In what seemed like the blink of an eye, the day came when the Brazilians were leaving. We visited the South Dining Hall one last time for a delicious brunch, and then frantically worked to make sure all bags were packed before the bus to Chicago arrived. The good news was that everyone was packed and ready to go when the bus got to the hotel. The bad news was that almost everyone had bought an extra suitcase to take home with them, and the bus didn't have quite enough room for all those extra bags. However, after some hard work and organization, we managed to stuff all the luggage and all the Brazilians on the bus. A few laughs later (and one very patient driver) we were on our way to Chicago.
Once we arrived at O'Hare Airport, only a tearful goodbye stood between the teachers and their plane to Brazil. While, our experience at Notre Dame was coming to an end, the Brazilian teachers were on their way home to put all of the new techniques and lessons they learned to use. Though they may be far away, they will always be part of the Notre Dame family.
