Charlie, Fantastic birthday surprise! Can’t imagine a better gift for your brother (and the rest of us, by proxy!). Your experiences and reportage continue to be riveting. Just told your mom about your e-mail regarding scuba training. Guess what her response was…I’m working on it. And take a layover day, will ya? Love, YGOP
September 17th, 2005 at 11:45 amCan’t tell you how much I admire and respect what you are doing. We all miss you. CUIDATE MUCHO, te queremos.

Just back in my room before going out for the remainder of the bday night (and morning!!). Have to tell you all about my day - soo fun (tomorrow though, i have more celebrating to do now!)
WHAT AN AMAZING BIRTHDAY SURPRISE!!!! Words can’t express how happy it made me this morning. I woke up, and as always the first thing I did was check your website (it’s not that hard considering it’s my home page). I really wish you could have seen my face. I couldn’t ask for a better birthday gift, nor could I ask for a better brother.
I am curious how you got all those kids to do that without speaking the language, did you buy one of those picture books too
! hehe.
I’m off to do what 20 year olds do…don’t know what that really is but I’ll find out…(i’m guessing it’s similar to what I’ll be doing next year at this time…but illegal).
Thanks again for making a special day all the more special. You’re the best.

September 17th, 2005 at 9:00 pmHey hey!
So great talking to you yesterday!! Glad you were able to call. Seems like you are having a nice time relaxing on the beach - tough life. Gabi told me you just called her, it made her day
.
First day of shopping period tomorrow - will be going to a class called Justice, another one called The Concept of the Hero in Greek Civilization, and then finally to my sophomore tutorial on Constitutional Democracy in America. So please be thinking about all the fun I’ll be having as you’re lounging around, hehe.
Off to bed so I can try and stay awake for the first day. Love ya!

September 18th, 2005 at 11:09 pmCharlie!!!! Big Bro! Thank you so much for thinking about me on my birthday! Your call definitely made a not so exciting birthday much better. I mean who else gets a birthday wish from Sri Lanka?? (okay, well except maybe for Nick). I love you and miss you so much! (And I promise I am going to post more, I’ve just been really busy lately.)
Love, Gabi
