An uneventful stay in SP due to us both feeling sick and thus also homesick. I met my friend Karina and her boyfriend Marcos last night. It wasgreat fun and we went for sushi and sashimi and capirinhas here in Jundiai. We talked a lot about Conti of course, but also about life and everything else. It is amazing how two people brought up so far away from each other and in such different cultures can click so easily as me and Karina and become such good friends. I will definitely come back here to see her and Marcos (who are getting married in Nov) Well - we're off to find some cash to payour driver back to the airport and as youcan maybe tell the spacebaron this keyboard isn't working allthatgreat. aaaaarrrrrgh! Flight leaves tonight. ... read more

Greetings everyone! It's our last day in Florianopolis and I am finally feeling A LOT better. I just had breakfast with Par. He is coughing and a little feverish so I sent him back to the room for some rest before we take our final walk on the Canasvieres beach. Our flight leaves at 15.00 so we have to be ready and packed for the shuttle at 12noon. Today we head back to Sao Paulo where we will be met by a driver who will bring us to Jundiai. This is where Lena's friend and Conti colleague Karina lives. Ca~n't wait to see her again, it's been almost 4 years since we met at a training course in Hannover, Germany. Well, gotta go pack. Hope everyone is doing well! Hugs!... read more

He did it! 12 hours and 37 minutes....which isn't close to what he was hoping for, but still great. He had a fever in the morning, sore throat and barely slept at all, so I'm very impressed. After he finished he apparently seemed a bit wobbly, because they hooked him up to an IV and gave him a shot of something. He said he felt a lot better after that. We tried going to breakfast this morning (Monday) but I was feeling really, really dizzy and had to be almost carried by Par back to the room (which thank god is on the first floor!!) There I passed out, right by the door. But only for a few seconds. To make a long story short, I barely ate anything the day before so I was probably ... read more

Our trip here was fairly uneventful. Par and I met up in Miami - where he just managed to walk up behind me without knowing where I was at.... :-( Som minor baggage issues (when are there NOT baggage issues????) and we were ready. But wait, doesn't Gustaf live in Miami - Par's roommate from Georgetown and also Swedish - so we called mom who called him and all of a sudden he calls and is on his way to pick us up. We went down to Coral Beach and caught up on some gossip and met Rat Bastard (small white teacup maltese) and Selma (large black some kind of terrier) and had a good time. Ett skafferi, flera skafferåd, eller hur var det nu? At 9:45pm, we boarded our flight and took off for Sao ... read more
