Hi guys! Great page. This is my first year as a PAL, having done my bronze and silver years ago. I'm working on finding something fun for my Bronze candidates for the adventure section in Waterford, but ye'r pics of Glendalough look so much nicer than Waterford..... Thinking of starting the Gold myself, trying to get some friends to do it with me. If I manage to tempt them I'll be back here looking for ideas. Keep up the great work. Slán

Hi TEO. Greetings from Foz Iguassu, Brazil. Michelle and I are having a great time and are really taking the spirit of the Award with us - Go Discover. We've seen and done so much - hangliding in Rio de Janeiro, surfing on Lopez Mendes beach on Ihla Grande which hasn't even got any roads, eating squirrel, and emu and various other meats which I decided it might be best to be polite and not ask what I was eating in case I didn't like the answer & fishing for piranha and being badly bitten but having my revenge by cooking and eating the slippery git! Hope all's well back on the Emerald Isle. Sean & Michelle
