I thought I would pass on the note I got from Alex this past week. He will be leaving us for a while - but I'll let him put it (with his permission) in his own words:
Hi Diane,
I shall not be back now until the fall. Argentina is calling for a month - my blogsite is www.lodgeatpinecove.blogspot.com and I shall be writing little observational essays, as I travel across that lovely land with my backpack - please send it on to the others if that is appropriate. In the fall I may well be off to Argentina for the winter and if not, Devon, UK or Victoria, B.C. I know, I know they are all such boring places but I am looking to find a spot with a bit more warmth and a place where I shall not be bothered a lot. I want to start "really" writing and if Argentina, then I shall also learn Spanish with the hope of reading Neruda, Marquez, Lorca, Borges and all the other great Spanish poets and authors in their own language. W then to see only glimpses of these giants of literature in our part of the world which is a pity.
So, thanks to everyone and I really mean that. You were welcoming, interesting, and full of humour.
All the best,
Alex
Just a footnote, Alex has my address and will try to send postcards and notes via snail mail when he can. Aside from that, be sure to check out his blog!
