And so came the day when we would go home (or would we?). We had known from the beginning that we had a deadline, but had not anticipated how much we would enjoy traveling. Perhaps someday in the future, we could take a longer trip? Maybe one day, we could be gone a whole year. While we are at it… Is there any way, any whatsoever, we could weave travel into our livelihood??? Time would tell, Dear Friend. Time would tell.
Visit the NY Museums: Guggenheim, MET, MoMa
Our flight was not due until evening, so we figured we had enough time to take a look at the Guggenheim Museum before we had to go to the airport. The architecture of the Guggenheim was very fascinating. We participated in a tour of the building's history and saw some of the world's most famous paintings.

| Dilek's painting in tribute to Kandinsky |
Dilek has always been particularly fond of Kandinsky, and just had to purchase some souvenirs. We have a general rule to avoid souvenirs, unless they represent an exceptional memory, because they tend to clutter up our house. Obviously, Dilek felt that this was one of those exceptional occasions.
The local New Yorkers, who had joined us on the Guggenheim tour, were very stereotypical art-buffs. Completely dressed in black, with a stoic countenance, and extremely eager to let us know how much more cultivated they were than us. Boy, will we miss New York! And no, that is not sarcasm. We really mean it. 😊
And thus ends the Trip… but not the Journey
With this, our trip had come to an end. We had been gone for 51 days, but it felt like much longer. It had been such an amazing experience, we had seen so much, met great people, and did not feel any homesickness whatsoever. We have not regretted a single second… ever!
