It looks amazing!! I sent you an email, but I thought I would comment here too. The animals look so impressive I have to keep reminding myself of the scale- as you are so tall the jaguar is massive!! I like the photo of you wrestling one. And the stalking mono looks well scary. I love reading the accounts keep them coming. Cuidate y mandame un mensaje si tengas tiempo. Estoy pensando en ti x
A real life Dr Doolittle... Hey hun - love your blogs and it is great to hear about all your adventures. You're looking like a real love machine in the picture with yaguaru "looking seventies" - Fran would definetely fancy you!!! Take care and stay in touch Lucy XXXX
Welcome back :-) Good to read your latest exploits. I hope you will be able to settle just a little back in the UK in 2006 after all this! Take care. God bless you.
tienes razon hi my name is eric and i was interested in you blog about colombia...i recentlly got back from a two month vacation in colombia i went to be with my girlfriend and to learn the language...it was the first time i had ever been and i was excited and also nervous to go (partly because of the bad rap on the country) i came to reailize it was the greatest spot on earth!!
the aguardiente is delicious!
What a brave soul you are. Makes my trip to northern cyprus look very tame. Can't wait to read the book - palinesque style of course. Try to avoid flying if you can. Few dodgy planes out there. Back at school myself getting ready for the day job. Carry on exploring! God bless.
The Colombian Experience These diaries are brilliant, and evocative, and occasionally scary for a parent. How are you changing/developing/evolving in yourself? We eagerly await your next weblog. Thank you. God bless.
Awesome Mate, this looks amazing, am so very jealous. Will get there one day.
Looking forward to your return, which I am now terming the 'epoch of zeal'.
Though with less mating I hope.
Hehe Hey Alek, your latest blog had me in stitches! Believe me, I know the feeling, my homestay in Senegal is in many ways just as weird (but then the whole country is insane so its hard to distinguish)! Anyway, glad to hear you're having an interesting time, keep 'em coming and good luck. - Dr. Love
:D Good to hear from you :D Please let me know a contact number for you as I don't have one at the moment :( Good to hear things are better now :D - Stefan
Te felicito :) Alek, I just read a bit more of your blogs and realize what you are doing out there... Hope you do make it to my previous home, Paraguay, and that you come back in one piece. Muchos saludos y que aprendas bien el idioma! - Saba Hinrichs
Braids? Can't wait to see a photo! This trip is a bit more 'exciting' than I had anticipated for you. Stay safe. Have fun. I will write soon. Dad. - David (Alek's dad)
tri taxis I used to call em 'put puts' in india and in thailand too so I guess they might be called 'put puts'!!!! Great to read your stuff Alek, look forward to the next entry (can't for the life of me find the mullet pics - shall keep looking though) - Glen
Hurst 11 Hey Alek, so this is what you're up to. Really good to hear from you. You seem to be having fun helping out those kids, keep up the good work, perhaps the most sensible thing you've done since I met you (haha). Hope you're keeping tidy and washing up cos I dont remember you doing much of that while we lived together. How long are you in Ecuardo for, are you going to other countries, when do you get back...all these questions, they all await your answers. Be good and have a pint of local beer on me. G - G
Al 'columbus' maxwell. alright al,
thought id comment on your blog at last. cant really remember what you said in it even though i just read it. its odd as well, i thought itd only take a minute to read but the clock on my computer is two hours later than when i started reading it, and it appears i now have qwerty written backwards across my forehead. dunno where that came from. only messing - good to hear youre getting on ok. all the smellyhull massive say hi! we'll have to meet up soon for beer ...
au revoir (is that right yeah?)
DarREn.
ps, you gonna go to guantanamo? i hear they have lovely accomodation there. - Mr Darren
Alright Al (Alright Stef) Alright Al, good to finally see some pictorial evidence of your coverup (How are the deals coming along?) :P
Honestly though, good to see some pictures, kinda lonely at times :(
Hope you have a lot more fun and positive experiences and maybe find some time to make some more entries to your journal. - Stefan :) - Stefan

First Blog Like your blog-- I just discovered what one was--due to planning a trip to SA for April - July. Will be in Quito sometime in June/July. I teach English to Spanish people in my city, so I appreciate your efforts to learn Spanish! I'm cramming right now with a tutor. Myhusband had a similar experience in Cuernavaca, MX-- he stayed with the previous mayor of the city as a host family. And everyone LOVED Bill Clinton! I like your approach to the childrens' propensity to fight. You're a real ambassador! Good luck. Candy from Little Rock, AR, USA - Candy
Hey Hey Alek, Well sounds like your having a good time Mr. How did you get involved with the kids then? Had you organised it before you went away? And how the hell did you manage to end up living with the ex Finance Minister of Ecuador? lol.
Life ok here. I am now sitting in the very seat where you were working for Nick for a few weeks on module registration (yawns) easy but boring.
Ross, Steve, Lucy and I are meeting up in London mid-March to have a catch up and are meant to be doing something 'cultural' although I don't hold out much hope of that! lol.
Anyway keep in touch.
Rich
