This is really weird writing this, but this is my last blog. I can’t believe it, and as much as I am happy I don’t have to do this everyday, it’s sort of sad. If you think about it, I have written this everyday for more than a year, and even that time when I didn’t write for a month I still continued. Writing has become so easy for me and I am so excited that I have gotten better.
Our trip has been an absolutely incredible experience for all of us, me especially. One of the things it has taught me is we are very lucky to live the life we do. I have loved our trip and it’s going to be strange to go back to our small little town. I’m pretty sure when we get back, I’m going to be different from when we left.
Another thing that is crazy is that I have grown so much! I mean, I knew I had grown a lot but I grew an inch in the last month and a half alone! That’s crazy, I have never ever grown that much, I hope I won’t be short when we get back, maybe kids have grown more than me and I was already small!
I have had so many fun times on this trip, from sailing, swinging, playing with friends, snorkeling, hiking, eating baguettes and eating good food. My favorite Island in the Caribbean was Guadeloupe, we have had so many great memories there, from meeting the Sperrys to playing in the waves.
I’m going to miss everything we have done, everybody we have met and every place we have been. I still can’t believe this is the end of the trip, maybe someone has made a mistake. Even though I miss my home in Idaho, Merlin is now also my home and always will be. Thank you all for reading, I hope you enjoyed!
Sincerely,
Lowie

Your blog has been a highlight to my year and you are an amazing writer. You make us all feel like we are on the adventures with you. I loved seeing how you made friends easily, in all these amazing places, made up games and played. It made me think of you at The Mountain School when you were a little preschooler. I will miss your blogs . I hope to see you soon around Hailey. Keep writing! Thanks for sharing a wonderful year with all of us.

Thanks for writing back. I am off for the summer from teaching at my Waldorf Preschool in Hailey, Sweet Clover School. I am visiting my sister on her apple farm in Massachusetts right now and spending time with my daughter in Boston. We even went on the swan boats in Boston Common which I did when I was little. I love summer because I travel and visit friends and family. I look forward to seeing you around Hailey. Have a wonderful last month of summer ☀️ Best, Bege
