Local brew polite turn down, good idea!
Diplomacy in some matters are a good idea! esp when it comes to local brew or food that could have you sitting on the toilet for a few days! Sound's like your having a stunning time and have even stunning pictures to boot. Andy is lapping them up cause he really want to go to this part of the world. As for marraige..he he, dont know. i guess i wouldnt rule it out in all honesty but to be honest, joint bank account and wallet for travelling and getting misty dog when we get back, oh and a house, pretty much makes us half way there. but its a good thing. Andy would want the whole pomp and affair of a wedding and me. Me and him on a beach in cornwall and then a big party afterwards. so comprise city, if it ever happended! god I am hearing myself...I am sooo looking forward to going home! having an amazing time here but looking forward to new job, misty dog, house...i have an urge for kitchen tables, radio 4, compost, garden, sewing and baking!! Costa Rica is the most amazing place. So lush and green. Unfortuntley we have hit the end of rainey season and its a bit harsh on the budget so we are moving on tomorrow. ecological they seem to be getting it right, people are freindly and helpfull...soicalisam seems to be in practise, but not perfect. even san jose is a relaxed city with much culture. well ballet in the amazing national theatre and then the local gay clubs drag contest final. rough and ready with much gloria estefan lip sinking. camp was not the word! but the best thing about costa rica is the hombres...jesus! hot, hot, hot! latin inches mucho! I get the thing about everything being designed for small people, i get constant stares and giggles from young women..which is quite sweet...but bus travel is good but a little lapse on leg room. it took 4 and half hours to go 87 kms the other day! even more me that was painfull, so you can guess andys trip! Well. i have written lots and lots. should have emailed but its done now. so mr you take care and enjoy your travels. lots of love. Paulo xxx

Mama Mia, here I go again, My My...
Ahhh, I saw the stage show. Which was fab and have seen endless trailers of the film and it looks dreadfull (Shame Miss Walters put her name to it). Poor Meryl, thinking she could sing! But yes your rights its all about the camp. Well Mr, good luck for the rest of your travels. I am glad your last day was smiley and YES you will be missed in the office, of course. It sounds like you have been having lots of fun and adventure leading up to the next chapter. Oh dear about the teeth and the miss understanding about chest pain. I am sure you got really bad chest pains at health promotions in Bristol...?? Well big love from me and Andy. We are in La Paz right now, nice! We are chilling out for a few days...ropa washing, postcards, shopping, lots of cable tv whatching in our nice hotel room (Its soooo nice to have BBC world! instead of bloody CNN), fixing cameras etc...all those boring jobs you do when you travel. Although we just spent 3 lush days in the Amazon basin, bobbing up the river beni and spotting mucho wildlife...esp CABABARAS (Ahhhh sooo cute and Andys fave animal) Anyway Ow...Love and hugs, Paulo y Andy x Oh, I wanna send some postcards, Shall I send them to your parents or Jen and Hans...? And Costa Rica, we will be there mid November..so I guess not part of your plans. We will be home at the end of Jan..1st Feb, In fact. We will be back to Bristol for a few days to find somewhere to live and then Plymuff..and then bloody job hunting. xxxx

Strong boy!
Well done Mr Harry, you made the right move. This is because you put so much thought and care into your choice. Your good ethics and way of looking at the world as come through and shone, which makes you a very strong boy. I am sure the 6 months you contruibted towards the work at BNP was very helpful. I agree with how you feel about lasting sustanability. This is the underlying fustration of all "social work" and a constant issue (funding, polictic climate etc) and when your head and heart are feeling this I guess this affects the work. I guess to cut along story short you have done the right thing and enjoy the rest of your time. You know your welcome to join us, anytime. By the way we are back Feb 2nd and will be looking for a house. You are more than welcome to stay with us for a few weeks. Well Mr take care, stay strong, happy and all my love. Paulo x Big hug from Andy x

smorgasbord
Stuart, so glad to hear that you've regained your lost weight...clearly this has been achieved by eating a dictionary each and every day for breakfast! When I read 'smorgasbord' in this blog I assumed it to be a made up term of endearment but no...on checking with dictionary.com it's a real word! You Rock! LOL!

What a brilliant insight into your crazy far away world! you star, it makes perfect escapism for me sifting through my emails in the evening for anything interesting. I can almost smell your adventure (mostly glad I can't actually). Bless you lovely, must have been hideous being poorly like that in those conditions. All character building stuff! You so can't afford to lose any more weight though so get troughing whatever you can in double quantities! Love you loads and keep writing and snapping all you can xxx

You rock!
Dearest Lovely Stu, may I just say that reading your blog will be a total joy...you are a natural born writer (which I knew but had never really experienced!) with the ability to enthral us, make us laugh, possibly cry (although hopefully only due to the laughter) and generally make us feel close to you and your incredible experience. I think you are absolutely fabulous for taking on this scarey/ amazing trip of a lifetime and know that you will grasp all the opportunties that come your way. Tom, Charlotte and I love you very much and will be sending our smiley vibes your way on a regular basis. Good luck my lovely Stu, Clare xxxxxx

Bon Voyage
I had hoped to impress you with the Bengali for Bon Voyage but it seems Google Translate has yet to encapsulate this second most spoken language in India! Stuart....good luck! You never fail to amaze me with the challenges you set yourself and the level of time and energy you give in and outside of your world. You'll have an incredible time I'm sure and I will miss you while you're away and hope to see you before your return! Safe journey and if you can't be good...be careful. Much love, Robert x
