Bonjour Sophie et Andy!

Pleased to see that everything is going so well with the both of you. Great pictures and thanks for the updates. Can't wait to get to Peru in the fall. The rest of my trip in Ecuador was great also (except for being robbed of a few things in my small backpack on the bus to Otavalo)...rain forest lodge, Baños, Cuenca then worked my way back up. Take care and look forward to more updates and pictures. Great meeting you!

Evening to you both! - just read your latest journal and looked at photos on "moving islands" - What a marvellous experience trying out the way the locals live and being able to dress in their traditional clothing - Loved all of it - especially those hats with the ear pieces! most charming you both looked! Keep the journals/photos coming when you can and can't wait to see your next episodes! Take care both - Love Mom and Ray XX

Hi both - just to let you know we have received postcard and have sent you an e-mail tonight - hope you receive it. Take care - Love Mom & Ray

Hi there guys, hope you are both having a great time it must be lovely..had a quick look at the photos.. I think there are laws about taking pictures of random stranger children Andy!! Let me know if you want any tips about NZ. Take care lots of love Adxxxx

Hello Both Just read your latest journal and you've had great fun during the carnival time - the way you write it, it's like your' talking to us and giving us folks back home, a smile and laugh with you. You have spent a few weeks travelling and have made great friends, and bet there are more to come - hope they have e-mail addresses so you can keep in touch when all is over! After Peru where will you be going to next? Well our trip to Spain was great - plenty of sun - (but nothing to match the sunshine there!) Hotel and food were the best we've had so far and of course plenty of drink! Look forward to your next instalment and photos - will keep in touch. Take care - Love Mom & Ray XX

Salut salut vous deux, Enfin un peu de temps devant moi pour lire vos tribulations...certaines de vos photos m'on fait mourir de rire et d'autres m'ont transportées avec vous. Quelle chance tu as ma belle d'être si loin !! Mais tu me manques quand même !!! A quand notre loft à New york ?? sinon quelques nouvelles françaises: Royal va se faire plumer au deuxième tour si elle y est et je me dis que si c'est le petit teigneux qui passe je vais surement être au chomage rapidement ! quelques nouvelles de nous: on va bien, on est sur le départ pour la région parisienne il semblerait et Meaux plus précisèment (seine et marne super hein ?) Le boulot est toujours aussi bien, heureusement que j'ai mes stagiaires pour rattrapper la connerie de certaines personnes avec qui je suis obligée de travailler. Je vous embrasse bien fort tous les deux !!! Prenez soin de vous et profitez à mort !! P.s: Tu me ramènes quoi déjà ? ;-) Bisous bisous

Hi Andy & Soph ,sorry about not being in touch have had computer problems but hopefully now all sorted. Please note new E-Mail address. It is nice to note that Andy's horse riding skill has not been wasted. It is nice to see that you sound as though you are having a fantastic time and great that you were both famous enough for South America to put on a Carnival in your honour. Your updates are really informative and make great reading. Carry on enjoying yourselves.

Hi Love your photos! But what are the scary bugs that you are holding in your hands??? You both look so tanned Hope you are keeping well and keep updating this journal, esp with the photos. It makes me feel like I am on holiday too from the office (hey, it is like a virtual holiday for me!) B xxx

Hi both - After various attempts to send you e-mails and not sure if they arrived! We have realised tonight we have to "Post a Message"!! Looked at your new photos and must say you both look great on horseback! Just like real cowboys - Ray says 'the horseriding in that country - he could go for that' me, I'm not too sure! You seem to be having the time of your lives (except having to wait for buses!) - and what was in that little white cup? We are off on travels on Saturday to Spain for a week so won't be able to catch up on your news till around 5 March - take care and hope you are both keeping well and not putting on too much weight with all that good living! - will contact you when we get home. Love Mom nd Ray XX

Hey Crazy Kids! Loving the updates and photos... that's no carnival: that's 'It's A Knockout'! 'Playing the joker in the flan-fling round and representing Europe...' Thought we saw an advertising board for the first Ando's outlet, but there's obviously stiff competition in Ecuador so maybe Peru instead? Keep the news coming and we'll try posting you a photo of the 3mm of snow that brought the UK to a halt recently! :0) Have nothing but fun S&V xxx
