Looking Up

Many of you may know but some might not N8 loves any form of tobacco and or nicotine. I have always loved chewing tobacco, but I don't really like what it does to my mouth. I found snuss in Denver before I left, which is spit less chewing tobacco that comes in little pouches. When I got to Sweden I found out that snuss is Swedish. So I bought a few cans upon departure and have been enjoying it regularly. The other day I noticed I had a loose tooth. One of the ones right in front. When I looked at my gums I had a small bump that was white at the tip. When I pushed it, puss ran down my tooth. Very gross!!! People have been chewing this stuff for years and only two weeks for me and it is already rotting my gums. Shit. So I stopped and have been brushing my teeth many times a day. Let's hope it goes away. Shit.

Sorry to be a bummer in the last post, I was just worried and board.

The card is woring again thanks to Ms Scout W. Thank you for your help. We got a chance to go into town today and did it up right. We got some prepared food from a restaurant, used a computer for couple hours and hit up the grocery store. Very successful. I was able to dump my cameras memory card onto cd's and we e-mailed multiple farms in Croatia and Thailand. We both decided when we are not wwoofing we don't get the real culture of the country we are in. In Barcelona we had no idea what to do with ourselves so we pretty much did nothing and didn't meet anyone. Not so much our idea of traveling. Also we don't really like staying in hotels and hostels. So if we can, we prefer to wwoof. We have already received a reply from a farm in northern Thailand, and it sounds great.

As far as our plans, (well see if we stick to them) we have a farm lined up the day we get off the island in Malalaga Spain to pick mangos all day. The day we're done with that we are going to try to see Mr. Leonard Cohen in Granada, then were off to France to meet a friend in Paris and see some of Zoey's aunts friends in the alps. That's about where we are now. Still hoping to squeeze in Portugal and Morocco. Guess its in Gods hands.
Cheers!!!
