February 27 - Heading Home

Class 40 was up early and on the bus heading to the Istanbul airport on our final day of the leadership journey.  The majority were destined for home, one was off to Amsterdam, another to Morocco and six to Spain.  In Spain the Delegation will have several meetings following the theme of our International Seminar.  Posts to this blog will occur as appropriate between now and March 5.

As we said our goodbyes, there was a bitter sweet feeling among us.  We were excited to return to California to our loved ones and share our experiences; however we wished the seminar would not end as there is more to learn from this part of the world.

We are all thankful for the opportunity and will forever be appreciative to the California Agricultural Leadership Foundation and Alumni for this seminar. The cultural, political and historical leadership experiences will impact us in our personal and professional life.
