Email To Dad

Hey dad I'm really sorry that I didn't catch you when I phoned you in Prauge. I am at an internet cafe in Avignon France. Euro Tour is the most amazing thing ever. When you two old farts retire you better travel europe or you are missing out. I miss you guys a lot. I wish you could see all the beautiful and amazing things that I am getting to see. It is an amazing experience to say the least. A lot of fun stories to tell, and some crazy ones too. But don't worry we are good kids. We take care of each other and make good decisions (remember to tell mom that!!!!) I have one more night in Avignon and tomorrow we are leaving at 7am for a long trip to Paris. I have a good polaroid collection going now of all the places I have been too. They look great man.

Every single place we have been too is so amazing and breathe taking. It doesn't even hit you when you are in those amazing places. And I don't think it will until Euro Tour is long over and I am sitting at home with you looking at photos from months back.My buddy decided to get a tattoo today and I went with him to watch... it was too cool. But I didnt get one dont worry. Also my friends got their ears pierced... but I didnt get mine done dont worry!!!BUT YESTERDAY WE WERE IN MONACO!!!! AND IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT THE F1 RACE WAS ON THE SAME DAY. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CITY EVER AND THE LOUDEST NOISE COMING FROM THE RACE CARS I HAVE EVER HEARED!!It is too weird to think that I am in France right now and you are in boring Bracebridge.I don't think I will ever stop traveling. There are too many places I haven't seen yet.

I love you and I will call you as soon as I get home.

Love you Dad,
Dillon

Hi Dillon,

Thanks for the great message. As you know from my reply to the Email originally sent to me, your Mom and I will make it over to Europe long before we are old farts. The Polaroid collection will be great to see - the technology is fading fast so you are lucky you found them (of course you know, the pictures fade fast too suckerhead!). Isn't Monaco an amazing place and I can't
believe that your were there when the F1 Monaco Grand Prix was on.... its like CART series cars in North America, but the cars are bigger and more powerful. Jacques Villeneuve won the F1 Championship and Canadians were so proud - imagine how the Quebcois felt! I'm glad you dodged the tatoos and piercings - Mom is happy. By the way, Bracebridge is not so boring. We had a protest march from the OPP station to the Court House - clothing optional! Freedom of expression is something to show off I guess (High Falls Resort nutball (excuse the pun)).

Love,
Dad (be good and if you can't be good, have a good time)
