Remember, "it's not goodbye, but until we meet again - 'mate.'"
Ian had to return to Indianapolis due to unforseen circumstances. Although our group will not be the same, we will continue to include him in class sessions via Skype (in this regard, I've really embraced technology ;o) But still we will miss him terribly ... his philosophical thoughts, love for Confucius, Australian sense of humor, desire to always find "Good News" in the world ...
To "celebrate" Ian's participation in such an amazing program (because we definitely didn't want it to be sad), we went out to dinner at Lupini Park/Night Bizaar where I had fried crabs - AGAIN! Yummy!!!! And, later we returned to campus and sang songs at the cultural center.
Here are Charlie (Australia) and Martin (Argentina) playing their guitars ....

Although somber ... it was a wonderful night hanging out with the "U.N.!"
