Happy 2009
Ivana prepared a nice post for new years, looking back and ahead:
2008 was incredible…
We have been travelling all around the world the past year: from Amsterdam to Argentina, Peru, Australia, (Harry was invited by Jim, Thanks Jim), Istanbul, Tanzania and we started our trip by bicycle from Alaska to Ushuaia …
…It wasn’t just travel; the landscapes we had seen, the wonderful people we had met, the new friends… We enjoyed time with our family and friends that are far … Rediscovering the world, enjoying it, and learning how to take care of it …
We wish you all the joy for the new year…
Ilusions
Wonders and surprises
