And so it ends...

We woke up at the ridiculously early hour of 6am in order to drive an hour and a bit to the Shannon airport and catch our flight to London. Fortunately things went off without a hitch and we successfully made it to my friend Sumi's place a few hours later. We even stopped at my mother's favorite sandwich chain Pret a Manger for lunch. After getting ourselves settled in and checked in to our flight home, we set out to explore the neighborhood. Sumi's flat is located a couple of tube stops from the Liverpool station and the fascinating markets around them. We poked around, drank some wine, drank some beer, did a little shopping, had a fabulous Indian meal, drank some more beer and then headed for home. It was an excellent day.

Tomorrow the honeymoon ends but I find myself excited for all that life will bring. It will be fun to settle into our newly roommate-free home and settle back into the routine of everyday life.
