Hey Shona - Glad to see that you are having fun in all these beautiful places in Argentina. At least I get to live vicariously through your nice pictures. Has anyone ever told you that you are a darned good photographer? Have fun and stay out of trouble! - Ken : )

Trout?! You're mentioned in both the bloody Sydney entries. It's not my fault that you kept me so drunk I couldn't type the whole time I was there.....

Hey Shona, it sounds like you are having fun and games...only 9 weeks until I move to Hong Kong. Are you going to come and visit me? I thought I would post this so that you realise that people DO read your posts! Not just your mum! And how come I only have a tiny mention in the Sydney edition?!? You stayed at my house for almost two months you ungrateful trout! Keep having fun. Love Sarah

ps - Hi to anyone from CWS that I know!

Hi there Shona, nice to catch up with what you are doing.  Take great care of yourself, we think of you often

Sounds like you're having a blast, it's all a bit crazy at the woods but then when isn't it.  I'm still with Ruth (thanks cupid) but i guess Anna probaly updated you.  It's her B'day tomo and I think it's Anna's too so we going to a party at yours.  Don't worry I have one for you.  Miss you lots, Anil.
