Great Writing!! I've been going to Nica for two years now and think that it and Panama are the best kept secret in Central America. I like your style or writing and also the types of activities you participated in. Keep up the great blogging!
How awesome! Jeremy,
I'm glad that you are getting to experience all of this. I just watched "My Name is Earl" tonight, and to read your blog, puts me to shame. Mia and Sean say hello! Stay safe, and PLEASE let us know how your "mystery woman" turns out in Vietnam. Hopefully, she is legit.
Wow. Just wow. Unbelievable pictures. Everything was absolutely beautiful. It's great you're getting to experience all this, see the world. A little different from East Tennessee and South America, huh? Anyway, keep up the great pics and blogs, I love it.
Have a safe trip to Nam and a great time.
Curl, I really am digging the fact you brought your laptop this time. The more frequent updates rule. The more you travel, the more potential your blog has to becoming the eighth world wonder. How is the General Tso's chicken? Take care brother.
My travillin cuz! Ohh Jeremiah! Your travels have finally started! I can't believe that you are actually travelling all over the world. I am so happy and excited for you. I bet one could see you from all the way over one of their major streets(with their average height of 5 foot)!!!! I love the journal and look forward to the rest of them. Angie, Taylor and I all send our love. Take care of yourself and don't believe in any of those chinese magic cure all potions. I heard that they can make your feet shrink!!!!!!! Talk to you later.
ahhhhh, the little people Hello Jeremy, its little Cheryl from Hannahs wedding :)
Sounds amazing....bed bugs and all! Ive been stir crazy for two weeks wanting to travel...I think its the weather changing makes me want to jump on a plane. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. :)
On to Beijing Looks like you got to see alot of the good things Hong Kong has to offer, and it looks like the weather was nice. When you get to Beijing, definitely eat dumplings there - - they are a northern dish and Beijing is famous for them. Another good, cheap dish for which Beijing is famous is ¸qb (Zha jiang mian) - - it's a bowl of noodles, with a brown meat sauce. Look for it if you go to Hong Qiao - - which is a market where you kind haggle for all kinds of crap. Enjoy the Great Wall -- it's one of the most impressive things I have ever seen.
It has begun Lack of communication, single file lines, and being shorter than some people (I bet you're like the jolly bald giant). Now, all three Curl brothers have been to Hong Kong. Well, good job seeing the best of the Kong on $2 a day. Sounds like you're having a great time. Keep'em comming.
Looks like you're off you a great start. Keep us updated, you know we're all so envious of your travels. I sent you an email earlier this week - hope you got it.
Happy for you! Hi J, Glad to see you are safe and sound...if not a little itchy. I can't wait till you publish your first book of adventures. I will be the first to buy. Safe travels.
Swirl, the wags are praying for you to have safe travels and that God continues to work through you in a very unique and exciting way. I heard the Chinese buffets are really good over there...
Beware of the IBS though. Later brother.
Safe travels, brother Well, you're at it again, living life to its fullest. Have a great time on your travels and take lots of pics. By the way, you gotta see Bruce Lee's statue in Hong Kong; it's by the bay in Kowloon, near the star ferry. We'll miss you. Be safe and come home a wiser man.
Missed Call Jeremy,
Your probably en route right now, but I think I missed a call from you yesterday. Zach said you had a question about Hong Kong or China? If so and if I can be of service, shoot me an e-mail.
Travel safely, and I hope you have a great trip. It sounds like an awesome itinerary - - As I sit here in my office, I am certainly envious.
Bon Voyage!
Awesome Bro,
Keep the journals coming - just reading the notes and thoughts, seeing the pictures, helps to cure my travel jones. I have a cousin over in the philipines on an extended mission trip. She loves it. I hope it continues to fuel your mind and heart.

Great stuff Hey Jeremias,
Good report. The sights and smells have a way of lingering. Praying the LORD puts our paths together soon. Will put you together with a few folks like I said when we talked last.
In Christ

Jeremy, you are so good at capturing what really happened in Kenya and writing it down. It was nice to read your blogs and remember all the wonderful things that God did. Take care!
Hey Jeremy!!! Jeremy- Your blog is awesome! I really miss all the team and Kenya. I just cannot seem to get past the longing I have to be there. I find myself trying to eat what we ate there(well, some of the stuff!!) and I have been making "Kenya" tea. You did a really great job on the trip of just diving into whatever was needed at the moment. And your testimony truly blessed me--- I was wiping tears the whole time. My kids share some of your background and it was encouraging to hear a good out come! It was a true joy to meet you and get to know you over those 2 weeks. I had a blast with everyone and look forward to going again!!! BTW---I have a daughter too--hehehe just kiddin(she would kill me if she saw this!!) love ya---take care....Annette
ON the issue of girlfriend In your blog you said, "They asked, “Not even a girlfriend?”, “No” I replied “Not even a girlfriend” and the response I received left me in stitches. “It’s OK! You’ll find somebody someday.” "
Big Grin.... let me introduce you to my oldest daughter, dude!!!
Keep the entries coming. Praying for the work He is doing through you and the team. Would Sackcloth2joy send a CD to me to share with Hank Lueck of Mission Recording - the recording studio here at Helps International???
In Christ

Missing Kenya Jeremy, you have such an awesome gift of writing. Thank you so much for blogging and adding photos of our trip. It was so wonderful meeting you and getting to know you and watching you come out of your comfort zone. I was so proud of you when you gave your testimony and did so great! I can hardly wait for the next update. Keep writing! This past weekend I was really having a hard time missing the whole team and being in Kenya. I hope we get to all go again together one day. God bless!
Thank you for your journal Jeremy, You write so eloquently, a God given talent that I enjoyed reading. I have a great interest in the Children of IAA, and it was so wonderful to see them growing up so well. I know how much they are loved, as one that loves them from afar. The lollipop and coke delivery was something that is close to my heart. As the first American to go live in Kenya on behalf of Jane and IAA, I always had candy in my pockets (as well as lots of kleenex, you know what I'm talking about) when I went to the site during construction...the local children gave me the name Auntie Sweetie and it stuck when the children came to live at the IAA Site. So I was happy to see that lollipops (sweeties) were still an important part of the "Mission". 2002/2003, my time in Kenya, was the most memorable part of my life, and I thank you for bringing those sweet memories back with your words and photos. Kenya can change you for the rest of your life! Asante Asana my rafiki for your insight and lovely dialog. Cheers, Auntie Sweetie.
