SAY SO

John Geraets keeps in touch by postcard. The latest from Pokhara [dated 22 May '05] arrived 8 June, that's pretty good -- with a photo of the lake & behind that snow topped Annapurna Ranges, each peak named and with its height in metres. 'quiet people, thunderous rains, and it's wonderful!. I've managed to encourage Karen into the water with a blow-up meditation cushion 'floatie' so we take our daily lake swims and are so glad to be physically active and well again' He mentions 'good books to read' , doesn't mention what he's writing. They'll be heading for Kathmandu any time now.

Sophie & Jonathan are in touch frequently by e-mail from Spain, esepcially nice messages abt food in San Sebastian.

Hit the town for some pintxos, first place OK the second one a lot better but the bar we went to today is VERY good, fantastic combination of flavours, eg thin slice of fried aubergine, thin slice of cheese, jamon, more aubergine and roast green pepper on bread. or how about a crostini with two salted anchovies and manchego cheese and a sundried tomato and half a cherry tomato. YUM.
And a good menu del dia too. Duck legs with pear puree, hake BEAUTIFULLY cooked, so tender and delicious in a light vinagrette, puddings of creme caramel, fig icecream and fresh nectarines etc etc etc etc.
