The final days in Denmark were filled with activity for me and E. The daytime hours were spent touring Langeland with friends Peter and Phyllis visiting from Vermont. In the evenings we were feted by our Danish families and by our TICKON hosts. Back in Vermont, the sun sets earlier and rises later. My internal clock is slowly resetting itself.

The building of “Diamond Mines” was a delightful experience due to the many wonderful people who helped make it possible. Thanks go to my new Danish friends; Alfio, Lone, Ole, Birthe and Trine. To on-site workers Francesca and Jared goes my grateful appreciation. Always behind the scenes and in the middle of it all was Elin, who supported me in every moment and was my guiding light at every turn.
