Yes, there is a story behind these pictures. For (?) years, my branch at work has owned a life size cardboard cut out of a viking, exactly why I am not sure. However, whenever staff members travelled anywhere interesting, the viking would be dressed up suitably to wish them bon voyage. I remember him very vividly as Queen Elizabeth. For the last few years, the viking had apparently retired to the Carp Branch but made his way back to us to wish me a happy trip. He is beautifully decked out in sari, sandals, flowers and much jewellry and was there to greet me when I arrived at work on Tuesday. What a wonderful surprise! It doesn't show in the photos but he is wishing me bon voyage in english and hindi. I visited the staff room many times this week for a visit and smile.
This will be my last post from Canada. I'm saying lots of goodbyes and feeling quite teary while I do so. My suitcase is packed and all I have left to do is pack my carry-on & purse. Hopefully I won't be done too early or else I will spend 4 hours reviewing lists.
