  1. I really hope you don't get "there" too quickly John, because I do love to read about your journey, and also because I hope you will still be there when I come back.
    Are these the chapter titles of an upcoming book? They are brilliant.
    By the way, is the barber with Parkinsons the one that cut my fringe? My hair "style" is still trying to recover from it and it's been a few months already...
    Um beijo my dear

  3. Elena: no, the Parkinsons barber was in Paraguay, although the one in Salvador was not much better. it was so brave of you to trust him with your fringe! ha ha ha. and as the song goes, "we'll meet again.."

    Mel: you're so close to freedom and new adventures, I wonder how can you sleep at night! November might be difficult but I'll do my best to join our spirits again. 3,2,1...go!
