Day 7 Saying Goodbye

Yesterday was our last visit. Sad day. It was raining. We meet with girls; both appear to be very tired. Alyssa was very difficult and would stamp her feet and then fall and start rocking if redirected or told no. Rich tried to hold her and comfort her during one of these episodes, did she would have nothing to do with this. Today is the first time we saw Vicka cry, Rich was playing with umbrella and hit automatic opener which frightened both girls, Vicka was very upset and refused to go near umbrella again. At 12:00 we said goodbye to girls, me in tears.
6 1/2 hour taxi ride back to Irkutsk, no planes fly on Saturday from Bratsk to Irkutsk. It was wild, they pass on hills and drive very fast. Cost was only $141.00. After we dropped off luggage, we went to Snowflake to eat again. They have a delicious homemade spiced wine.
