*blush* My friends be callin' me Rui, sir.
I wish I coulda been there, but I stay with my parents durin' the summer. They reside on the Lake of Smith Mountain near Lychburg/Roanoke. 'Tis a shame it's big but not enough for more than a speedboat. :-\ But me beau promises me a big ship after we retire!
I plan to be at the Maryland Renaissance Festival this fall.. I hope ta fin'ly meet some of ye!
