Welcome Home Good to hear you are safely back on Canadian soil. We have been having great weather for April George Crawford is going with me to Edmonton next Friday for 10 days. My Mother passed away suddenly on Feb. 28. When one is 91 years passed and to go so quickly with conjestive heart failure - one can't ask for anything better. Hear from you soon. Happy Easter.
Happy Easter Hi Alan,
Welcome back to Canada. Thanks for sharing all those experiences with us. It has been a very interesting read and the descriptions of all things made me feel the country and the people a little bit more.
Happy Easter Alan to you and your family.
Safe Journey Allan
You have had exciting time with many very interesting episodes but it is coming to the time when you will be coming back; We are wishing that you have a safe journey home;
Holy Cow! You have been very busy, Alan! We were just wondering what you were up to as we hadn't heard from you for awhile.....Enjoy Tikal and those enchanting chicken buses :-)
Almost as warm Hola Allan!
Your Esterhazy Cubs kicked my Yorkton Cubs to the curb at the Melville Kub Kars. It's almost as warm here as it is there (well maybe not quite) as the snow is finally melting and puddles are invading the playgrounds. Speaking of which, do they have playgrounds like ours down there? Hope your foot is all healed up!
Keep the news coming. All is well in Sask - thawing a little but more snow in the forecast for Monday. What experincesdyou are having!
See you when you get home.
Darlene

Home from the Mam Ruins. The journeys you are taking are as educational as your descriptions of the places that you actually reach. The travel and the people, the sights and the sounds and the smells do seem to come alive with your words. Take care Alan.
Hang In there Fryor Duck Hope your health and heels are still holding out. The experiences you are having sound very life altering in some ways. Thanks again for sharing.
hello from melfort Alan,

what an adventure! Alan,
Wow! You are having quite an adventure in all ways. It's been great being able to read about your full days and the many challenges you have faced and surmounted. Continue to keep up your spirits and stay healthy.
I look forward to your next message.
Know how you feel. Not bieng able to communicate reminds me of trips to Chezh Republic, Mexico and Dom Republic,most people are eager to communicate and friendly.You are not missing any spring weather here.this past week it has been -24 at night and -10 in the daytime with some wind to make uncomfortable for icefishing.Just one day with no wind and it was apleasure to go fishing in the bright sun and clean air.
We are reading your stories Howdy Alan, Just a quick note to tell you we are reading all your stories, and hope you are taking lots of photos. Bryan - Yorkton.
hi from gerald It's good to read your news. I envy the experiences and the travel, not the scarey stuff or the health problems. Do be safe. Every time I hear about recent historical events of great importance (the problems in Guatemala in 83) I wonder where my head was when this was actually happening. We are so unaware of the plight of so much of mankind. Do I live in a self-centered box or do we just not get honest reporting to our country? A little of both, I suspect.
And a new language... way to go, Al! That would be a lot of fun.
Things go well here. We hope the same for you, go well,
Jeannette
ive been reading hi al me and my dad and mom were watching the blogs flow by and i didnt realy get as much info from it as they did so basicly this is a question.
March 12th 2006 Hi Alan, the information is great- wish you could say the same about your foot. I was reviewing my information on feet and blisters- not that you haven't probably already done this- so Remember blisters are caused by wetness, heat, friction and fungal infection. Washing your feet every night and rubbing lightly with a terry-cloth towel, clean socks everyday with double socks if doing a considerable amount of walking, anti-fungal powders in your shoes and sandals as well as doing a doughnut type of padding around the blister may help.
Still can't find the pictures on your site http://agringoduck.blogspot.com but will look forward to any disks that you can burn and bring back.
Sunny and beautiful here today- I have to finish decorating a cake for my baby sister and her husband who both just turned 40 (remember when that sounded old? I can't seem to anymore!) Take care Fryor. Bonnie
March 12th 2006- Consise and to the point I can see your days are continuing to be exciting and full. Hope the visit to the nature preserve goes well. Looking forward to your comments. Bonnie
March 12th 2006 - Taking care Hi Fryor, sounds like you are absorbing much and processing it as fast as the hard drive can handle. Be sure to take care of that foot- your Scouting first aid should come in handy. Looking forward to seeing pictures now or when you return. This journal is wonderful to read. Thanks for doing it. Bonnie
March 12 2006 Glad to here you are "finding" your way down there. Please say hi to your host family from our Scouts here in Yorkton. We've been skiing at Aesissippi yesterday and had a blast. I started my new job with First Nations Indian Health Branch in Regina - a great bunch. Love the information on this and will keep reading. Bonnie
