Just a real quickie to wish you both a wonderful last few days in paradise. Cant believe 6 months is over already.........

These last photos were totally stunning. The pictures of those birds and their colours - ein milim. We went to a very similar bird park in the Cape during our trip last year and also saw a multitude of South American birds and parrots that were flying around this amazing wild reserve with a type of netting covering the whole park which enclosed them in a specific area, but gave the visitor a feeling that they were in the wild.

Dani & Ben found out last week that they are having a baby boy. Much excitement all round. Ben was just here or 4 days over the weekend and all being well, will come home for pesach too.

See you next Saturday. Neshikot and hibukim to you both.

I was about to ask when you were getting home :-). Looks like you had/having an amazing time and I can't wait to hear about it in person. Looking forward to seeing you in a couple of months.

And so the countdown really gets underway. We are all waiting for your to come home already, although you both seem to be going from one wonderful adventure to another. It all looks so exciting and totally incredible. This is sure going to be one trip with memories to last an entire lifetime.

All is well with us. We are almost, almost a complete family again. Dani arrived home yesterday and we had a small dinner for her last night to welcome her home. She looks great and if you look really hard, you can see the smallest evidence of her 5month "bump". She is feeling fine too - we just all wish that both her and Ben had returned together. But pg, the time will pass quickly and soon the last piece of the family will be home for good.

It really is - "see you soon", so all thats left is to wish you the best time for the last leg of your journey. Keep making memories - they last a lifetime.

Love and a hug to you both as always,

LYN

30 days 4 hours and 21 minutes...

It is good idea to go to the other sde of the planet to see the other side of the moon - I wondr have you ever consider visit the israeli star observatory

See you soon sand eaters

Hi there!

It looks like you two are having an amazing time... when are you coming back already??

Everything here is the same so don't hurry home :) I am on semester break for a bit, i go back to school in the middle of March. Arnon and I are in the new "yechida", so when you come back you are invited.

Keep having a good time and enjoy yourselves.

Love, Keren.

35 days 4 hours and 36 minutes before landing back home

Guy-ah! love the beard! awesome photos. stunned by the condor. what a trip. loking forward to seeing you

Morning Guy & Hagar,

Heard from your mom yesterday that you have actually booked your return date. We are all so excited and cannot wait to see you and hear more in depth stories about this wonderful adventure.

Those birds are truly awesome. Loved the colourful costumes the locals wear and definitely agree with Truffle - you should both seriously consider asking whether you could borrow/buy those gorgeous smelling outfits for the wedding. What a hit that would be with everyone - can you imagine. Dani comes home next saturday and we are all counting the seconds already. Hard to believe she is 18 weeks into her pregnancy. Even harder to conceive of the fact that she is going to be a mommy and we are going to be grandparents.... All great and exciting things coming up in the next few months so we have lots to look forward to.

We all send you love, hugs and kisses. Enjoy the last leg of your journey. Hard to believe, its almost over already.....

Lyn

I love the outfits - maybe you can borrow them and wear them to the wedding. Merav would be so pleased.

The condors are amazing - I've never seen such huge birds, butthey shouldnt think they are so special - if I lie down and stretch myself to my fullest length, and puff up my beautiful fluffy fur, I am just as big as them, and I have blue eyes!!- Smirk, giggle

love Truffle xx

Hi!

Talya is learning about the Incas for history and prepared a whole lecture for her class yesterday! She has to give the talk this week sometime - so it is really good to get your inside info!

Travel safely,

Corinne

Hi to you both,

I hope you got my reply to your e-mail!!! Machu Pichu looks even better than I had imagined. Has such a mystical aire about it and I think its one of the places in that part of the world I have always wanted to visit. Wonder whether we will ever get there before we need walkers and wheelchairs...... And those pancakes at Jack's - well no explanation needed there. I can tell you that if Dave headed to Central and South America, I think he could survive solely on chocolates and desserts - certainly judging by what you guys seem to have found along the way. Yum........

xxxxx from us all as always xxxxx

Hey Guy and Hagar,

I haven't writtenfor ages,sort of been busy with grooming myself - you know washing, trimming my nails, chasing the black and white c reature who thinks she's a cat - look who thinks she's a cat!!

Wow - the galapagos was amazing, but yo are right, at least from the pictures anyway, the macchu pichu is something from another world.YOur description of it is quite amazing, but wow, seeing it and beingk there must be incredible. What are those furry creatures in the background (no, not you), the four legged ones on the terraces - they look quite interesting, even although not neartly as beautiful as me!!

All things here running smoothly- but we all miss you both!!

Purrs, and hugs, Truffle
