There are loooads of photos to download from our time in Angel Fals and Bolivar, but were having trouble finding somewhere where we can download them, so keep on coming back and they will be here. We are heading over to Brazil now, into the heart of the Amazon. We should be in Manaus in two days so we will try again then.

Wish you were here and we were there ! your view looks a lot better than ours. We have got sand (40 ton of sharp sand in the back garden) but it doesn't quite compare with those Venezualan beaches. Johns doing quite well, but he's only managed to demolish one house so far. You will be happy to know this one still intact. Seriously, all the best to you both for safe and happy travelling.

Chris - It is a pleasure to tell you that Man U lost to Chelsea at the weekend - By the way - are you not allowed to use this message board? - lets see some comments, and more pictures. We're very disappointed - one lousy picture for a whole week of travelling - its just not good enough.

Carrie we assume from your comments you met Chris and Carol for the first time recently!!!!!!!!! - Did Chris pay you to write your comments?? As you seem to have discovered Carol is a perfectly normal person, Chris on the other hand is quite unique

Hey ya'll, looks like you're doing good on your travels! Are you gonna be coming back with braids in your hair and various piercings?!?! hehe. Have visited The Walls unit in Huntsville which is where death row prisoners are executed. Went in the room where it happens, saw the gurney, equipment etc. It was very sad. Been getting into politics alot here! Went to a Democratic wine tasting evening at the weekend and my friend and I have decided to start campaining when we get home lol =) Going to visit some prisoners on death row in the week. We're working on an appeal case at the mo, trying to get our guy off death row. It's all very interesting out here. I've got all my friends interested in your travels and they love the website =) Anyways better go! Carry on havin a fantastic time, lots of love and hugs, Siobhan xxx

Just a quick note to see how you two are surviving the withdrawal pains are you feeling upon my sudden absence (I know it's tough!)
Chris: The plane ride was quite nice and even enjoyable. I owe you- Thanks!
Carol: You are in my thoughts and prayers. I imagine handling Chris alone can be quite a task especially when he?s caliente!!!!!
In all seriousness?..I feel truly blessed to have met you two and would endure a million of Graciela?s dinners if it meant I could share your company again.
YOU GUYS ROCK!
You haven?t seen that last of me. (that?s a threat AND a promise)
Take care of each other. I?ll be in touch, Carrie

Hi again. In the excitement of actually doing this for the first time, forgot to say WE LOVE YOU BOTH!!!!!!!!! Hugs and kisses from us to you. Till next time...........

Hi there. Hope both are well. Everything looks great. We have set up a hot mail address and sent you a message. we will log on at regular times now. Look after one another.

Hi - impressed or whot!!! Actually found you (our e-mail not working properly! so what's new!)
There it was gone - no house left in one morning! Lots of interest.
How's you both - enjoying your amazing start for the next year - lucky yous! (guess who's already been into your website - got it in one! Lynn & Braandon). How about Margarita - lovely girls Chris - forgot you don't look!

Getting ready for the 40th - amazing fencing to give more privacy - looking good - of course!

Must go - back to work!!! remember!!!!

Much love to you both - mssing you madly!

Chris - Just in case you don't get the footy results - last nights result was Dinamo Bucharest 1 - Man U 2 (champions league)

Sorry I could not make your leaving bash! Carol looks like a real "pirate" in the head gear BUT we all know who the real pirate is...dont we Chris. Hope you enjoyed your family lunch last Saturday? By the way...its peeing it down here!

You look as though you are having a great time - I still think you could have made room for me in your case! Everyone here is waiting for the announcements re next stage of appointments (w/c 16th), then the rest of us should know what is going to happen to us. Off to Milan next week with my skin and blister, Rita - its her birthday and we fancied a few days away. Saw Ana last week - seems to be happy in her new job. Getting stuck into Powerpoint - can't say I'm the keyboard equivalent of Picasso but from little acorns.... not much else happening (well not that I want to share with the thousands that are viewing this message board!) Take care of yourselves and keep the hammock swinging - and I agree - when are we going to see a pic of Chris????

Beunos Dias amigo, glad to hear you're both settling quickly in to the laid back lifestyle, although I'm sure it'd be hard to see any difference in Chris!! I'll leave you with an old Scots proverb to see you through the months ahead "What use is happiness, it can't buy you money", Slainte. :^)
