Matthew and I met with Tallini, Tony and Gus (aka "The Guys") one last time for dinner tonight. Stephanie, Gus' girlfriend came as well. We met at London Lennies. It seemed appropriate since it is one of my favorite restaurants and it's technically our last supper here with The Guys. Matthew was busy tormenting his Uncles as usual and it seemed like it was just yesterday that we arrived. We dined on the usual- steamers, fried calamari and I got the last taste of red snapper before we head back. Looking back, we've had a great time seeing all our friends and family. There are some people that we didn't get to see in person but were able to at least speak to on the phone or catch up through email.
We'll be packing up and leaving early Sunday morning for our journey back home. Tony is anxiously awaiting our return. The past month has been hard on him. Though we speak on a daily basis, it's just not the same when the house is empty.
So, we'll return armed with excess luggage and the noise level in Shanghai just won't be the same.
