dang, that corretto sounds good.
did you just make up the rest of those names or are those all real?
Julie, I miss you. Every time I hear or see anything about Australia, I think of you. I wish I could be there too.
I don't regret turning down the PhD at Perth though. I'm content to stay in France for now. But one day I will make it to Oz...
Bisous,
Jennie
So which ones have you tried? :)
