Hello everyone, thank you for all the support these last few months. We are on our way out and should be in the states by the end of the month, but we will see. Look forward to seeing you all again and thank you again for everything.

Hello everyone, just got back to the dam. Spent the last four weeks living in an abandoned school in the city of Hit. It was just fantastic. It is getting hotter here, I didn't think that was possible but it is somehow, I think someone saw the devil walking around asking if there was anywhere to cool off. We are into the home strech here, we are getting scattered dates of when we get out of here but I really can't say when for sure. And my time is up on the computer so I have to go. Thanks for everything everyone and I will try to get ahold of some of the people I haven't been able to yet. Thanks again.
Andy

hey andy, havent written you in awhile. im still in europe, gonna be in italy for a few more days then back to cbus to find a place to live. cant say that i have much to report, consdering i havent seen anyone in 3 weeks. ive introduced italians to dave chappelle, the family im staying with is in love with him, as they should be. well as soon as i explain who lil jon is. greece was interestng, very touristy. its amazing the cultural differences, the brits are loud drunk and offensive 24/7...i like them, the italians are much more reserved, although the 4 hour dinners are a bit much for me theyre good times. anywho, ill write when i get back. glad your tour is finally wrapping up

love mom

Andy, Hope all is going well. I am struggling with the heat here, can't believe how hot it is for you, so I should not be such a baby, huh? Please stay safe, we are on the count down for your return!
Waiting to hear about return to the states. Take care, Jay Kohr

Hi Andy,
Guess you're back at the dam by now, so will get a quick note off to you. We've all had a hot summer in the states so far - up here in NW MN we had 9 days of 90+ degrees. Hot for us anyway. And very little rain. Pretty soon we'll all be lookin' at sand! My wrist is healing up, but the summer is shot, so that's a bummer. Oh well, guess I will be more careful in the future. Sure hope you're taking care, and will be glad to see you at home soon!! Love, Auntie Linda

Hey Andy,
How are you doing? I hope everything is going really well. I am thinking about and praying for you. I can't wait til we get to hangout someday soon, I hope. Caroline and I really want to come see you next time you're home. (We will fly to wherever you are.) Do you know the next time you might be back? Let me know if you do. We really missed you at the wedding last year, but are really proud of you. If you get a chance, I would love to hear from you. My e-mail address is charck4@aol.com. Get home safe Andy.
Take care and best wishes,
Mike Johnson
