Visit to Helsinki
As I was born in Finland and went back for a visit in 1975, it was wonderful to read about your trip to Helsinki and how you enjoyed it. If I win the next lottery, I'm booking my flight! BTW, I see that both you and I are on Ravelry and we both live in Sudbury!

Tango
Hey, last year I went to Argentina and took some Tango classes. I found an apartment rental buenos aires that was great. I was near the downtown so I spent all days watching tango shows, it is a fantastic dance. I would like to keep practising it. Tiffany

Mai-Tais
Am enjoying your travelogue. I have had the Mai-Tais at the Royal Hawaiian on Waikiki beach and they are the best in the world. I figure you can scatter my ashes at the bar while looking at Diamond Head in the distance.

In rainy Mexico
Thanks for reminding me why I am living in the smog, traffic and chaos of Mexico City! Don't think I would last a single winter in your neck of the woods. Thanks for the vicarious experience! P.S. My oldest son lives in Edmonton ... not sure if his snow levels compete with yours, but the temperatures sure do! Big hug, L

How was your last trip?? Do you work or "independantly wealthy"???? Good to find your blog again... All my very best Dominique.

The city of the flower and the bird, a paradise like destination; is located in Cuzcatlan, south east of San Salvador. Suchitoto is one of the most enchanting places in Central America. The weather is pleasant all year around, the views of the man made lake Suchitlan are awesome, breathtaking. The people are hospitable and always make the turist feel welcome. Suchitoto is settle on rocky soil, and has been able to stand many earthquakes. The Old Spanish architecture with tile red rooves, and open corridor gives the town the magic of traveling back in time just by enjoying a stroll thru such charming city. Suchitoto is a place to visit, a place to meet! Una hija agradecida de el calor de la gente de tan linda ciudad.

Good timing
Dear Barbara, i have been thinking of you lately as next saturday i leave for Katmandu and there on to Pokhara to visit an old frend who i met in Ann Arbor 37 years ago. After Nepal i will spend some time in Bodh Gaya and Varanasi (Alka hotel ). It was so nice to see a blog of your 'home' instead of a distant far flung place, and it is very beautiful. My daugther Claudia did a 6 month south america trip last year and still does spanish class' in London. Go well, stay well and keep 'em coming.XX

Where?
Where is the big orange truck? Are you no longer travelling with it? Ecuador sounds wonderful. I can hardly wait until you are in Peru. Macchu Picchu is on my life list. I guess you'll probably have to see it for me! Keep the blogs coming. I look forward to each one. WE are having our guild sale on the 20th . Will be thinking of you. SAndra

Hi Barbara, Ijust got home late last night from Athens. Mike and I were in Rome, Capri, Olympia, Delphi and Athens for 2 weeks. We were being led around by Trafalgar tour company-had a very nice guide from Rome. Man was it hot!! most days it was 32C. I could not believe the ruins that we saw. It was my first trip over there. Mike had been when he was in high school -a few years ago. We met some fabulous people on our bus-some Aussies, some Americans. Some not so great too. After our travels, I really admire your hootspa to go and do what you have done. I look forward to reading whats to come. Nice emerald!! Did I tell you that that is my birthstone? Talk to you soon, Love Fran
