The Lasts

 our last Silvester

Today is our last full day in Dresden. Tomorrow we'll turn over our keys and drive to Frankfurt, and on Thursday we'll fly back to America. I've cried so much the last few days that I think I've literally run out of tears. Strangely, I think the last time I cried so much was when we first got here, and fear and loneliness and homesickness put me in a rough place for a few weeks. If only I could've known then how much my heart would break when the time came to leave. Here are just a few of the "lasts" from our final week in Dresden.

Our last walk around the neighborhood

Our last party with Jake's group

 

 Our last brush with German bureaucracy

One last sneaky photo of wild German hair

 Our last stroll down Prager Straße

 Our last walk through the Altstadt

 Our last walk home from church

 

Our last snow

Jethro's last visit to the train station (his favorite place in the world)

Our last bus ride

 Our last tram ride

  

And finally, our last farewells to friends

 

 

Zu unseren Freunde hier in Dresden, ich möchte euch danken. Danke für eure Freundschaft und Geduld. Danke für alles, was ihr für uns gemacht habt. Wir werden euch ganz stark vermissen, und wir werden oft an euch denken. Gott segne euch.
