This morning started out early for the team. We did our last presentation at a The Lakehead morning club. Although tired we looked forward to this last opportunity to present our program. After the meeting we changed clothes and headed for Old Fort William. We got a tour from Wabash who showed us Ojibwa traditions. We did a "smudge" which was supposed to clean our souls and minds - kind of poetic as this is our last day overseas. After the smudge we toured the old fur trading post and learnd about life back then. As a grande finale we even got to sow our own pouches mad from deerskin.
After another deliciuos lunch we jump right on to the next adventure - a tour of the Bombardier plant in Thunder Bay. Rotarian John Luckock gave us the grand tour and some interesting insights in the train industry of today.

We are currently packing our bags and are preparing ourselves for the farewell party, we are looking forward to coming home again although we´re sure that we´ll shed a tear or two - now that the adventure is coming to an end. Pictures will be uploaded soon.

On behalf of District 5580 and our GSE committee I want to thank you for being such great guests while in our district. I have heard nothing but wonderful things about the experiences that our Rotarians have had with you. It is a bit of a sad thing to wish you all farewell but on the other hand I feel like I have made new friends with you all and am looking forward to someday visiting your fine country and being a guest in your homeland. I think this exchange has been very successful and I hope you will have a grand time meeting our team when you return to Sweden. Good luck in your travels and stay safe!
George Van Dam, District GSE Chair
We are going to miss you all. We enjoyed having you in Fargo and hope that you have all had a wonderful time on this side of the great ocean!
Ann and I miss having Tina with us- keep the house key until you return to Fargo, Tina. You will need it to get in!
Please keep in touch, all of you, and safe travels home. You are ALL family to us here.

Lordy, Lordy, we miss you all already.
Do good things!
Dear Team!
We look forward to meet you in Sweden on Monday. It has been great to follow you on this site. I am convinced you have still more to tell us when we meet.
