... to report that we are in their area. I think you get a longer sentence if you hit one than for murder. Did you know, they are called Right Whales because in the days of whalers being big business, they were the easiest whale to catch, because they were slow and travelled in groups, so they would say "These are the 'Right&#8217; whales to catch!" Bit of history there for you, so you can wake up now.<br><br>I did my washing and drying today, I might iron tomorrow.

... in Paris but caught on, two hours later. Unknown to me they don't put your check bagages on your new flight, so had to wait in Madrid for four hours. Good note it is a really nice day in Madrid, so enjoyed that. i must say that the French and the Spanish are really friendly even though I am butchering their language

With the frustration of not getting internet connections, problems with the program etc and lack of time to work on it I wondered if I ever would catch up.

There is only one Shaker community active today at Sabbathday Lake in Maine.

(Sorry guys, there's no pictures of the bikini-clad young women who also tended to hang out sunbathing by the pool, you'll just have to use your imagination ;-) ).
