Hi Jordan! Thanks for sending a "hi" via an email to your Mom. She's kept me updated and I've been reading your entries on this site. It sounds like you're having a blast. Home on Tuesday already? I guess five weeks flies when you're having fun. Many questions on your return. Enjoy your last few days and have a safe journey home.

Hi guys! Steve and I also went to Cory's play. He was awesome! We really enjoyed it! I'm guessing you will be in Belgium soon. Hopefully you have contacted Corrie to let her know when you will be arriving. You will be able to contact us from there as I know they have a computer. Hope you were able to take in some of the concert in Amsterdam. Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Love Mom

Hi George! Sounds like you're having a blast --- I am very jealous! We went and saw Cor-hey's play last night...it was very good and he was also very good in it --- you should be sad that you missed it. Anyways keep on having fun because you'll be home before you know and then you'll wish you were back there!
Be smart and safe --- Carly
PS ~ Don't cry but ........ they Xbox 360 is broken. For real --- there is no gaming here.

Hi Guys! Sounds like your having a great time. I would have loved to have a stein or two with you in the beer halls. Too bad you won't be able to make it to the festival in Amsterdam. It would have been fun. I guess you heard about Luc Bourdon. It is a tragedy. Too young to go.
Chris, don't forget to have some french fries and smota bolen (Sp?) from the street vendors while your in Belgium and of course a few good Belgian beers. Say hi to Corrie and Louis for us when you see them.
Detriot is up two games to one in hockey. The home teams have won all the games. Also, just in case you follow basketball it is a classic final Lakers vs. Celtics.
I hope that you enjoy the rest of your trip and we are all looking forward to seeing you both back home safe and sound.

Hey Jordan - Your mom just sent me your blog address so I hadn't read anything until now. Glad to hear the book has come in handy. Am I to believe that it has directed you to many a beer Hall? Anyways, I hope you know that I am using all of you as scouts for when I will have the guts to travel the world like you kids. Any old folks staying in those hostels? Have a blast on this last part of your journey.
Love
Auntie Roxanne

Hey Boys!
Wow times back home have been quite rough without you two, I've been to a few parties here and there but its just not the same without yas. Plus its no fun keeping your shoes, shirts, jeans, and house keys at the end of the night hahaha. SOunds like your having a blast though which is awsome to hear, and I wanna hear all above pg13 stories when you come back. And yes I am coming for sure when we go in our 20's, and we can check out all the places you guys missed! Jordan I'm kinda pessimisstic about us getting that job in edmonton, the guys sounds great, but he phoned me awhile back and never left a message, or email (which I gave to him), and hasnt tried to follow at all. I say we just screw the work and head to stampede or go on a roady somewhere instead. Chris I know your having a blast and drinking a ton of beers for me over there, and I'm glad you guys are enjoying the litre beers like I was talking about. Take tons of pictures and we should have a night where you two can share some stories and give me the play by play of the all the sick experiences you guys are probably having. By the way, Neil is back home and were all getting excited to get some pre-partyin on before our family vacation (which is also is in the last week of July, so for me and Chris it makes it hard to commit to the edmonton thing...damn, but as I stated before roady > working)
Peace boys, and Cheers, Gab

Hi Guys Wow! What a great message! I loved reading about all the great times you are having. Too bad about Prague but I guess that just means you will have to go again sometime! There is still lots of time on the phone card, so both of you feel free to call. We have to use those minutes up. I guess it's your turn to do the nest message Chris!! Miss you lots! Love, Mom
