We've had a whirlwind week and a half of visiting friends and family, the first half in Amherst, plus a quick side trip to Albany, then the last few days in Simsbury. We celebrated my Dad's birthday, Christmas, and missed my brother's birthday - sorry Phill, happy belated birthday! Dinners and lunches with friends, a trip to the New Britain Museum of American Art:

But it's now time to pack up and head back home. And it does feel like I'll be going home. Our friends and family have opened their homes to us and it's been wonderful to be so welcomed, but we no longer have our own home here. Our home, where we hang our hats, as they say, is back in Taiwan. Happy New Year to all and I'll "see" you again in Kaohsiung!
