Last day of attachment, arts and music festival

Last day of attachment
3 Boyd Tower where we spent most of our time

Prepared gifts for them..

Marcia and Catherine
They are really nice pple and I am gonna miss them!

I started to take photos of familiar sites in the hospital..
The compass which helped us find our way..

The café where we had most of our lunches at

the stall which we frequent most often

The Java coffee house which had the best coffee
Where we had our discussion/gossip session and whiled away some of our time

The 7th floor atrium which had a change of menu every day!

The staff room which we spent quite a lot of time at

After we were done with our hugs and goodbyes, almost wanted to cry, and I think Catherine teared, I had to move to Sheraton hotel as we did last min booking and there was no more rooms in Hotel Vetro

My room at Sheraton



Ready for the arts and music festival rite outside my hotel at downtown iowa with my Iowa hawkeye shirt

slowly appreciating nice things along the way
If only daddy is here...

Settled down for a quick bite at the supermarket at our hotel ..
was craving for soup, hence had both clam chowder and tomato soup

The deli hot bar where we bought most of our hot piping meals up to our hotel for dinner

Pple leaving their notes on the blackboard

I left my print too...
spot it..

walked around one last time before I headed back to hotel to rest
I must say this is a memorable birthday for me
almost had a continuous 2 day birthday (both Singapore and US time)
Goodbye Iowa. A place I will remember...
A place I am gonna miss
take home reminders: slow down and be happy, we can do it..
