worlds strongest boy !
wow ! love the picture of dillon - what a muscle-man ! ralph i do hope you kept the hat from mongolia - it suits you very well ;-) i am really enjoying following your travels and I'm pleased you all look like you are having a great time. we are all jealous that you are out of the office ! i am surprised you are finding such good food - i still have a (clearly wrong) image of russia being all about boiled cabbage ! especially pleased you are finding coffee - that's important. FYI I am down to my last few days at IAG - I was contacted out of the blue for a role at CHUBB Insurance (no - never heard of them either) and I start 9 August. So i'll definitely be gone by the time you are back, but I will keep checking in and travelling with you vicariously on your big adventure. Travel safely Wartas ! Kristie Jones xx
