A great trip

THREAD AUTHOR
Elley Cadiz, Andalucia Spain
Went to see a couple of CS Members over here in Spain. First time I,ve met anybody from CS. Found two very articulate, intelligent, sensitive, artisic people whose gregariousness was equalled by their wonderful hospitality.

I am talking,of course, about Flor and Gongman. It was a longish trip, but one more than well worth the effort. Stayed overnight and ate and drank well and talked into the wee small hours.

Gongman is a musician of quite rare ability, he doesn,t just play instruments, he IS an instrument. Listening to his oral overtones was quite amazing. As for the gongs !!!!!!

Flor, what can I say ? We all know she is a great writer, but she is also a fine artist with equally fine human insight and a great sense of humour.

However,above all this what I found was two really great,decent human beings, both with a heart as big as a bucket.

Flor, Gongman, thankyou ever so much for everything. My young son and I are grateful for your kindness and your friendship. Hugs and kisses to you both.

ps. What I realised is that communicating with people here is a little like being presented with a nail cutting and thinking you know that person well. What we all see here is the tip of the iceberg and no more. I ,m very glad that I got to meet the entire mountain.wave

Hey Fantastic! Yes, despite my cynical attitude .. I do know there is a core of very very nice and decent folk here ...... I just wish it were possible to meet ALL the forum contributors! I`ve met a few and they all nice decent people. Then I met quite a few of the Malta gang and they also fantastic people - even the ones I argue with on the forum .... Lovely people - warm and caring and good fun.

On my wish list is also to one day have the honour of meeting up with Flower and Gongman.

Thank you Marti, and it was a great pleasure and honour to have met you too! Well, I guess I am a Bit tall .. to too tall, I`m in the process of shrinking now .... I shrunk 2cm when my doctor last measured me!

But you are Petit .... small and dainty ... thats why you drove the Pimple of Gozo round the twist ... I think?...jackolantern batting

Gee, Malta is just full of nice looking people - and I envy you all having such a wonderful venue for getting together! Just wish I could have been there too!cheers dancing
