Wonderful adventures!
Zak, I love reading your blogs as it makes me feel like you are not so far away. You have had amazing adventures and are so open to everyone and all cultures that I am not surprised that people are so welcoming to you. I envy you having all those wonderful encounters. We all miss you and I was able to spend a week with Michael and family just before Christmas. It was a nice visit and I was there to see Salvador take his first steps. Very busy household! Miss you as always, Love, Sandy
