• Happy New Year!

    I am sitting in Port Elizabeth, my hometown in sunny South Africa, sipping a cup of coffee and looking out of the window at clear blue skies and I can feel a gentle breeze on my pale European winter skin that must be 25C...sorry folks, but I am in heaven! We arrived in Africa on the 31st and have been travelling a bit since then, so I am a little behind, but SOOOON I will post again and tell you all about it. For now, I just wanted to wish all the best for 2010 and to remind you to enjoy each day to its fullest - it"s worth it. Lol

    6 days and 4 hours without internet! How did we cope for all those years when it didn't exist is my question. After a power failure we were computerless for what seemed like an eternity. Pacing the room and begging doesn't work - waiting for the holidays to end and the repairman to return, does. So I'm back (thanks Arnie) and will continue with tales of Africa very soon.
