HI Hannah

We all feel you should steer clear of demented early rising c*** . Gill is jealous of the Salsa classes!!

Keep well

Richard

Wow your off at last!!!! You made it through the days of stress and worry and even battled your way onto that plane!! Lottie and folks were round at the weekend which was cool. Isabel is over a short stint in hospital and is missing her new auntie!!! She says "Waaaaaaa!". Im still trying to work out what that means!!!
I hope your having a fantastic time out there. Take care. Lots of love from the Pringles. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It made me laugh reading your message... Only you could end up sleeping next to a demented cockerel. Good luck with the spanish lessons. x x

Well good to know you're alive at last, be careful in those salsa classes, they're a sly sort! love youxxx

Jesus fielders are you going for the extreme experience of travelling, or what, drug barons at alpine altitude. Well hope you are havin fun and those, learn spanish while you sleep tapes, are working!!! Just got off the boat from a dive off cairnes was cool but, must say i appreciate it all communication in the same language and the cold g&t when i get back to the hostel. keep in touch good luck keith

only my dad could write something like that!!!

Hannah - sorry to hear that you are having trouble with inconsiderate c*** so early in your trip. I suggest that readers of this message board will undoubtedly be able to suggest a range of innovative suggestions that might assist you........Love Padre

Donde esta la Cocahenia? We are missing our little donkey. Hugh still can't get over being donkeyd in Madrid. It was good to see you; hugh's spanish is limited to vino tinto so all we managed for the rest of the weekend was a string of hangovers and a very nasty steak which made cow vomit from his bottom. Happy travels xxx

Good to hear that you have arrived safely and are showing great behavioural flexibility by eating tomatoes - this must be a first (tomatoes I mean). Trust you will get used to your noisy neighbour and even the polution becomes less noticable with time. I have requested the unlock code for your mobile so will forward that when it arrives but could take a while. Did you find your address book as it is not here? Love you. Madre xx

Hola!! I made it past Heathrow!! I am just about to go to a lesson on ´street Spanish´ which I assume includes useful phrases like "please don´t shoot" and "one kilo please"! I am settled with my Ecadorian family with a strict no spoken English rule. This is making for interesting conversation, basically they talk and I nod until they make a face and I realise yes is the wrong response! My first meal predicatably was a plate of raw tomatoes which I suprised myself in managing to eat without passing out or dying! Outside my room lives a retarded cockral which crows not only at sun rise but every ten minutes after so sleep is farily precious. I find it hard to breath at the moment at 2850m and pollution like you cannot imagine! Crossing the road is a major achievement, they stop for no one which expalins why there are so many blue hearts painted on the road, they dipict where someone has died crossing. Have to go, until later, lots of love xxxxx

Hola Chica!!!
Hope you got off oK - eventually. Trust all ok with the drug barons - choose a good looking one and be sure ot keep in touch. Everyone here sends love and kisses (YUCH!)
