A Farewell Mexican
I have just spent a great early evening with Julie and her friend, Rochelle. We looked around the the vintage sections of Kensington Market and browsed through unusual trinket shops in Chinatown. The smells brought me back to Hong Kong and Malaysia....
We went to this great Mexican restuarant called 'Sneaky Peets'. It reminded me of my student life...a dark bar with graffiti covered walls and yet the food was stunning!
After many years of fertility treatment, Rochelle is pregnant...with twins! I think I was very fortunate to spend my last evening in great company.
I took the street car and subway home, trying to take in as much of the city I could...this has been an amazing adventure and far more than memories will result in these almost 8 wonderful weeks!
I'm not leaving for the airport until noon so I intend to take full advantage of the beautiful pool, sauna and spa after a well deserved late start!
I'm going to load the contents of MP3 onto a CD (a mixture of old and new wih lots of Razorlight and New Order for good measure) so I also have some of the sounds that accompanied some very long car, bus and boat journeys.....Songs have a funny way of marking significant points of your life...I'm pleased to say I will be able to play them all again and recall some great times.
I intend to add photos to this blog when I return to throw some additional light on the the many stories told and the days that have unfolded far too quickly.

Welcome Home
Hope to see you soon
-xx-
I'm going to really miss reading your blog every day... you write beautifully and I feel as though I have experienced everything with you. It will be great to see the pictures, but I already have so many images in my mind, that if I never see them, it really won't make any difference.
I will miss your travelogues, but it will be great to see you again.
I hope you have/had a safe trip home, I look forward to catching up with you soon.
Love & hugs
Suzanne
P.S. As you want to get back into theatre... there are auditions at TTC on Sunday for a 'Noel & Cole' evening (Noel Coward & Cole Porter) - 6pm on at the theatre, sing 2 contrasting songs. I auditioned last week; it'd be great to do a show together again! More details in 'Theatre' or phone me and I'll fill you in.

Hope you had a good flight home. Looking forward to hearing more about it all over coffee (in work time obviously!)& seeing your photos. I had to laugh at the thought of being 'old' & going skinny dipping - who cares anyway! I think most of us worry too much about stuff so good for them.
Take care
