Hi Ashton & Steve, AMAZING photos, I'm missing the sunshine, so cold and snowy in Bradford. Enjoy New Year.

Hey buddy, just saw your xmas photos, they all looked great - certainly different, espeically you're wearing short and t-shiirt for xmas, how bizarre is that? But pleased to hear that all is well and that you're having great time.
Off to Dublin for New Year, as someone gotta to tame Tom Bastock with all those irish girls, ha ha! Have a good new year mate!

Hey Everyone!

First of all, Wanna to say thanks for the lovely xmas greetings from all over the world!! :D I had a great xmas here in the jungle of Guyana! It was very differnet and great experience to spend the xmas! It surely was very different from the tradational xmas i always get since i was born until now!!

I wont want to go into details of my adventure on messageboard as it is getting late for me and time for me to go to bed. Will promise you all that i will put up the exciting adventure of XMAS In IWOKRAMA in postcard sector by 8pm (my time!) and the photos will be up a running by end of friday as there are so many photos to show to you all! :D

Here is the late wishes of XMAS from Guyana to you people in different part of the world.

Miss you all

Steven/xxxxxxxxxx

Well, xmas may have passed by here but think it's still a few hours left at your end so will take this opportunity to wish you both a merry xmas! Xmas here was rather strange as the indonesians aint into xmas at all whatwith them being muslims n all! However, i spent the day wreck diving to 45m which was well exhilaring! Had just nachos during the day and got sunburnt. Jeez, how i miss the good ol' traditional xmas food along with cold climate! G even fell victim to food poising here courtesy of irish bar food, oh the shame!

Have a happy new year and keep in touch as we are fast approaching south america ;-)

Take care u both!

Hey, just to say merry xmas to u, Stevo. And you, Ashton. You guys aren't the only one spending xmas away from home, we're over here too! Am currently in Malaysia and it being a Muslim country, it's not exactly festive as I'd hoped! Hopefully Thailand will make up for it when I meet up with Tom Mulloy for New Years. Meanwhile keep it real out there! Will be checking updates while I can. Take care S x

Ashton, Steve & the rest ofthe gang, Have a wonderful SUNNY Christmas time. Lots of love especially to Ashton, miss you. Mummy

Hey guys...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Enjoy it mate

How We Are

You hear the sound of laughter;
I see a smiling face,
You hear the rapid footsteps,
I see the stride and grace,
You hear a joyous greeting,
I see a friendly hand:
Yours is a word thats spoken,
Mine is an act as planned.

You hear a shrieking siren,
I see a flashing light,
You hear the blare of traffic,
I see the glare at night,
You hear the lilting music,
I feel the catchy beat:
Yours is the sound of motion,
Mine is the mute repeat.

You hear a tree that rustles,
I see the swaying leaves,
You hear a wind that whistles,
I feel a steady breeze,
You hear a songbird calling,
I see its graceful flight:
Yours is the sound of nature,
Mine is the gift of sight.

You hear the preacher praying,
I see the way he stands,
You hear the people singing,
I see it signed by hands,
You hear the final Amen,
I see the bow above:
Yours is a vocal worship,
Mine is an act of love.

Hi Ashton,
I'm one of the many people your Mom has forwarded this website to. It was so interesting reading all about what you're doing in Guyana! that's really great. You most likely dont remember me, I'm from Dominica, your Mom lived on same street with me, I now live in Florida. It was so good to hear about you, the pics. of Guyana were interesting too.
