Sari Sari it took me so long to thank you for your holiday card - I loved it!! Been catching up on your pics. Looks awesome, hope everything is going well. Your pup is adorable, but I worry that you gave him sleeping pills. Wake him up and tell him to smile for the camera! ;)
well hello there! Sounds like you are having muchos fun! I can definitely relate to the transient nature of friends and living/working abroad, but it sure is worth it, isn't it? I really envy you! I miss being abroad and teaching, particularly in Thailand...not sure how much longer I will survive at this desk job. Fairly sure I remember promising myself I would NEVER get a desk job...
Hope all is well with you! Can't believe you and Kimmy both speak Swahili now!
Love,
Rachel

Could happen anywhere Just last Saturday our Alex was mugged right here in Athens for his mobile phone plus 1 Euro which was all the cash he had left.
This is a fairly safe place with not a lot of violent crime but it seems to be changing.
By the way what kind of snake was it?
Wow waht an experiences Hi Alex,

We had a wonderfull Sunny and snowy X-mass in Gstaad. And of course we memorised you with al the pictures and presents in the Chalet. When I came back I started my second month at my new job at Mart Visser. This fashion world is totally my thing.

I love your home...it's much more decorated than mine!! I can't believe you know Gretchen. Once again it goes to show you what a small world we live in. We'll def have to plan trips to visit!
When I graduated from University in December 2004, with my Master's and Bachelor's Degree, I decided that I wasn't ready to settle into a lifetime job in the U.S.A. Instead, I went to an International School Job Fair, and am now traveling the world, one International School at a time! I speak English, French, and Dutch, have learned Italian while living in Switzerland, and can't wait to pick up more languages along the way.
