| 21st August 2008 Kass | :( - From: Soggy squamish Awwe, I miss Canada :( What a great country. |
| 14th August 2008 familytraveling@hotmail.com | Peru - From: the scenic way back to Cusco through Chinchero My family and I just got back from Peru too. I noticed that you also went to the Machu Pichu. Aren't the markets interesting? Definetly not what we were used to. Did you guys stay overnight there? We stayed at the Sumaq Hotel. I heard it is the only 4 star hotel in Peru. If you ever go back it worth it stay there. We booked our vacation through www.peru-inc.com. They really know how to cater their clients. No problems at all. Check them out. |
| 13th August 2008 Arthur | - From: Machu Pichu Jono Please be careful on those edges. I am nervous; you look so relaxed. |
| 13th August 2008 Arthur | Congrats on getting to a hundred - From: the scenic way back to Cusco through Chinchero Hey well done guys. That was your hundredth blog. And over 2000 pics as well. And still going. |
| 11th August 2008 Jono Dahna | - From: Cusco craziness cool. That would be an interesting read. |
| 6th August 2008 Clare (OE) | - From: Cusco craziness Hey, i've been meaning to say...we recently took out a sub to National Geographic, and last month there was a big article on the political situation in Bolivia (and lots of good pics) and this month there is a pic of the Road of Death from La Paz. So I've been thinking of you folks a lot! |
| 26th July 2008 Jono Dahna | oooopsadaisy - From: nada es seguro: volunteering with an indigenous community in the Bolivian Amazon the date stamp is so far ahead because I am in holiday head space and date challenged! Thanks for pointing that out to me! haha. It is fixed now. |
| 26th July 2008 Clare (OE) | - From: nada es seguro: volunteering with an indigenous community in the Bolivian Amazon Wow, what a great thing to do Dahna, realise your childhood dream and volunteer at the same time! your butterfly with the blue wings is probably a Morpho - very famous amazonian butterfly. Lucky you. Kinda like seeing a Cairns birdwing (the green one) in Cairns, or the Ulysses (blue one on the pawpaw boxes). XXXClare btw, why is the date stamp on your blog so far ahead?? |
| 12th July 2008 Jono Dahna | haha - From: nada es seguro: volunteering with an indigenous community in the Bolivian Amazon shhhh... that is still to come! (I have not got around to writing up the Pampas tour yet... I should write less I guess, then it would not take so long... :) |
| 12th July 2008 lolo & fifi | Lyers! - From: nada es seguro: volunteering with an indigenous community in the Bolivian Amazon Hey amigos! Did you say that you saw pinks dolphins? We want to see the photo with dahna and the pink dolphin.... See you Cusco amigos...great choro trek in your company and very nice libanese dinner. |
| 22nd June 2008 muma | Great Blog - From: On the way to Bolivia: via Arica, Putre and Parinacota Thankyou both for such an excellent travel account. should be a book or T.V show. What stories we will hear on your return. Keep well and safe. This is my new computer. I have your mum and dad with me. Thank you for your post card. Lots of luv and hugs from mumaxxxxx |
| 13th June 2008 SarahBigger | - From: feeling the cold in Cordoba Wow, these are great pictures of his house! |
| 10th June 2008 laurence | Pacific ocean - From: Valparaiso and Vina Del Mar hi guys! Where are the photos of you diving into the ocean... We gonna try to have a swim in hot spring on the desert... See you in a few weeks or days guys, in l Paz or Sucre for more good time together! lolo |
| 4th June 2008 Denise | Beautiful pictures!! - From: Condorito National Park: birthplace of the Andean Condor The pictures are really beautiful, thanks Dahna and Jono! The grass tufts with tall seed heads look like what is known here as a noxious weed, commonly called pampas grass!! ( I removed seed heads from pampas grass in Vincentia bush a few weeks ago.) I guess the pampas is its natural location; a pittoposporum would be a weed out there. I am VERY glad Dahna did not become a condor condiment! love Mum |
| 31st May 2008 lolo | Bolivia is waiting for us! - From: feeling the cold in Cordoba It's so nice to see you again and again. Nice to enjoy good diners at the Palenque hostel, nice to enjoy a day in the nature with the "condorito"...and so good to plan treks with you guys. And I hope we gonna keep in touch..you in france and us in Australia.... See you somewhere between Chili, Bolivia and Peru. |
| 29th May 2008 Arthur | up to date again - From: feeling the cold in Cordoba Great to hear you're back in the present tense again. And at a slowed down rate. Interesting you thought Che's kitchen the centre of his early life. Probably was too. |
| 25th May 2008 Jono Dahna | hey Dad - From: is it the end of the world, or just Volcan Chaiten? You did well translating thei r sit e from you school boy french. Did you notice in the toip corner you can get Google to do the thinking for you? It only does a slightly better job though. :) |
| 25th May 2008 Jono Dahna | i know - From: More pictures from Esquel following Chaiten Volcan crazy huh? We both feel sorry for the people that live there though. It could keep erupting thing for months. Maybe years... at least we could leave. |
| 24th May 2008 Denise McConnachie | Awesome pictures! - From: More pictures from Esquel following Chaiten Volcan The place looks like Afganistan and you look like the mujahideen!! I am glad you all got out of there alive! |
| 9th May 2008 Arthur | following the adventures - From: is it the end of the world, or just Volcan Chaiten? Really glad to hear you're away from the ash cloud now. Checked out the link to Phillipe and Lawrence's website. With my smattering of half remembered school-boy French and a lot of guessing I could follow the parallel trip. Similar pics even. A very ghoslty image there of 2 of you at close up all covered in ash. Did the caption say something like "Would you give us a lift?" ? Hey I've never used 2 question marks together like that before. Is that legal? |
| 7th May 2008 Jono Dahna | the moon - From: Present tense in Esquel haha. Yeah, I donīt miss it though! Hope you guys have cleaned all the ashes away from all your stuff! |
| 7th May 2008 Jono Dahna | I know! - From: The Patagonian rock stars: Part one (Torres Del Paine) arenīt they cute? I wanna bring one home too, so maybe I will try to bring two! |

As challenging as the place sounds its good to see you both left relatively unscathed! The south amercian lamb sounds mouthwatering... no mention of tequilla though..... johno are you on the wagon ? |
| 13th April 2008 Arthur | Stunning - From: Cochamo valley: Yosemite of the South Stunning pics guys. You are very brave and adventurous. Now the front bit of this travel blog entry says there are so many pics and so many words etc. But this time it says there are 2 videos. I can't see where they are. Are there any there? |

| 7th April 2008 Howie | Bariloche bathrooms as small as they come - From: Pause between adventures Love the tiles |
| 3rd April 2008 heather | wowzers - From: Upwards to a cathederal of rock butt naked Argentinian army guys... nice... :) sounds pretty amazing and pretty adventurous. Climbing is so brilliant that it can be a sissy weekend of bolt clipping 12m routes or a 25kg pack haul kinda gig. Love it! glad your loving it too! xxx |
| 2nd April 2008 Kass | - From: First class baby! and 4 countries in one day Turbulence like a massage! lol! Sounds like an awesome "inconvenience"! |
| 16th March 2008 Kass | - From: Potrero Chico (limestone heaven) More blogging!! MOOOOOOOOOOOORE BLOGGIN!! |
| 21st February 2008 Denise | Great work! - From: Tlateloco and the plaza de las tres cultculturas I love the layered history pics, Dahna. Perhaps these are a metaphor for Planet Earth?? Hope you enjoy Santiago! |
| 11th February 2008 heder | wow - From: Crazy taxi rides, Aztec dancers and cheap food 2 bucks fifty for a chicken! awesome, dust or not, thats good protein! and the dirt cleans your teeth anyhow. Im glad to hear that your alive and well, and that the taxi guy didnt have to use the knife. Oh and the smells must be awesome.. not from Johno... ;) but from Meh-hic-co.... love you heaps and miss you more. take care, play safe and enjoy the time. x h |
| 31st January 2008 Kylie | Wait a minute... - From: Thanksgiving and goodbyes ...you guys are engaged?! When? I must have been in Serbia - literally! Well big fat congratulations from me and Nick! Sorry I missed the news when it was fresh! Enjoy South America and say Hi to those big heads on Easter Is for me, if you get there! (I don't think you're allowed to climb them!) Keep in touch! |
| 31st January 2008 Mum Mc | HD Make up - From: High definition make up, ice hockey and snow Hi Dahns - thanks for the snow blog!! Snow has sure transformed East St. And I have never heard of HD make-up - but then I am a make up illiterate, so what would I know?? Sorry to hear about the accident with Paul this is a very sad thing. Best of luck with packing up and moving on - will be thinking of you lots over the next few days. Its good that you are escaping from that dangerous Canada place!! |
| 31st January 2008 heather | dont leave!!! - From: High definition make up, ice hockey and snow I cant believe your finally finally leaving... woah... the snow looks rediculous. Considering its high high 30s here... must be fun but. I dont think i could controll myself not to make snowballs constantly. x |
| 11th January 2008 Arthur | All smug and cosy or is it cozy? - From: Extra large means extra large and women don't go mountaineering Neither looked right so I checked in the old dictionary and both seem acceptable. Great to see you all fireside at Xmas and cuddling up in the snow. Or at least Paul and Jane are. I am really pleased to see that you Dans and Jane have kept up an old friendship from way back. I love looking at the pictures of you so happy. |
| 26th November 2007 Arthur | stunning silhourtte - From: Ahah… Skaha! Breathtakingly beatiful silhouette photo of Jonno, Dans. All those fingers individually exposed to the chill winds too. |
| 26th November 2007 Arthur | reminder of happy family times around a celebratin table - From: Thanksgiving and goodbyes Aaah how wonderful to see you all sitting around that table enjoying each other's company and enjoying fine food and drink. Reminds me of when we were all sitting around with you at the same table when we visited you in Vancouver sharing the local fresh salmon and berries. We'll have to a skype video cross to you when we have our Xmas day gather around at the Vincentia table. No that won't work. We don't have internet there and also day is night and night is day for us. So maybe we'll have some big pictures of you both at the table and be thinking of you. |
| 12th November 2007 capsfan2002 | Thanks! - From: Who are the fools now? Thanks for the comment on my blog but your sunrise photos are some of the BEST I've seen. Keep posting!! |
| 4th November 2007 capsfan2002 | Photos - From: Who are the fools now? You posted some GREAT photos. The sunrise ones were so pretty. Just thought I'd drop a comment and let you know. Had to rate a few of your photos as a result! Keep blogging... |
| 22nd October 2007 Arthur | Wow - From: Howling at the moon Absolutely stunning!! |
| 16th September 2007 hetaherherthe | rad - From: Ultimate Everything aces, ultimately amazing . 15 pitches of greatness indeed. looks freekn exceptional, makes me want to buy a plane ticket....hmm... |
| 2nd September 2007 denise | Cute! - From: Big sinks I like the idea of ob blogs (observation blogs) as much as travel blogs!! Prretty amazing abou that little squirrel!! Our wild bush turkey has taken one of my pot plants - pot and all - to incorporate into his heap! Interesting how wild things are adapting to urban habitats! |
| 17th August 2007 Kristen | Weddings and Such??? - From: Leap frogging Hi Guys! Just doing a lot of catch-up on your blog. It looks like you are still having a blast! Send some rain our way! How fun that your families are visiting. I have to confess that I heard a rumor (yes you guys are still the topic of rumors even half a world away) that you'all are engaged!??!?!?!?!?! Just checking! |
| 20th July 2007 Clare (OE) | - From: Dyno comps and garbage Wow. I like your hopscotch game. Sorry to hear about the recycling dilemmas, I wonder how the National Folk Festival deal with it... a generally more hippy crowd? |
| 6th July 2007 Danny | WOOHOO!!!! - From: summer and knot tying Congratulations Nipper and Dahna!!! That's some happy news you've got there. P.S. Can you send me back a buffalo in the post? I think it would be a very funny joke to sneak it into Ruley's room when he was asleep one day. Imagine waking up to that after a big night! |
| 23rd June 2007 Mama and Mum | Tidying up loose ends.... - From: summer and knot tying Hi Dahna and Jono! CONGRATULATIONS on your engagement, we are delighted by the news and very, very happy about welcoming Jono, and all his wonderful family, into this new and very special connection with all of us. This is the very best news we have heard for a long time!! Mama says this is the first step of her long awaited plan to come true (ie being a Great Grandmother!). Triffic news too about the Subaru, and even better news about the bits of work Dahns - these sound really interesting and will add good variety to you Canadian experience! I am very confident that you will handle the festival fabulously. Love to you both!!! |
| 23rd June 2007 Jono Dahna | buffalo - From: summer and knot tying yeah - it was on a farm though, not in the wild. Still pretty cool. |
| 22nd June 2007 Kass | :D - From: summer and knot tying Sweet! You got to see a buffalo! |
| 15th June 2007 Jono Dahna | heya ev - From: bogans by the lake long time no see/hear. u work too much! But yeah, we are doing a fair bit of that too - it just doesn't make for very interesting reading. I just did a 7 day stint of work (and am only getting $11 an hour for it) - if that lessens the envy a little... ? |
| 15th June 2007 Jono Dahna | limestone - From: Chinatown i agree - limestone would be a great addition. I was eyeing off the cement statue, but... (-Dahna) |
| 14th June 2007 BigKev | China rocks - From: Chinatown My kina place... just need to add a dose of limestone and chinatown would be complete |
| 14th June 2007 Kevin | conversion - From: At home on an island Nice work Edwards..... finally converted that girl! No more barbies with veggies burgers and been sprouts .... Beer BBQ and a meat eatin bird !what more could you want ......ah... the state of origin....now life is complete.... |
| 14th June 2007 ev and heath | oooeee - From: bogans by the lake johno loves dahna!!! oooo... lovers....lovers... kissy kissy smooch-a-roo! sounds like those westies would give the penrith pram pusher and pot smokiers a run for there money... I can see the girl guides faces now... oh that bonnet blue!!! You folks doing any work over there ? or is it just one big holiday? Envious ev here...... working life is taking it toll .... yah for more holidays!! Johno... nice pics your starting to get the hand of hadling that lens ! |
| 12th June 2007 Jono Dahna | hey dad - From: At home on an island hey dad, yeah Jono does make a good laid-back aussie bbq chef. Looking fwd to seeing you guys over here and playing in the sun too. We might catch up with Colin and Julie again later in the summer. See what happens. |
| 8th June 2007 Arthur | Great to hear about your meeting up - From: At home on an island Great to hear you've met up with Colin and Julie. That and getting called into work explains the few days without a Travel Blog update. I check it every day. Maybe I'll get an RSS Feed from there when I work out what all that high-tech stuff actually means. Johno looks like a laid-back Ozzy BBQ chef there. Just like a summer arvo on the back deck. It turned so cold here in Oz overnight I'm starting to look forward to spending some time soaking up the Canadian summer. Those earlier ice and snow pics, pretty tho they were, weren't super-endeering me to the climate. Do you get to see Colin and Julie later, or when they come back? Looking forward to seeing you soon. |
| 6th June 2007 David Edwards | The Burgess Shale and the pre Cambriam Explosian - From: Coliseum mountain Hi Dahna and J. Thanks for your stories and photographs : a treat to review. We had lunch with a friend from Vancouver during the week. It co-incided with his Mother's funeral, so a bit weepy, but Vancouver from him sounds as good as from you. Here it's cooling down - the spring suit is required in the ocean now. There has been some surfing, esp at Wairo, but not like those photographs of Martin's on your blog, D. You had one large one, then there were 3 in the 'many pics' collage. Could you post the others please- I'd like to have a good look. It must be of that break near Turos, or at Murramarang? We had an afternoon at J's paternal grandmother , that would be my mother, on Sunday. Richard had to turn 60 and retire from 40 years of working. 60/40 is not a bad ratio, and it gets better from now on. J., on anzac day I got out my Dad's Service record you thoughtfully copied for me, and had a minute's silence. As I was alone all morning, a minute's silence was just one of many. I also gave a thought for Martin, closest of us all to Turkey, and to Romel's North African coast. All the best, David. |
| 5th June 2007 Heather | RAD - From: Coliseum mountain that looks a) so cold b) so much fun c) something better than sitting at work Canada seems like such a cool outdoor playground, theres nothing like that back here.. just roos and paddocks and bush and... nah the Blueys rock. Missing yas. x h |
| 3rd June 2007 jenna | snow shoes! - From: Coliseum mountain wow... those things on your feet are amazing. now i understand why they have those send-ups of people with tennis-rackets stuck to their feet. it's just little things i see and read on your journal that makes it seem like you're in such a different world. it looks amazing. |
| 3rd June 2007 jenna | - From: See you at the bottom that looks awful... my hands are cold and hurting just thinking about it. |
| 30th May 2007 Mum | What a journey! - From: Coliseum mountain Hi Dahns - we have a new computer now and I have been able to journey through your last 6 journals! What great entertainment they are! Some fab pictures and good joles, too. I laughed at the trees/ no trees comparison - goes to the heart of humanity really there are only 2 types of people, tree people and no-tree people. Seems to me too that there must be a lot of sunshine coaches in Vancouver and they are doing a good job because the sun is finally learning how to shine again! Muma sends her love but I definately will NOT tell her about you climbing the Banana Peel. Oh, and I loved the pic of yellow flower, with snow. Thanks for all the stories I am lapping them up!!! |
| 26th May 2007 Elissa Edwards | Hi - From: Chinatown Hey guys. Well i have finally got around to reading all your blogs and also martins and Kris and now i cant see straight. Congrats on your job Dahna and hope yours is going well jono. Hope all is going well and the weather is getting alot better. Love you both. Lis xoxox |
| 22nd May 2007 Paula | - From: See you at the bottom woweee!! |
| 18th May 2007 Heder | RAD - From: See you at the bottom im sooo jealous. Looks amazing chicca. And spring...hmm... well that dont look so hot! Go the chief. Go climbing on an apron. x |
| 17th May 2007 Jono Dahna | heya - From: Crunch Hey Clare! Yeah - I have been meaning to drop you a line for a while. Life just gets away sometimes. Thanks for dropping in! So, sounds like your cooling down has not passed over with our 'warming up' yet. tehehe. We are still hovering around mid-teens ;-) No water though, huh? sigh. Wish I could send some over from here. |
| 17th May 2007 Clare | Catching up - From: Crunch It's been a while since I checked in on your blog, so it's been very interesting reading what you've been up to. You're right about it getting cooler here, but not that cool - still no frosts and temps in the high teens and low twenties! No rain either, stage 4 restrictions (no watering with tap water) looming. They're now saying it might rain tonight though. Yay for working in retail, but sorry it doesn't pay. Miss you here. |
| 16th May 2007 Jono Dahna | bayden powell - From: Crunch yeah - he was the guy that started the scouts. Actually, I think I spelt it incorrectly - should it be Baden Powell? - and, I don't know what significance he has in this part of the world. Good question - 'cause I thought he was British. mmm... actually, I know very little about him. tehehe. And yes, the run was worth it - my ankle is mostly better now. xx |
| 16th May 2007 jen | bayden powell? - From: Crunch was bayden powell the guy that founded scouts? i wonder what significance he has to that track and that part of the world more generally... (apart from causing injuries!). sorry to hear about the ankle, but that forest looks AMAZING, was it worth it? (almost)? |
| 15th May 2007 Heeether | ratz - From: Crunch Goddam moss, doesnt it know when to be slippery and when not.. The Chief aint going anywhere, but i feel for your frustration. Craft it up instead chicca. x |
| 13th May 2007 Arthur | Teleport the wobbleboard - From: Crunch Ah if only I could teleport the wobbleboard to you Dans. Norm and I have been using it while I'm on phone for balance and exercise strengthening. For those not used to our family lingo. "teleport' refer to Star trek and before that Blakes Seven and probably elsewhere as well. And the wobbleboard is our family nickname for our Ankle Injury Rehabilitation Device. |
| 10th May 2007 Norm S | Happiness is... - From: dipping ...enyoying the time you have to the fullest, in such a beautiful part of Canada. Wish I were there. |
| 8th May 2007 Jono Dahna | heya - From: Crows feet hey mum. We did know that ABC had the cricket, but you had to pay for it if you wanted to stream it outside of Australia, and we are cheapskates. I, for one, didn't want to listen to it enough to pay ;-) I also knew that ABC is right into the podcasting thing - but for some reason hadn't thought to explore it. Thanks for the reminder! xxx |
| 8th May 2007 Jono Dahna | yes yes yes - From: underemployed, underpaid, overqualified but happy hey mum - couldn't agree more. And yeah, I was thinking either Ian Lowe or Peter Singer would be good. Ian Lowe probably more so. Maybe we should send a copy of the Vancouver sun front page to the editor... mmm... I like it. They are making it smaller, huh? Guess that was on the cards. Are they investing more online, I wonder. |
| 8th May 2007 Mum | Happiness is priceless! - From: underemployed, underpaid, overqualified but happy Who cares about quals and pay scales - these are just artifacts of mere humanity that are meaningless when they are lined up in front of happiness! Glad you like the job Dahns - sounds like you might capture in learning more than what you will forgo in dollars. We heard a talk recently given by Ian Lowe - President of the Australian Conservation Foundation - an excellent speaker - just the right person to edit the SMH. By the way, when you return to Australia, the SMH will not be the traditional broadsheet size- will be shrunk to somethin smaller (not tabloid though).Love MUM |
| 3rd May 2007 Denise | What about radio?? - From: Crows feet Hi Dahns - ABC radio does live streaming to the internet. Maybe shoud try to find out more about it to get sport coverage?? On Sundays there is that Program "Macka all over" which is just SO quintessentially Australian. You could get it cause it would be on your Saturday maybe? ALSO ABC radio has somethings in podcasts that you can download at any time. Might be a way to get a bit of a dose of aussie?? Maybe have a look at ABC website? I listened to most of that cricket final on my radio- I find that cricket is even better than meditation music when I am sleepless!!! LOts love to you both - ME |
| 3rd May 2007 Arthur - Dahna's dad | What a lovely man - From: Home grown tomatoes and wild blackberries Yeh Maybe Scots are really kind people too. And completely unrelated to main comment we're still getting tomatoes from Jen's garden at front of her old flat. And now in May - nearly winter. Perhaps some connection because the kindly Scotsman gave you tomatoes. Your scenery shot makes me think you might never be able to grow tomatoes in Canada. |
| 24th April 2007 Kass | - From: Travel Vs Climbing Typical Canadians, eh? Taking something awesome and stealing it for themselves. |
| 24th April 2007 Jono Dahna | Sydney Opera house - From: Travel Vs Climbing Yeah, it does seem plagiarised. I agree. I'll find out when it was built ;-) |
| 24th April 2007 Jono Dahna | rock or my butt - From: Travel Vs Climbing mmm... good question! lol. And rain, rain, rain.... atleast it makes lots of time for blogging ;-) |
| 24th April 2007 Kass | - From: Travel Vs Climbing Is the laughing crack the rock or your butt? lol. I love your photos. If I wasn't so lazy and weak I'd like to give rock climbing a go, it looks awesome. As for the rain, it really does ruin everything doesn't it? lol. |
| 24th April 2007 Mum | From Parkesbourne, again! - From: Travel Vs Climbing Hi Dahns and Jono! I am visiting Muma againa and have taken the chance to catch up on your blog. The pictures come up better on Mumas computer than they do on our Morandoo Ave one! THey are great, too- they really do give a good idea of what your life is like, thank you lots for all of them! Dahns once you have mastered cracks and jamming you might like to practice the smiling for the camera!! Loved the picure of the poodle. Also am pretty impressed with your office, Jono! Though the Sydney opera house is unique to SYDNEY - I am annoyed that Canada has seemed to plagiarise it! Love from Mum |
| 5th April 2007 Jono Dahna | - From: hungry bears sure... 'tis a plan. Thanks for the kayak advice too... might need to look into that one. |
| 5th April 2007 Jono Dahna | - From: hungry bears lol |
| 5th April 2007 Jono Dahna | - From: hungry bears :-) |
| 3rd April 2007 arthur | the joke - From: hungry bears a few relos will be relieved. |
| 2nd April 2007 Kass | ! - From: hungry bears Oh and that picture of me is scary! You could use it to scare the bears away, maybe blow it up and have it sitting out in the yard or something lol Or even like get a sweet projector to project it onto the side of your place lol. Awwwweeeeesome! |
| 2nd April 2007 Kass | ! - From: hungry bears That track around the seawall is 8km? Really? Bjorn and I did that when we first arrived in Vancouver, it's so pretty. I'd love to do it again if you guys would be up for it once it gets warmer :) As for sea kayaking, don't go double! Having your own to kayak is so much more satisfying :) Bjorn and I went sea kayaking last August. I had initially wanted to go to Deep Cove, but someone suggested Bowen Island to me instead (its just a ferry away from Horseshoe bay - which is just a quick bus ride from where you guys are!). It was gorgeous. It seems that the Bowen Island kayaking doesn't get much business, so its quiet, which meant we had the instructor all to ourselves. Totally awesome! |

| 1st April 2007 Jono Dahna | treadmill - From: Hastings Street blues and Lynn Peak highs Yeah - David Suzuki is 70-something and although he seems outwardly optimistic, surely he must be getting pretty frustrated by how stuck on the treadmill we still all are, particularly the politicians. He is going to be guest editor of the Vancouver Sun for one day this month (April) - that will be very interesting. |
| 28th March 2007 David Edwards | You two write well. - From: Hastings Street blues and Lynn Peak highs Hi J. and D. - thanks for the stories and photographs. Your insights and thoughts on Hawaii make good reading. All that education hasn't gone to nought. Where is David Suzuki now? He must be so disapponited- to have been banging on fo the last 30 years (or more?) and we are all still on that treadmill. Well, not all of us: you two seem to have largely avoided it so far. best wishes, David. |
