Comments: Leah Baker forwarded your web site to me. All of our parents go to the same church. Your father and mine sing in the chior together. Leah was in San Diego visiting me and mentioned you tried to visit her in Bolivia. That would have been cool to get in touch with here there. Small World. Glad to see you still have your Tevas and am interested to know (as a nurse) if Effexor XR is allowing you to enjoy your travels more than you would without it.

Comments: Hi Matt, I know I am late, but there is lot stuff going on here, so that I haven't had time to write to you. I hope you have had a great trip from the Easter Island to Tahiti ;-) and then to New Zealand. I have seen our skube diving photos from the Easter Island. If you still have it, please sent it to me. Closely we could have meet again in Australia, because my cousin asked me to come with him. But after a year traveling, did't had the courage to leave again. But may be next year in Asia. Enjoy your trip, que te vaja super bien y nos vemos Raphael ;-)
