Back in the US of A! I am SO close to submitting my dissertation, breaking only to unpack and repack my suitcase for NO!!! I thought it was time for one last blog post before signing off! The last few weeks in Scotland were so incredible: 4th of July picnic, a weekend hashing in Musselburgh, three days in beautiful Oban on the West coast of Scotland with Jackie, Ken and family, T in the Park music festival, a great ceilidh, my final Rotary lunch and the BEST send off I could ever have imagined: a sunny BBQ in the Meadows with my 20 closest friends (including a surprise visit from Giulia!) that carried on until my 7 AM train left Edinburgh!
This past year may have been the best of my life, full of wonderful people, beautiful places and new adventures. I am so grateful to the Rotary clubs of Edinburgh and Gettysburg for making it possible, and to my host family in Scotland! I will be reaching out to local Rotary clubs, but welcome emails from any clubs interested in hearing more about this experience to
katelynpyoder@gmail.com. Thank you to friends, family and Rotarians for following me this year! CHEERS!
