Keep having fun and sorry you ran out of film in your camera LOL

Wow , great alndscapes - looked like something out of an old western - should there have been more?

Great blog - really glad to catch up on what you two are up to. I'm afraid though that the trip sounds a little unappealing to oldies like me - it must have bee spectacular, but give me a warm bed and paved roads anytime

Footy update.Four in a row for the Pies with a 23 point win over the Swans in Sydney.We led early despite losing Pendlebury wit a knee in the opening minute.The Swans hit the lead for the first time late in the third quarter but three last quarter goals by Leon Davis saw us home.Didak B.O.G,
