25.02 Old Friends
Elephant, Fontainebleau

Happy Reunion
We've missed nothing more than our family and friends during our travels; but fortunately, we've been lucky enough to have some of them show up along the way. A couple days back, our bay area friends Heather and Rowan gave us a surprise visit on their way down to Spain. We were just as excited as Kona to have them around. - rp

10.02 Carnival
Altdorf, Switzerland

Vogelsang (Bird Song)
It's Carnival time here in Europe - the one holiday that hasn't been appropriated in the United States for use by Hallmark Inc.; although New Orleans has done the frat boys proud with its version - Mardi Gras. Over here it is a week long party sometimes accompanied by a week off of work. It's like labor day weekend on european Hans and Franz steriods. We were lucky to hook up with the Aldorf crew for their best Carnival night - a costume party in a converted wine cellar. Great people and a great party; and who can forget both Michi Tresh and Isaac Caldiero in leotards. -ch
