Good one Scott, You are keeping me entertained. That is pretty easy though.

Mal and Clark, Keep up the good work. No grass growing under your feet. (no pun intended Clark) I love you both Have more fun! M

Mal-You know I am on board for you to fulfill your dream job of starting a Laundry Mat/African Travel Agency/Bar. Honestly, after all the time I have spent in Atlanta this last year, I can't believe that one doesn't all ready exist.You are a real visionary sweetie.On a seperate note, I think it is about time you wrap up this out of the country nonsense.Case and point, while you have been gone, the US free market system has been shaken to its core and completely thrown out of equilibrium.About the time you left for Europe, domestic demand for Wine and Vodka dropped by nearly 50% across the board. Bottles of Vodka and Wine in the states are now selling for pennies on the dollar and manufactures are being forced to take drastic actions to move product and quell this hyper-supply.These companies have found a little relief by shipping their product overseas.In fact, this mornings front page of the Wall Street Journal had a story talking about a rash wave of alcohol shortages across Belgium, Amsterdam, Venice….ohhh wait, CCN.com just reported the following headline; "ROME TAPPED OUT: It may not have been built in a day but it was certainly drank in a day." Have you notice any change in consumer behavior over there? You are in the middle of history.Let me know, Miss you.SW

HI GUYS, WHAT DOING??? Its time to post and put more pictures on. Love you both and miss you

Clark and Mallory,

Happy Birthday, Mallory! I guess I'm getting that in a little late. Happy belated Birthday, Mallory. It looks like a great time. Too bad about that, from what I read in your other messages, unmentionable incident within 5 hours of your arrival. I guess I have only one question concerning that, How does it 'feel' to be pickpocketed? Sorry if I bring up a sore subject and I'm sorry about 'it'. Put it all behind you, as I'm sure you have, and have a crazy rest of the trip. Love, Unca' Tom
