thanks Audrey, Marie and Alex!)

I was late (or thats what I thought/expected!)... I was so stressed out (and you won't normally here may say this phrase) that I almost burst into tears at one point!
To make moving 40 kgs of stuff around more difficult, I had a sprained/tender shoulder, so moving about at a fast pace was extremely painful. Seeing my agony, 2 ladies who were passing by offered to help and stopped me from going into a panic with hyperventilation...

They were angels!
It was a mum and her daughter with a bike. The mum would have been about Joan's age (Lew's mum). She dragged my 2 bags for me and asked to just smile and relax and think of planning the journey ahead. After some more panic, we found the bus and I hugged both of them - could without them I would have totally lost it!

The mum later also apologized that her daughter could not help as she had a broken arm!!!

I wish I knew their real names, they were one of the best memories of strasbourg!
