Hi Teva
Well here I am sitting in Ona's flat, listening to some pleasant music and writing to you. I arrrived yesterday and will leave on Thursday (March 30). I made a nice curry meal for Ona and Trish, we had a great time--good food, good wine and lots of talk. The scuba diving sounds really exciting and, I guess, by now you are on to some other adventure. Great speaking to you before my birthday, thank you for calling! Had a very nice party and, as always, your name came up witrh questions and some of your adventures were shared by Mari and I. You are far away BUT you are close to us, here, in our hearts.

Hey Teva
Great to hear from you recently and thank you for the lovely thoughtful 'Indian tat' which made its way to me yesterday... (-: Hope that all continues to be well with you. Its great to have Papa here and life is going well. Work is busy and remains a mix of challenges and joy filled moments. All else is going well and looking forward to going down to Brighton on the weekend.
Sending big love to you.
Ona xx

Greetings, Teva. Strange confusions in consciousness - seeing you standing at the gateway to Indochina, while we're sitting here at the gateway to a very cold out-of-doors in N. Scotland! Most of the snow has been and gone here but the icy winds remind us the winter ain't over yet. On the other hand, popped down to Universal Hall for a St. Patrick's gig at the weekend reminded me summer days aren't so far away either. Bet that's what you're doing out there in the big 'hot' really ... waiting for warmer weather to come back to the frozen north. Clocks go forward at the end of this week. Days getting longer/lighter. Aaaaah. Your travels are making us a little bit envious. Ever thinking of you. Huggly-wugglies from all we Stalwartian Forresians.

Hola hombre!
How goes tenderfoot? Sounds like all is well, was speaking to the barn dog yesterday and he's as edgy a provoked pittbull, man i wish i could make it out there to hook up witth the boys, but apear to have only cheap cloth lining my pockets, it's not easy rubbing one coin together. I met a mad Lithuanian though and my days have become a little less stresfull and work meerly a hobby, selah. Take the upmost ease my friend. kris

Oy, yoy yoy--as we would say in Yiddish!! As you already know, we were a little worried and, then, pleased to know that you were not hurt too badly. More tales to talk about, I guess. Thanks God for making sure my son wears his helmut!
Photos are great and it gives me a bit of a feeling of what you are up to and some of what you are seeing. I think I will pass commenting on the boy/girl---although (s)he was pretty cute. Where to next???
I am now counting days that I have remaining here at Findhorn. It has been a very good visit. I have been making some pretty tasty soups and tomorrow it is Pasta Fagioli (with Joshua!). It is strange to be in Scotland and not hae you here or near.
Thanks for checking in and sending us your news. ALL of us patiently await your next chapter!
Lots of love to you
Papa

Hey Teva!
Great to have an update and pleased to hear that you are recovering from all bumps and bruises... Looks like more amazing times and great pictures! Thanks. My life is going really well - off for a few days tomorrow - will be nice to have a break from work and getting out of town too (though don't know where - a surprise - very pleasing!) So all is good here. Work remains crazy and full - but not doing as much overtime so feel that have figured out the work life balance a bit better...
Big hello to everyone who reads this - love hearing what everyone is up to!
Sending big love. Ona x

To t-dog, wassup!!! Where are you??? No word? must be having fun then ;)
All is good in the burger still, Zoe is coming back over here at the beginning of april which is great, and keeping going with the PhD too. Me, Mark, Marcus & Colin are off snowboarding next week, so bring on the snow!! (I'm sure that's the last thing on your mind). Was speaking to Elizabeth, adn she was asking after you and your adventures. She said she will be in Bali for the first 2 weeks in April, and offered an open invitation for you to be pampered in her villa with food/cooks/driver/spa and an open bar if you are in the area. You can check it out at: http://www.balivillas.com/villas/dewata1/index.html. Might be worth making a detoour. Anyway, if you think you might, let me know and I'll pass it on.
Anyway, hope life is treating you good buddy,
Mike

Hey Teva,
Nice to catch up on your travel log again and see what you've been up to. The photo's are great, glad to see you ditched the tash. Looking good buddy. Things here are busy but good. We are now on week 3 of the training and boy am I ready for a holiday.....Thailand looks dreamy from here, but I can't see that happening on the week I will have off at the end of the training, so I'll probably head out to Erraid for a refresh. Anyway miss you heaps. keep writing, when do you go to New zealand? Do you still need Chri's email. Also I was thinking of Trudy she worked at Elephant house too Ill see if I can russle up some addresses for you. anyway got to get back to session.oof.

TEVA!!!
your travels sound incredible. i can only hope to one day embark on an adventure as large as seeing the world in one year. for now, i'm sticking to south america. your last postcard said you're going to be on a motorcycle in south america and i'm studying in chile! I'm in Valparaiso which is BEAUTIFUL...if you like beaches or music or walking or meeting incredible spanish-speaking folk, PLEASE email me so we can get together! ([email protected]) i have internet access fairly often so i'll be in touch if you'd like. be safe and be well and i hope to hear from you!

Hey Teva--well, I guess you said that you would be "out of range" for a bit BUT I keep checking looking for a hint of what you are doing. Having a great time here at Findhorn with Meera. It snowed the last couple of days and today there was no school (possibly none tomorrow, as well). You can imagine Meera's delight!
Lee arrived today and it is great to have him around. Been seeing Zoe, here and there, but she is really busy with the ecovillage training. Life goes on, obla-di, obla-dah...
Hope you are having a good time and just wanted to say hi and send love.

Sawadii-kha, dichan chew Ali kha, dichan poot Thai mai dai....or something like that!! It seems like yesterday that I spent my year there, teachin in Nakhon Sawan (the lonely planet has nothing much to say about the place but I tell you some fine folks live in NS and there is a big riverside market and a wee club - all you need and more!) I remember bursting my knee open on a bike, but then a scar's a story...just be safe farang! Loads of love to you Teva, hope you make it to BC that would be magic!
