Living the Dream

Living The Dream, That was the name we selected when we set off on our first adventure out of Canada in November, 2006. Eight short months, and eight countries later, the love of my life, Nastassia Kunz was taken from me in a tragic bus accident just outside Sucre, Bolivia.

Welcome back from the "beginning of time" Glad to hear you had such a unique life happening. Trust the leg injury is healing. Ben, the best I can do for Corona seems to be .55cents-just fine with me. I am rationing my Nicaraguan Cigars and as Gail says I must be getting 2 hrs out of each one. Mom says, she agrees that a higher force was looking after you when we saw those huge waves. Wonderful photos. Love you both, Big Daddy

In the words of a great Canadian, and my personal friend Don Cherry you two "are a couple of real beauties"
That Darwin fellow sure had the right idea settling on those islands to gather his thoughts. Hope the leg is healing well, but you get a bit of a scare because that is one incredible story that will have to be told again and again. Take care nice posin Nas
