HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!!!!!
I wish I were home to take you shopping, but I will make up for it when I am home in August!
 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CHAD WEATHERFORD AND CHIARA MEDICINA ON SUNDAY!!!
 
So last night was our final goodbye to Mark.
 
 

 
It was very sad.... this is sooooo hard watching people leave!
 
We all had a good night though, here are more pics: Mark's Going Away
 
One of the more interesting parts of the evening was when a group of us got into a political discussion about Bush and the US in general. It's not too often in LA that you get a Canadian (Michael),  a Swiss (Yvo), an Englishman (Mark) and a Danish guy(Ulrich), around a table to talk about world politics. It really emphasizes how isolated we are in the US. Our news truly focuses on US issues. It is refreshing to hear other points of view. Even when they are putting down Bush to a hard-line republican (me!). I won't go into the details but it was an intelligent conversation and very interesting. I wish everyone had a similar opportunity.
 
Have a great weekend!!! I'll see you in 3 more weeks!
