David

hi there, thanks for your email.

just to say

LETS GO CANADA, LETS GO !!!

I bet there were a few beers sunk last night after the maple leaf victory in the Ice Hockey. I managed to see the game incl the extra time and was ecstatic as SID the KID, Sidney Crosby, got the winner .

what a haul 14 golds, and what an event, I hope 2012 in London, provides the same specatacle and success for GB

take care

Tony

Hi David,

I hope the olympics job is going smoothly and that things are getting sorted with your new house. I'm assuming that you haven't moved in yet, so good luck for when you do!

Hi David,

I hope that the Olympic job is going well. Keep up the great blogging.

Hi David,

Happy New Year (& a belated Happy Christmas). We had a great one. Still hoping you can fulfill the other half of the exchange since my cousin, Mikaela, from Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, has been with us for the festive season. She has au paired in Surrey for a few months, travelled to parts of Europe & is hoping to do more of that when her boyfriend arrives from Canada next week, and before returning to Canada at the end of Jan. Enjoy the rest of your stay there - you deserve it!
Lots of love from us all.
Sue

David,

Loved your latest BC entry, very entertaining as always. Maybe a career in philosophy is your calling ?

David, hi there, " HEY MAN WHERE'S THE SURF" !!

Glad to see and read you are still doing ok, and enjoying your time in the state of California. I was fortunate to be over in LA,SF and the west coast area during 08, and had a wonderful time .

Big Sur, Highway 1, et al, i can't wait to see your photies.

if you do get a chance to get around SF, see if you can find " the Bush Man" down by the pier area. He does exist, and I am sure willprovide you with a funny experience, if you get to see him. Similalry when we were in SF we stayed in Haight-Ashbury,an eclecti and bohemiam area, with some great bistros and areas to visit. if you get chance have a look around.

As ever, keep up the great work, enjoy, and see you soon

Cheers

Wow, you've got to love the American Immigration System! I imagine that by 2.30am you were probably trying to convince the authorities of just how much you'd rather NOT be in America at that precise time. Irony, indeed.

Love xxxx

David

hiya

having just read your latest , I can sympathise with you wholly, I've been there as well. it does seem that the officialdom of entering the US, at many many borders, I and my family have crossed at, seems to have gone overboard and yes - the welcome of the Immigration agents at the entry posts,. can be very unfriendly. I am sure however , in fact I would hope, that not all are of them same robotic type - there are other ways over " doing the job". However it does clearly leave an image on visitors, which in this day and age quickly is reflected around friends and family - they I am sure can and should look to do a more customer friendly welcome - whilst sill covering all the Immigration bases.
Anyway, glad you caught up with your colleagues, and i am sure in the coming weeks, you will experience the other more friendly and welcoming side of the USA, that we all perhaps expect.
Enjoy LA,. and all it brings not sure what your itinery is going to cover, but if you get chance visit some of the museums, Getty in partic - its well worth a visit.

Take care - see you soon, keep smiling - HAVE A NICE DAY !!!

David!

Que pasa amigo, que tal?

I've jut read your last blog from Quito, emotional stuff; i'm sure it won't all sink in until years to come. However, I look forward to you recounting your tales in person soon,

Mucho amor

Rob

Hola querido David.. Que agrado haberte encontrado en este sitio, espero todo tu viaje haya y esté siendo de maravillas. Nosotros nos encontramos super bien, Matilda está muy grande y muy curiosa por conocer cada día más, Con Carola estamos mucho mejor luego de esa crisis que te comenté que estabamos viviendo, nos sirvió muchisimo para consolidarnos y para proyectarnos. Como sabemos, las crisis son oportunidades. Con respecto a nuestro proyecto con la yoga, vamos muhcho mejor, va más gente a clases, estamos abrindo en unos días un pequeño restaurant y preparándonos para disfrutar del verano.

Bueno amigo, espero siga bien por la vida, porque ví que eres una persona bien iluminada que debe cumplir con una misón especial, como todos no? esa sensibilidad que tienes, si me permites opinar, la puedes aprovechar en tu autoconocimiento y desde ahí en tu manifestación hacia el beneficio de la humanidad.

Un abrazo enorme y la vida se encargará de llevarnos en algún momento por el mismo camino, sea en esta vida o en otra, porque ya nos juntó alguna vez.

Gonzalo y Familia.
