Wow nice pics...you want a work out all you have to do is those steps to the church everyday and that would be a work out in itself...mind you I sure as hell wouldn't be able to do it! LOL So you teach 2 priests...and what is it that you are teaching them English? I have a short memory you probably already told us in a previous blog.
