dangerous adventures Hey Stephanie, sounds like your adventure is offically wild and crazy. I've been keeping updated and feel equal parts happy for you two and extrememly envious! Thunder Bay is exactly as you left it, and I'm sure it plans to stay that way. Until the spring of course, when life feels full of hopeful things again. Ha ha, I'm just being mellow-dramatic because I'm feeing sorry for my almost-educated-ass, and that's allowed because in three weeks I'll be done.
The pictures are beautiful! Take care and have fun tooling around! See you in Kam this summer!
buuurrp hah russian snow princess.... cool one steph.
that sounds like a pretty shitty evening... i dont know if i met moreen? i cant believe that this all happend! poor you! should have jsut stayed at home the whole time like i did - its safer that way.... until HUGE SPIDERS come after you from no where and force you to bust kidneys on counters!!...... but life is tough for everyone, I guess.... anyway, i love you, glad your having fun (hah)..... tell everyone i said hello!
love, nicole
blaaagh how do i look at the pictures!!!! I WANT TO SEE THEM....
and isnt trieste awesome!! (and by trieste i mean their apartment.... im assuming they told you all about how i didnt leave the place ever!)
Good for you!!! I am so happy you decided to go by yourself for awhile. You are too young for such a serious relationship and I know ..... I got Married when I was 21. Not that I regret it but you always wonder ....and you need to experiance things , have adventures and do everything that you can do , making a "CLEAR" path for the journey of yourlife. These years are going to be your most important memories and you don't want to say(when your older) "oh I should have... or I wish i would have... or why was I so scared... Take your chances now if it was ment to be your paths with cross agian(you and Derek)..... Remember this is the only time in your life that you come first.... Once you are married have kids ect.. that chance is gone. I wish you both best of luck and I am very proud of you Stephanie....you have a special light inside of you make it shine!!!!!!Love you always Naomi
Blessings! I hope both of you are enjoying your experience, despite the trials it presents. I know it will be precious to you when you look back. I love hearing about your adventures, and I hope you know you always have my love!

yay for the good spanish experience! cheers to both of you for taking the non-english country risk. and apparently communication is only 40% verbal. i've seen ppl communicate AMAZING amounts of stuff with creativity. hope you both get some good rest time to recoup! how long is your trip??
So Jealous! Hey!
I'm so jealous that you're in Spain! I have two Spanish classes right now, and studying it but not being in a hispanic country is suspiciously like torment. I can't wait to hear about your experiences on the farm! Take care and get better soon!
Mim
Wow Hey guys! Wow, what a rewarding and amazing expirience you guys must be having. Im so jealous! Steph even though your sick, Im glad you still enjoying Barcelona! Hope you feel better soon. And Derek, kudos on using your Spanish! Im learning Spanish right now myself, and I cant wait to go somewhere where I have to use it. Hope you guys continue to have a great trip!
wonderful again, it sounds like you are having a "fucking awesome" time (excuse the language)..... all is well over here too! love you both (yes D, even you! even though we have never met)
Hi. We are a young couple from Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. We are heading off on a 3 month WWOOF trip as of Valentines Day 2007. We're super pumped!!! Hopefully we will camp and hostel it along the way as well. Our destinations will hopefully include England, Spain, Italy, Morocco and France. We are open to suggestions for beautiful architectural, natural, spiritual and eco-building sites. ... full info
