Thanksgiving Paris, I have been getting your messages, they are funny and very informative. I loved the one about the agresive monkeys. I just went to France's house for thanksgiving. The majority of our clan was there. It was great, the snow god gave us a few inches of snow it was beautiful.
northrops Paris The photos and commments were wonderful. I laughed at the monkeys,and loved all the adventures. China looks beautiful, I think you are so lucky to get your education up close and personel. Lawrence was cancer free last operation and I pray he stays that way. Lawrence has signed up for college again and is out having fun with friends. Family shared all emails from you and Natalie at Thankgiving at France's house this year. A sprinkling of snow and lots of loving family made it a true thankful day.
RESPONCE 12-3-05 Paris,
It is fantastic that you are keeping up on you Blog site. We wait in great anticipitation for your latest adventures. you certainally are experiancing many diffrent life stiles - I have a feeling that this will have an impact on the way you view the word for the rest of your life!! Did you have any dog meat? (if so, did it taste like chicken?) I hope you guys are all staying healthy - You all look great. Nothing really new back in the States - We finally got a big rain storm that will mean snow in the mountains - should be a good ski season.

14 november 2005 Hi Paris,
is so nice to hear from you, I wish I was there too...right now I'm in Italy for a short visit. Valentina and Vanessa are in Boulder. To bad you are not in this part of the world or we could have met.
say hi to your parents.
Love Paola
Hi Paris. Glad to hear about some of your adventures in Japan. Also liked your pictures. It looks like it is very interesting. Here, it has been nice but getting colder. We are going to visit Alex around Boston for Thanksgiving. Dan turned 16 and is driving. Hi from all of us, and say hi to your folks. Love,Laura
hey you guys!!! This is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Paris, you could be a travel reporter, watch out for the biting monkeys, Lake could tell you something about them, miss you guys, a big hug and kiss from Bretteca
sounds like fun Hi Paris, Your trip sounds fabulous. good thing you figured out how to deal with the monkeys. I don't think Natalie is a slave driver, but I'm sure she gives you alot of work. Love your pics! Say hi to all!Sharon
rice with chopsticks? rice with chopsticks can be very hard. Here's a hint: pick up the bowl and place it very close to your mouth, then start shoveling. Less effort that way.
perfect window into our family i'm glad to hear that everything is going accordingly...Paris you paint a very accurate picture of the family. Any romance with a spacial young...er, I mean very old lady? Happy birthday again bro and I think you should call Natalie sensei. Good luck to you all! David- que te vayas bien.
