A little white lie for Liz… (I'm home!)

OK, so I lied to everyone. I told you I would be home in early July. The truth is, I got back on Friday… Antonia met me at the airport with a plan for Ethiopian dinner and volunteer work at the street festival the next day (where, naturally, I ran into people I knew). Welcome back to the Toronto rhythm, Marijke… *grin*

But why the lie? Well, it was all for Liz. This weekend was my girl’s bachelorette party and bridal shower. Since I’ve been the Bridesmaid-at-Large for the last few months, I was looking for a way to make up for my long-distance negligence.

Surprising Lizifer at her bachelorette party was the perfect way to do it.

So my apologies to everyone for the little lie I had to tell – Liz is actually a follower of my blog – to keep the surprise alive. If you had seen Liz’s face when I walked in the door last night, you’d know that it was all worthwhile.

Pictures and tales of the Sweden-Denmark-Germany portion of my travels coming soon.
