I forgot to mention that all the dancing and walking in the rain has developed me a very deep and full cough. Think I`m getting the flu too. Woke 740 and lay there feeling terrible for a while (I would have tried to go to the beach if it was sunny but no, drizzly again).

The long delayed updates (at least some of them) are coming up soon folks. And I am uploading pictures of the past days as we speak.

I was even more excited when I realized that I was going to be in the capital for all the festivities. All I could think was barbe...

Hi Guys Just a quick hello. My trip to the schools was cancelled on saturday as the group's driver, Hugo, wasn't available and it was too dangerous to go without him.
