Wales and Simon's Birthday

The last posting of the day.
Today is Simon's 10th birthday ( double digits!!)
Clearly memorable because he is celebrating it in Wales.

For Simon, who is feeling better ( persisitent nausea seemingly the effect of mefloquine), the highlight ( obviously besides the gifts secreted from victoria) was a short horseback ride and well wishes from friends and family by phone and skype.
