By far the hardest part of moving is saying good-bye to family and friends. We are thankful we were able to see most people before we left. Some good-byes were quite clever with Saudi Survival Kits containing items that produced huge laughs; burkinis, fabric & patterns for making an abaya. Our neighbors to the left (both politically and location) acquainted us with our first Iftar; the evening meal eaten after sunset during Ramadan. Other kind neighbors had the last farewell as we left Bellingham; kind words were painted on a poster, which was hung over our garage the morning of our departure.
