Just loved your post, and how you managed to talk about our "ginga". Perfect words! The pictures were also very inspiring. BTW, I'm pretty sure Luisa missed me, but loved ALL her presents. "Mom, you're the BEST!", how about that, huh... Miss you! Vânia Hi, Carlinha!!!

Everyone gives a personal touch to our gathering, sharing and learning. Your secret is out! I thought it was really interesting. Dear Graham,

I enjoyed it from the first to the last word, and the pictures as well, of course. I think you SPARK ginga everywhere you go and splash it on every person around you, especially the closer you are to them physically and spiritually. There is so much positive energy in your account that it made me feel transported in time and space to Tesol. I hope to meet you and the rest of the gang someday. I have Daf closeby, only see her once in a while but know she is reachable any time. I also appreciate your notes on the main events you attended and will refer the post on grammar to one of my graduate students who is interested in that area for her research, if you don´t mind. Thanks a zillion, Carla, for always being there lifting us to a next level. I might be in Miami from July 24 to Aug. 30th and wish I could meet you up there or in the Keys. All the best, muchos cariños, Berta Wow, Carla, what an amazing post. I enjoyed it from the first to the last word, and the pictures as well, of course.

I wasn't there but I was reading all teh post and seeing all the pics. I felt some of the human touch. It was definitelly a special conference. I won't say once AGAIN how much I wished to be there; I will instead say: HOORAY! It's great to know (confirm) the webheads are that way. One day I will also meet you all. I will also feel the human touch face to face. Meanwhile I can only feel blessed for being part of such a great group of people. You all, and you particularly Carlinha, inhabit a very special place in my heart! Many thanks for everything. YOU ARE a true inspiration! Beijinhos WOW!
