Re: LOVELY PHOTOS AND COMMENTS
Thanks Maree & Tom. You're right, it wasn't an easy task - having to learn Spanish in that environment. What, with the Brazilian twins, Swedish girls, Argentinian teacher and my gorgeous wife! Glad to hear all is well in Ballinagore. We are getting to ready to leave Buenos Aires tomorrow to head down to Patagonia. I'll be able to start the Buenos Aires blog on the 18 hour bus journey! X O

Oh My!
Hello Sarah and Bref, Sarah, your mom sent me the blog. It has been years since we've seen each other, as you were in high school and you took care of our daughter "Emily, who is now about to graduate from college in May. I've only checked out the Montevideo blog so far, but it is a lovely piece to savor, and I'm so very happy for you and your husband to have this experience. Wishing you well, April
