Well, it looks like Gustav is heading into the Gulf without causing damage to the Yucatan. Terrible that it seems to be going straight to N.O.
I do leave in the morning, 5 a.m. ride out of Akumal to the Cancun airport, then trough Atlanta, Paris and then Toulouse. Got the car rented and ready to go. I'll take lots of photos and post them when I get back.
Hugs to all

Maybe I won't be going to France after all, we'll have to see about Huricane Gustov, whether it comes close enough to Cancun to cancel flights. I am supposed to leave saturday morning at 8, just when Gustov is passing the penninsula!

Good time to let you know I'll be in France from 30 August to 10 September. Going to the south this time. I've never been to Southern France, except on the train to Barcelona, at about 4 in the morning. I'm going with some friends and we'll arrive in Toulouse, rent a car and go all the way to Monaco, have a look around (no spending any money anywhere near Monaco), then through Aix en Provence and over to the French Pyrenees, then into Spain. The idea is to go to the origins of the SN and D'Olive families. Mom and Daddy went in 1995. I'll keep you posted when I can, from the trip.

Hey Family and Friends,

Well, I finally decided to set up a personal blog, to be able to send news and communicate with you on a regular basis. I know I should be sending out personal e-mails to you on a regular basis, but my days are crazy and long and I am usually very tired or almost blind by the time I can get to personal things. I'm doing this in English because I can reach more people this way, so please forgive me all my friends and family of the Spanish-speaking world. Maybe it'll be bilingual, depending on my mood or message. I'm just lucky I got this thing set up, as anyting related to a computer or internet is not my strength. Hang on, let's see where this goes.

Hugs, Paul
