over half way there

well, it's been a very busy two weeks and there has been so much to see and learn about. i am having a great time and have experienced more than i thought i would. The culture, the architecture, the history, and the flowers have been magnificent. i have tried and eaten things i never thought i would have and have lived to tell about it. The wines have been great. i have taken a lot of pictures and can't wait to get them developed. my professional experiences have been great. the most impacting visit has been my day with jawaad hajeem. what a wonderful and caring man. i will definately keep in touch with him and can't wait to tell the clubs about his efforts. I love this man! Ok, must get ready for dinner even though we just finished lunch three hours ago. see you all soon.
