We COULD NOT ask for better friendships than the ones we've developed here.

Amy and Clare share a laugh on the trail

Clare's service with the European Volunteer Service is almost up (she's a brit) and the project that brought Andy here from Washington is also wrapping up this month. We'll see them both again, somewhere, but it's sad to part after a great year.
Please forgive Tom's inattention to the first line of the entry. He did not intend to imply that we could ask for anything more from the friends we have here, he just didn't get around to typing the "n't" after the "could". And, before we get any guff from any of our OTHER friends, we love you all equally. We love each and every one of you with the exact same dedication and fervor. None of you are any better than any other of you; some of you are just more attractive ;-) ~amy
Wait - you "could ask" for better friendships? Ouch painful! Don't feel free to visit me where ever I end up, wait no I mean - feel free :-)
Andy
