Great pics--thanks! You were a brave eater... So, if you had women there working as part of your group would they have to go eat in a tent by themselves, or would they have been included at the meal with all of you?

Pls say "hi" to my old friends...
Great to read your blogs again, Ted! It sounds like you're making the very most of your time there (aside from work), as usual. It's fun to see the photos ... thanks for taking the time to share them (nothwithstanding the effort required). In stark contrast, as you no doubt know we've had snowstorms here in the US - and a FOOT of snow in Dallas! Never thought I'd see that! I raced around with my camera and tripod to document this unique event. If this note reaches you before you leave, please say "hi" to Peter and Denes for me - it's been a long time between drinks :-)

Time Between Drinks
For some reason, this website now doesn't display who wrote the comment, but I'm guessing it's you Heather. Sorry, but I'm now in Amsterdam. About your comments that it's been a long time between drinks.... it's even longer when you are in The Kingdom. LOL.
