livin la vida loca...or something like that...

Hi from Rio! we~re in shorts and sandals and heading to the beach. sweet days indeed. (sorry ~bout the punctuation but i can~t find an apostrophe on this keyboard).

so the story about why our email addy~s don~t work is a long one. and not all that interesting. suffice to say the email addy~s we said we~d be using no longer work. my new one is kathrynlagden@hotmail.com. kirk is outside drinking what we think might be a large espresso and eating a pastry. but i~m sure he~ll put a note up once he~s set up.

thanks for the bday wishes. spent it atop a mountain watching the lights of the city come on. and then to a portugese restaurant for vino and fish.

the beach beckons...
