Yeah, it has been eventful 24hours! I am getting over it now, I got some really sweet emails from my REAL friends at work today when I told them about it. Obviously I didn't tell the bride's circle of friends,just in case, I didn't want to bring their loyalty into question, I really don't know how the bride and I can ever have a normal relationship again though...
The volunteering sounds fantastic, I really wish I had done a gap year when I qualified! I am too old now! (way past it at 28) Padhraig and I still talk about doing our "world trip" one of these days, I read the Isabel Allende books- (Have you read any of them?) and desperately want to go to Chile now and I have heard that Argentina is amazing, and Peru. I am really interested in all the inca and aztec civilisations too. How are you organising the volunteering because I would SERIOUSLY be interested in doing something like that!
I did French in college and was almost fluent at that but I really want to learn Spanish and am pretty good at languages so hopefully I will pick it up!
I don't have Instant Messenger at the moment, must set it up, I have a hotmail account but it may be dead...I'll go check!
