On this day of Thanksgiving for we Americans, it is fitting that we write our last blog about our amazing trip to Oman, because we are truly thankful for everything Adeline and Thierry did for us. We used a fair few superlatives earlier and we can only echo those now and add on by shouting from the mountaintops how phenomenal it all was.
All the way to the end they were giving their time, driving skills and whole hearts to ensure that we got to see as much as was possible of the incredible country they are living in. Adeline took us to a couple of shops for last minute Omani shopping and then later Thierry took us to an outdoor Turkish restaurant for a last taste of fresh Middle Eastern cuisine; again showing their commitment to being impeccable hosts.
The parting at the airport was tearful and heartfelt for us all but I think it was blatantly apparent that we had all enjoyed the shared time together and would wait with eager anticipation for the next time we have the chance to share further adventures, regardless of what country they occur within.
A million times over thank you to you both, you are truly amazing people and we count ourselves extremely lucky to be friends with you both. This trip has been one of a lifetime and it wouldn’t have been possible without your unending organisation, driving, generosity, hospitality and unrestrained love.
We will have nothing but happy memories from our two weeks in Oman and look forward to the next time we are together, with the new member of your family! You will be wonderful parents, of that there can be no doubt because you have such giving hearts! We love and cherish you both and for what is certainly not the last time, THANK YOU!

What a beautiful summation to a wonderful time with marvelous people!
Love,
Mom
That's really too much, you'd have done exactly the same. It was really our pleasure and even if we accept your million of thanks (I'll count them), you know true friends don't have to thank each other. For us, it was like having the whole family gathered for two weeks (it looked such a short time). But you're right, that's not the end and soon we (the three of us very soon)'ll cross our paths again, no matter the time, no matter the place. Vous êtes toujours dans nos coeurs.
Thierry and Adeline
My english isn't good enough to write everything I'd like. But I think "pareil que Cora"! We are very lucky to be close to wonderful people like Adeline and Thierry. But Cora and CW, you're not bad either! I think that I was the lucky girl to spend ten days with so much friendly people.
I keep an excellent souvenir and I'm already looking forward to see you again. Thierry told me it would probably be in july 2008, with a little girl more. I don't understand why. I'm wondering if they are not trying to hide us that Adeline is pregnant...
Cora and CW, your blog is very nice! It's a pleasure to see so nice pictures!
Bonnes fêtes de fin d'année à tous!
Amélie.
Love the new black & white with Blacksmith Lane floating on top! As always, not at all surprised by this creativity, beautiful writing, down home imagery in the eyes of passion for people & scenery. A real escape from my everyday, when I open the BLOG.
Love, Mom in ATL
