| 3rd November 2009 Deanna | - From: All Saints Day in Slovakia Thanks Brett, for a very informative and beautiful depiction of All Saints Day. |
| 3rd November 2009 Keith and Pete | a beautiful tradtion - From: All Saints Day in Slovakia I'm glad to see an entry about this special day. It is one of the things we miss the most about living in Poland. Even the trams changed the city routes to accomodate everyone that wanted to visit the cemeteries. Every grave had little lanterns on them, even the old forgotten ones, thanks to the churches. I watched during the days leading up to November 1st, to see the graves washed down and the leaves and debris swept away, before the flowers and candles were arranged. Thoughout the city, all statues and memorials have the laterns and flowers. And the crowds in the cemetries! We were entranced as we joined the stream of families visiting their loved ones. It is a beautiful alternative to our "October 31st". Thanks Brett for the photos! |
| 2nd November 2009 Linelle Kelley | Very interesting - From: All Saints Day in Slovakia Brett, thanks for the information you sent. It was quite interesting. The pictures were great. And - a couple of them definitely looked like flying over a city. I had to tell myself that wasn't what I was seeing. |
| 2nd November 2009 Katie Kugler | WOW - From: All Saints Day in Slovakia This would be an awesome experience. I am one who does not necessarily understand why we celebrate Halloween by dressing up as different characters, whether they are fictional or real. Reading about this tradition makes me wish the United States would have celebrated the holiday this way! Can't wait to see you guys!! |

| 22nd September 2009 Linelle Kelley | Wow! - From: Egypt, Hurghada, Cairo, Giza Thanks for the Egyptian report. Great pictures. I'm glad the police only wanted a little cash, and not your skin. It's too bad that you two lead such boring lives. . . Blessings to you both today. |

| 14th August 2008 anonymous | - From: Cologne, Dusseldorf, Lennestadt, Martin it was a pleasure to have you here! Martin |
| 3rd August 2008 Allison | - From: Cologne, Dusseldorf, Lennestadt, Martin You went to germany! I hope you are having a great time. It looks like you are. I was also in Cologne when I went last summer but not for very long. IF you went to the Netherlands from Cologne you probably went right by Miriam's house in Munster. ( : I also saw that you wrote on Anita's wall saying that you will be back to Europe twice in the next year. IF so, you should come visit me in Berlin, because I just found out that I was accepted to study there next year from January-July.Well, hope all is well -Allison |
| 30th July 2008 ztempest | We loved Torun too - From: Poland - Czestochowa, Torun My husband + I just returned from our European Road Trip having moved to the Czech Republic from the USA in 2007. We did Poland and Torun. It is a fantastic city, I agree. From the castle ruins to the river at sunset, the gingerbread and the churches with glitted gold to overlooking the city from the clock tower. There are bits and pieces that are still to be discovered there, and we spend 2 days finding so many things that are not described in a book. Only problem besides too many tourist kiosks are the roads ... Cheers !!! |
| 29th June 2008 Craygee | - From: Poland - Kolobrzeg, Wroclaw, and Poznan What did you think of Wroclaw?? it was my favorite place out of the handful i visited in Polska!!! isn't the Old Town marvelous?! and South Asians in Poland, NEATO!!!! golly what an amazing roadtrip!!!! ps. sylvia= sexy ass bait |
| 29th June 2008 Craygee | - From: Poland - Gdansk and the Baltic Sea SO bummed that i didn't make it out to Gdansk, that sunset looks ineffably breathtaking. |
| 29th June 2008 Craygee | AHHH - From: Poland - Czestochowa, Torun HOW FREAKIN FUN!! and whatchoo talkin bout foo, that vehicle is the BOMBDOTCOM!!!! |
| 29th June 2008 Craygee | AMAZING - From: Gypsy School and Village BRETT the photos are beautiful and your experience at the school was incredibly interesting to read. the children in the photos remind me so much of the kids i worked with in Georgia, especially the part about how they all went positively nuts when you busted out a camera. reading this entry brings a really humanizing perspective on the Roma population and surely this day went above and beyond anything you'd find through pedantic means. ... and geezus, the part about the kid eating banana peels?? are there any relief programs within Europe that support starving "gypsy" children and families who actually value education? probably worth investigating, golly, what a remarkable day this must've been. |
| 18th June 2008 amber | Wow - From: Evangelical Church at Štítnik That church is amazing! |

We love you and will be thinking about you the entire time. I have been praying for you both. I have embroidered the kroje and it will look very nice! Grandma Edith |
