An email from Doug:

I don't miss you to the point of being sad. Don't get me wrong; I miss you. Just, not in an agonizing way. Maybe that didn't read right. Oh well. I'm a boy. I'm not supposed to be good at expressing how I feel.

I like being on a ship and going all over the place and meeting new people... but I miss the familiar, too. Waking up each morning in a different country is great... don't let me sound like I am complaining... but the only security blanket is the ship, and that's not so comforting.

I really am having a great time, though. I guess I do just miss you. Slightly in an agonizing way.

Doug liked to take my camera while I wasn't looking. I have quite a few pictures like this.

I've been accidently calling people Doug lately.
