This is so strange. I didn't even hear about her death until just a couple of days ago because I've been trekking in Lesotho, in the Drakensberg mountains, and not getting any news (we didn't even have electricity or running water where we stayed, let alone newspapers or internet). If you want to see where I was, google Malealea, Sani Pass and Sungubala.
Now I'm back in civilization in cape town, which is a nice break. So, greetings from South Africa. Tomorrow I'm off to Stellenbosch to do some serious wine drinking. Today I hiked around the cape of good hope. Pretty cool. If someone could post the latest news I should hear about, that would be great. That way I'll be caught up when I get internet access. Not sure when that will be though. Happy New Year everyone! On 1/7/08, Amy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'll have to recheck my paper for the disclaimer.
