| 17th October 2009 Dora Greer | History of Ky - From: Pikeville, KY I was very pleased and felt like a history buff My husband will be 80 yrs in January, and I would love to present him with a hisorty of his home state. He is very proud of his heritge. We have benn married only 2/1/2 yrs please advise me how to get this info and the cost. He had tole me many stories about the Bid Sandy River, and took me by there on our honeymoon. Thanks you Dora Greer |
| 16th August 2009 Diane | Love Pikeville! - From: Pikeville, KY My daughter goes to Pikeville College and plays soccer for them. Travelling to Pikeville from Cincinnati, OH is a tranquil drive. Most beautiful driving through the Appallachian Mountains. In April every year, a fun event called Hillbilly Days starts on Thursday and runs through Saturday. Lots of food, crafts, different music venues, my favorite is the bluegrass in the city park. Bring your chairs, get some eats, and enjoy! Dance if you like! Alan Jackson was here at the ExpoCenter this year (2009). A Hillbilly parade goes through the main street, and outhouse races are held. Fun! Aside from Hillbilly Days, the ExpoCenter does have great concerts. Journey is coming soon! The Breaks International State Park is a short drive from Pikeville, located in Breaks, VA. It is known as the Grand Canyon of the South! Just breathtaking! All in all, Pikeville is worth the drive. |
| 27th July 2009 Celeste in Missouri | Cool! - From: Gilboa Quarry - NAUI Advanced Diver Course I'm way too scared to scuba dive, and I think it is awesome that you do it! Jamas has a ton of dive gear if you ever need to borrow anything! |
| 2nd July 2009 David Geiger | Cafe Desire - From: Day 18 - Engelberg Thanks for the photo's. I just spoke to my dad this morning and he informed me that my second cousin Jorg Geiger who owns the Cafe Desire was in Niagra Canada looking at some land he owned. Unfortunately we were not able to meet, however I will make sure I visit him next year during my family trip to Europe. |
| 8th March 2009 Celeste in Missouri | How cool! - From: NZ Day 6 - Fox Glacier / South Island West Coast That is amazing! I'm am totally laughing at the mustard story, how hilarious! |
| 16th February 2009 Jolh | Good times! - From: South Lake Tahoe/Heavenly/Sierra Nevada Mountains Reading your blog has brought back memories of the ski trip that I went on to Lake Tahoe back in Year 9 - so a few years ago. But it was absolutely beautiful, especially going up that initial chair lift where you could turn around and just see the amazing view of the entire lake. One of the best holidays ever! |
| 27th January 2009 Augusta | NZ Day 4 - From: Day 4 - TranzAlpine Train Beautiful pictures again, as always. Now I am totally 100% sure I want to go to New Zealand. After I read about you getting the urge for some flip-flops, I expected the next paragraph to read, "Then I ended up staying in New Zealand to become an organic venison farmer" or something to that effect. Glad that you came back....but also glad your "free spirit" got to go our for a little walk. A note on paper products: there were exorbitantly expensive in Bahrain, too. I have no idea why, but that sounds about the same price-wise for a paperback there. Greeting cards were about double what you would pay in the US, even though they were Halmark stores identical to the US. It was really weird. |
| 24th January 2009 Adele | Springfield - From: Day 4 - TranzAlpine Train I saw your photos that showed a building with "Springfield" on it, and I wanted to know a little more...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springfield,_New_Zealand Too bad you missed out on their big attraction! And you were so close! That train ride looked wonderful! |
| 13th January 2009 Augusta | NZ Day 3 - From: NZ - Day 3 - Ferry, Marlborough, and NE Coast It looks so incredibly beautiful there! I definitely want to go now. It looks like you got to see such a variety of things (even in just the first few days--I can't wait to see the rest)--ocean, hills, seal colonies. Wow. I agree with Cel--that is so neat that you guys each planned a leg of the trip. Awesome. Maybe one day in the future, we can all go to Europe or something and do the same thing, each taking a day or something.....in the DISTANT future probably. |
| 10th January 2009 Celeste in Missouri | Wow! - From: NZ - Day 3 - Ferry, Marlborough, and NE Coast I think this is my favorite post of yours ever! How cool! I didn't realize that you each planned a leg of the trip... that is awesome! I'm adding going to NZ to my bucket list. :) |
| 10th January 2009 EchelonFive | Ferry Ride - From: NZ - Day 3 - Ferry, Marlborough, and NE Coast The Picton Ferry was about 3.5 hours. |
| 10th January 2009 Adele | Happy 30th Birthday! - From: NZ - Day 3 - Ferry, Marlborough, and NE Coast So much for resetting your clock! I see you're up late working on your travel blog. Beautiful photos as usual. How long timewise was the ferry ride? |
| 7th January 2009 Celeste in Missouri | WOW! - From: NZ - Day 1 - Auckland and Waitomo How beautiful!! |
| 2nd January 2009 Augusta | More NZ - From: NZ - Day 2 - Lake Taupo, Tongariro National Park, and the Countryside Those waterfall pictures look so beautiful. Huka Falls looks gorgeous and dangerous all at the same time! It's amazing how nature can be so powerful, beautiful and dangerous! |
| 2nd January 2009 Augusta | NZ - From: NZ - Day 1 - Auckland and Waitomo It looks so beautiful there. There have been many places you have visited that I am totally content to just hear your experiences--I have no desire to go to those places. However, New Zealand just looks amazing and beautiful. I would like to go there someday. Those cows seem like they were pretty friendly! I can't believe how close they were standing to Robert and Vanessa. The glowworm thing was creepy, too, but I guess that is the Circle of Life. Eww. |
| 30th December 2008 Cousin Celeste | Looks like fun! - From: NZ - Day 2 - Lake Taupo, Tongariro National Park, and the Countryside Hi Henry, I always wanted to go to New Zealand. Not only is it a beautiful country with lots of hiking and photo opportunities, I'd like to pay homage to the Ashford company that made my Traveller DD spinning wheel. (http://www.ashford.co.nz/spinning/spinning-frameset.htm). The glow worm cave sounds fascinating! |
| 18th December 2008 Augusta | Sydney - From: Sydney Wow! I really like your descriptions of the Sydney Opera House. I have never seen pictures of it that don't just show the famous view of it. I didn't know it had lots of windows, several venues, etc. That is really neat! I like your thoughts on being stern with children out of necessity at times. It is true, Theodora made us nearly cry (or cry lots!), but she TRAINED me to know ballet in such a thorough way. I have really appreciated the fruits of that as I now venture back into ballet and see how well my body remembers! I love the botanical gardens sign! So funny. It looks beautiful! I also loved hearing your account of the Messiah. That must have been incredible with a symphony and everybody singing it. Wow! Mom and I did the Messiah once when we lived in B-town, but I imagine it wasn't quite the same. |
| 14th December 2008 Celeste in Missouri | Awesome! - From: Sydney How cool Henry! I'm glad you linked your travel blog to your facebook page! |
| 29th October 2008 mork | I went to school in virgie - From: Pikeville, KY I also used to go to that theatre you have in the picture. the last time I went to that theatre was in the late 70s I saw Harper Valley PTA. in the 60s I saw "the sound of music" with my mom there |
| 1st October 2008 Joe Montes | How ironic... - From: Skydiving in Hastings, MI I hadn't checked on your blog for awhile, and I just saw your address in my favorites when looking for a moment of retreat from an SAP audit. Romain and I just jumped in Australia. I had jumped before, but not with Sydney on the horizon. It seems like things are going well for you. It would be nice to see you sometime. I am home in November and December. Maybe you could come over for dinner? |
| 28th August 2008 Sue Hatfield | Pikeville yay! - From: Pikeville, KY We have visited Pikeville 4 times now and just love the place, it is great with the retro MacDonalds etc. To come from England and see a part of the US that is so unspoilt and 'country' is a real thrill. Having the Hatfield connection was the first reason for our visit and we have fallen in love with the amazing country side. We have also made friends with a great lady called Jean Hatfield who runs the Hatfield Family Museum in Sara Ann. So many great characters. See you again soon! |
| 12th August 2008 SkydiveInc.com | Glad you had a good time! - From: Skydiving in Hastings, MI Hey! I'm happy you had a wonderful experience and I hope you come back out again. Your first jump is just the beginning, skydiving can open up a world of fabulous experiences for you. |
| 4th August 2008 Yathi | - From: Skydiving in Hastings, MI Wow!! What a ride! Felt like I was doing it man. |
| 3rd August 2008 Celeste in Missouri | Awesome! - From: Skydiving in Hastings, MI Great account of it all! You didn't seem nervous or anything. I thought your voice at the end sounded hilarious! You are much braver than me. |
| 24th June 2008 unknown | pikeville attractions - From: Pikeville, KY i live about 15 minutes from pikeville and there is nothing to do around . the expo center has some shows but not many family events and there is a small park . we have to drive close to two or three hours for any amusment parks, zoos, aquariums ect.... we do have alot of resturants. and a couple very small museums that you have to pay a fortune to get into . that is about it. |
| 5th May 2008 Augusta | India - From: Delhi/Agra/Taj Mahal Ah, the post I've been eagerly anticipating. Very beautiful pictures--the Taj Mahal looks spectacular. Although, I must admit that some of the pictures are so awesome that they almost look fake; like one of those fake backdrops of world tourist sites. SURE, here's Henry in front of the Taj Mahal.....are you sure you actually went there? The Agra fort was pretty impressive, too. Not sure why you would need BOTH crocodiles AND lions to keep people out. My guess it that it was a pretty effective deterent. |
| 3rd May 2008 Girija | Interesting perspective of Mumbai - From: Mumbai (Bombay) For a Mumbaite who has grown up in Mumbai seeing it from your eyes is weird. I am in CA now, and understand that there is poverty and riches side by side in Mumbai but I realize all Mumbaites take it in their stride. It is a city of survival, so amidst all the poverty that you mention there is life, joy, hope and a will to be better. That is what makes Bombay the pulsating city that it is today. Comforts like airconditioning, clean roads, less traffic is possible in cities that have very less population, but the most amazing part of Mumbai is its ability to be so efficient despite the problems. I think Mumbai is a city of dreams and I hope you can see it that way too. |
| 1st May 2008 Augusta | Mumbai - From: Mumbai (Bombay) Wah-waaaaaaahhhhhh--Debbie Downer. We do take so much for granted in America. Our poverty doesn't even compare to poverty in other countries. It just makes it that much more apparent to me while people would even be willing to go to Bahrain to work for almost nothing just to get away from such bad circumstances. The Elephanta caves look really fascinating; if I ever go to Mumbai, I'll have to check them out. Can't wait to hear about the Taj Mahal and your adventures with J-Man. |
| 1st May 2008 Augusta | LA - From: Los Angeles Eh, not all that interested in visiting LA, either. I'm just glad your blog entry for this one didn't include a freak dolphin attack story. Man, this whole surfing thing could be dangerous! That's really cool that you went to the Chinese Theatre, though. I actually didn't know that the general public could go to movies there. Maybe all those tourists don't know that, either. |
| 1st May 2008 Augusta | Pikeville - From: Pikeville, KY Well, despite you playing up Pikeville's very best, I don't think I'll be visiting any time soon. Still sounds like it was a nice reprieve from the usual big city travel. |
| 30th April 2008 Celeste in Missouri | Hahaha! - From: Pikeville, KY You're thoughts on going to the track are hilarious and so true! I used to go watch Jamas ride and it was BORING (unless someone wrecked). |
| 30th April 2008 Celeste in Missouri | Awesome! - From: Los Angeles Great pictures! You are a busy guy, Henry! |
| 12th February 2008 Augusta | Skiing in Aspen - From: Aspen - Four Mountains, Three Days Somehow your ski trip makes my "awesome ski vacation" to Dubai look not quite so impressive. The longest run there takes less than four minutes from top to bottom. Oh well, not all of us get to live such a jet-set life..... Looks really cool! What ever happened with your ribs, though? |
| 29th January 2008 Santandrea | Home sick - From: Aspen - Four Mountains, Three Days Nice pics ans story, makes me home sick, I now live in South Korea I moved here from Aspen, and I miss it, especially this year with all the snow they are getting. To bad you missed the X-Games those are fun to go to. Actually I went snowboarding here last weekend. |
| 28th January 2008 Celeste in Missouri | SO COOL! - From: Aspen - Four Mountains, Three Days That looks awesome! I'm glad you got some sleep, but that stinks about the ribs! What is it with you and cool injuries?? Deep cut foot surfing in Australia, fractured ribs skiing in Aspen... how cool are those? I hurt my shoulder falling up the stairs the other night... not nearly as cool. haha |
| 20th December 2007 mom | - From: Sydney - Week Two Wow, what a beautiful rainbow scene! And I'm glad you pointed out the people in the photos of the rocks...it totally changed my perspective of how large the rocks and surf are. |
| 20th December 2007 deleted_54952 | Awwww - From: Sydney - Week Two Just wanted to say that I like your pics, I live in Chiang Mai - Thailand, but spent some years when I was young at Maroubra...brought back memories. Thanks. Sorry about your foot, what a bummer. |
| 9th December 2007 Celeste in Missouri | WOW!! - From: Sydney What awesome scenery!! I'm so glad you brought Shawn, he deserves a break and what a BEAUTIFUL break! That looks amazing. It's freezing here... literally! |
| 9th December 2007 mom | - From: Sydney It's great to see the photos and hear what all you and Shawn are doing! Sounds like more fun tomorrow! |
| 26th October 2007 Los Ositos | Congrats... - From: Cotopaxi Well done Duckie, Avis and Paddington - you are very brave!! |
| 19th September 2007 Celeste | YAY! - From: Cotopaxi I love the picture of you smiling, you can see your joy! That is amazing, and remember when you wife is in labor what it feels like. :) |
| 25th July 2007 Cousin Celeste | Way to go, Cousin Henry! - From: Cotopaxi What a great accomplishment! Did it seem odd to be on a snow-covered mountain at the equator? Love, Cousin Celeste |
| 25th July 2007 chantal otavalo | stunning - From: Cotopaxi Congratulations! Your photos are amazing!! |
| 25th July 2007 Phileas | Well done !! Fantastic - From: Cotopaxi A wonderful achievement.I know how you feel having been in the Andes earlier in the year Bolivia & Peru the altidude did me in as well,I didn't climb butwas at 4400metres that was bad enough,once again a great sense of achievement Roger Port aka Phileas |
| 25th July 2007 Augusta | Cotopaxi - From: Cotopaxi Wow! What a beautiful and incredible story! YOU DID IT!!! The pictures that struck me the most are the shadow of Cotopaxi and "Thankfulness." They brought a little bit of awestruck tears to my eyes! You rock! You rocked.....on a rock....wait, does that mean you rocked THE rock? Whatever the case, congratulations! |
| 25th July 2007 Augusta | Sounds like.... - From: Cotopaxi Your descriptions of the internal and physical trials you experienced sound very similar to my experience of labor. Likewise, your description of the strength you feel you gained from the experience applies to labor as well. |
| 20th July 2007 Augusta | Mindo - From: Mindo Wow! What an incredible journey! I love all the pictures. It looks so beautiful there and I can't believe those butterflies would land right on you! I also can't believe you actually drank the water! Didn't your mama teach you anything? Next time, take me with you! |
| 19th July 2007 Patt | - From: Mindo Flower-2 looks like impatients, flower-3 like hibiscus. We all have those in southeast Texas! Could be the same heat and humidity factor ! Am in the Yucatan now and hibiscus are everywhere. All your pictures are pretty and you have a great blog. Patt aka pattusa |
| 18th July 2007 Maritza | Love Ecuador - From: Guagua Pichincha Hi, I read ur blog and I couldn't believe that I grew up in Quito and never did that hike. I will be there again soon and would like to know if u contacted ur guide at Secret Garden? or how did u arrange a guide and also, if possible, a price. Thanks a Lot and enjoy my beautiful and unique Ecuador! Gracias. |
| 18th July 2007 Augusta | Guagua Pichincha - From: Guagua Pichincha Wow, that's a mouthful...Guagua Pichincha! Incredible pictures, as usual. I can't wait to see the pictures from Cotopaxi! |
| 8th July 2007 Celeste J. | Fun! - From: Buffalo River Float Trip Sounds like a lot of fun! |
| 26th June 2007 mom | - From: Buffalo River Float Trip Hi Gus and cousin Celeste! I think we should go on one of these float trips together sometime! Maybe Aunt Nancy will lead us! Henry, see how much you inspire us all? |
| 26th June 2007 mom | - From: Mexico Mission Trip 2007 It's so amazing how much you enjoyed a trip that doesn't include the luxuries and comforts that our culture says are necessary for happiness. That is one of the awesome things about going forward as the Spirit leads! |
| 24th June 2007 Augusta | Deep Thoughts - From: Mexico Mission Trip 2007 Your post was very deep this time....made me want to bust out of my limited horizons....and stuff.....or.....um...let me think about that one. I'm surprised that despite the detailed reading of your future, they neglected to tell you WHEN you might get married in the red tux to the ticket-taker girl...?? I'd ask for my money back. |
| 24th June 2007 Augusta | Float trip - From: Buffalo River Float Trip So, why didn't any of you guys brave sleeping in the great outdoors to make more room in the tents? Just a thought. Great pictures--looks like a lot of fun. Ah, man bonding! |
| 20th June 2007 Cousin Celeste in California | What a wonderful trip - From: Buffalo River Float Trip Looks like you had quite a lovely trip down the river. Aunt Nancy is glad you had a great time and very much wants to go on the same river trip sometime. Next time you're in California, maybe Bob can take you kayaking on the Napa River. It won't be quite the same - no bald eagles, for example - but at least you'd be on the water. |
| 8th June 2007 Ashley Cherri | Nice blog! - From: Chicago Again :) Thanks for posting the blog- I emailed your blog site address to Matthew to visit sometime |
| 8th June 2007 Augusta | Chicago - From: Chicago Again :) Nice pictures, as usual. When we were there seeing Matt graduate in April, we were quite surprised to see how beautiful Chicago is (having never been there before). It is especially pretty down by the Aquarium/downtown. I think you captured the sights well. |
| 1st June 2007 Lora Lee | Mexico.......... - From: Quito - Day 12-13 Almost time to sweat in Mexico -- stay safe and see you soon! Lora Lee, Ellen and Martha |
| 21st May 2007 Augusta | Ecuador - From: Quito - Day 12-13 The mountain pictures look so wild, free and alive. Beautiful, sweeping landscapes. Some of those clouds are really incredible. Great pictures, yet again! |
| 14th May 2007 Celeste from the Midwest | Wow! - From: Quito - Day 12-13 Looks like an amazing trip Henry! I'm glad it went so well. |
| 10th May 2007 Gunga | Lovely Ecuador - From: Quito - Day 12-13 I enjoyed your photos. I was in Ecuador in 2005 and thought the flight in from Lima,Peru to Quito was the most fantastic ever with all the views of the mountains and the still steaming volcanoes. So beautiful...viva Sud America! Carolyn( aka blog name 'gunga'). |
| 28th April 2007 Andrea | Your Photos. - From: Quito - Day 4-5 Your Photos are the bomb. What EXACT camera are you using? I would love to know as I am about to purchase one before heading to Quito. |
| 26th April 2007 Celeste J. | Spanish - From: Quito - Day 4-5 I think I start Spanish in the Spring, so I would love to take some lessons and get some help from you! I agree with Gus' comment! |
| 25th April 2007 Augusta | Quito - From: Quito - Day 4-5 A pediatric surgeon? An adrenaline junkie jumberjack? Who ARE these people??? Very exciting! |
| 24th April 2007 Celeste J. | Blow gun - From: Quito and Mitad del Mundo - Day 2-3 That blow-gun picture should be one of those "create a caption for this picture". "Frat hazing gone wrong", "Henry took some local herbs, and the rest is history", etc. |
| 23rd April 2007 Augusta | Ecuador - From: Quito and Mitad del Mundo - Day 2-3 That chicken picture is hilarious! The Secret Garden looks like such a beautiful place! Thanks again for the updates and the pictures. Keep them coming! |
| 22nd April 2007 Celeste L | And thanks to your blog... - From: Quito and Mitad del Mundo - Day 2-3 ...I just learned how to spell Ecuador. |
| 22nd April 2007 Celeste L | Hi Cousin Henry - From: Quito and Mitad del Mundo - Day 2-3 Bob and I are enjoying your blog and photos very much. Sounds like you're having a wonderful time and meeting good people. I look forward to the next installment. |
| 20th April 2007 EchelonFive | Internet - From: Quito - Day 1 (and trip down) Yeah, they have three computers onsite with Internet access. |
| 20th April 2007 Celeste J. | Sweet! - From: Quito - Day 1 (and trip down) It looks and sounds sweet! That's really insane to have four legs in one day, but I'm glad that it went well. |
| 20th April 2007 Augusta | Hola! - From: Quito - Day 1 (and trip down) Hola, mi hermano! Glad to see that you're doing well and enjoying an entirely new continent. Looking forward to seeing more pictures! |
| 20th April 2007 Adele | Jealous! - From: Quito - Day 1 (and trip down) Looks really interesting! Makes me want to visit there. Is there Internet access at the hostal or did you go to an Internet cafe? |
| 11th February 2007 Celeste J. | Very cool! - From: New Orleans Mission Trip - Part II As usual you have taken some great photos! I am going to live vicariously through you and feel like I helped other people! I exprienced New Orleans with a hurricane... the drink that is. Strangly I don't really remember much about that trip.... |
| 10th February 2007 Rebecca | - From: New Orleans Mission Trip - Part I mmm.....moldy drywall....how i miss thee. makes me want to go back... |
| 6th February 2007 Celeste J. | Poor Duckie - From: Dublin The only effort you put into finding duckie were two emails? I thought you loved duckie enough to at least make a phone call or stage a sit in until duckie is recovered! :) |
| 25th January 2007 Celeste J. | COOL! - From: Mom's Travel Experience I wish that I could have gone! It sounds like it was a lot of fun, and I hope to go to Europe one day too! |
| 22nd January 2007 Celeste | Cool! - From: Bahrain So, do you think it would be boring to start a travel blog for monthly trips from Branson to Columbia :)? I occasionally venture to Springfiled for shopping... |
| 20th January 2007 muneer | hi - From: Bahrain this is nice pic and you willcome any time to bahrain best regard muneer bahrain |
| 7th January 2007 Celeste J | Neat! - From: Cambridge Wow, that looks amazing, as usual you have taken wonderful pictures. It's fun to see the behind the scenes of Duckie and Paddington's pictures. I just logged onto the homepage and was looking at some of the featured blogs, and I saw a picture of mom, and I realized it was your blog! It was really weird! |
| 7th January 2007 Quinnthefinn | Green dots - From: Oxford and Beyond Hi there, I'm sure you'll be interested to know that the green dot is most probably a mark made by the ram after he's mounted the ewe, having done 'his business'. The ram carries a small harness with a paint pot under his belly and this leaves a mark after mounting. Thought you'd like to know!! |
| 4th January 2007 Rebecca | - From: Cambridge ah-ha! we finally see how the plastic yellow fowl make their way into your photographs.... |
| 1st January 2007 Martha and Lora Lee Hensel | Hello! - From: London Once again, great pictures of your trip. Glad you're remembering to drive on the left. Happy New Year from Martha and I (Ellen is still sleeping....surprise, surprise) |
| 31st December 2006 Andy Horsman | Great blog - From: London Hi - just wanted to say I really enjoyed reading your blog about London. I used to live there so I'm glad that you had fun exploring the city. Made me feel homesick! :-) Looking forward to the next update. Cheers, Andy |
| 28th December 2006 Augusta | Tahoe - From: South Lake Tahoe/Heavenly/Sierra Nevada Mountains I like the shots of the Lake in the distance--so beautiful! It really makes me miss snow, though! |
| 17th December 2006 Areeba | the tree of life - From: Day 35 - Bahrain i am writing my short story about the tree of life it's pretty intrestinggg....lol |
| 6th December 2006 Celeste J. | WOW!! - From: South Lake Tahoe/Heavenly/Sierra Nevada Mountains That's really cool! I am sad that I missed the snow in Columbia too, but it sounds like your weekend was about twenty times more exciting than mine! |
| 28th November 2006 Linda | The lake... - From: Day 17 - Lucerne ...is called 'Rotsee' (red lake) and it's where most of the row boat races take place. |
| 28th November 2006 Linda | Picture of the church... - From: Day 18 - Engelberg It's a photo of the small protestant church in town. |
| 1st November 2006 Doug Johnston | Hey man! - From: Yosemite I stumbled upon your blog off of your facebook. It's great to read the details of some of these places and some of your experiences! I visited Chicago at one point this last summer as well. It's a pretty sweet city! Hope you're doing well man. God bless! Doug J. |
| 29th October 2006 Wei | Wow!!! - From: Mount Rainier National Park Wow!!! the pictures are really amazing. Was at Seattle last year and saw Mt. Rainer, didn't managed to visit it. Wow! how I wish I can take a flight from Singapore and visit the park now :) |
| 11th October 2006 Augusta | Dude - From: Yosemite Woah...all that stuff about how difficult it would be to go crazy in a place like that and the rat race prison of steel and concrete----very heavy man! Existential and all that stuff.... Awesome pictures again! Wow.... |
| 11th October 2006 AG | BEAUTIFUL!!!! - From: Yosemite It's a little higher than Pinnacle Mountain! |
| 4th October 2006 Celeste J. | I agree with Aunt AG! - From: Santa Cruz I would love to see some pictures of your work life! I can't wait to see you next time you are in Columbia to watch some football! |
| 27th September 2006 anonymous | henry VII !! - From: Day 21 - London THE ARMOUR IS ACTUALLY HENRY VIII'S |
| 23rd September 2006 AG | Next entry - From: Santa Cruz I think it would be cool for your next entry to be "The Office", to show the interesting contrasts in your personal scenery! |
| 19th September 2006 Midway Heights Teachers | Our first blog reading - From: Santa Cruz Henry the 8th!!!! Our first blog studied at a technology workshop - my friend Janet is so impressed - she is breathless at your pictures. The photos are beautiful. She had never seen a blog before. Safe travels! |
| 18th September 2006 Lora Lee Hensel | Whew! - From: Santa Cruz You are brave-----and what a beautiful place. |
| 18th September 2006 Rebecca | - From: Santa Cruz i like the sea lions too. they look like my dog when he sleeps. also, i like the grass. that beach looks really great - natural but with man-made structures. neat! |
| 14th September 2006 Augusta | Surfing - From: Santa Cruz Hang ten, dude! That looks awesome! Wish I could have been there to surf, too. You actually look like you're doing pretty well in the picture....at least you're still ON the board and not faceplanting in the water which is where I would be. Awesome pictures again! I like the one with the sea lions underneath the boardwalk. Cool.... |
| 1st September 2006 Celeste | Wow! - From: Mount Rainier National Park Those are amazing pictures! That is really awesome that you are doing all of this! I would just sit around the hotel room and eat! :) |
| 23rd August 2006 Augusta | Seattle - From: Seattle - Part I So 24 hour fitness is NOT open 24 hours? Go figure! |
| 22nd August 2006 anonymous | - From: Mount Rainier National Park More awesome photos! They really make me want to go to the park and hike to see the views first hand! |
| 19th August 2006 Chris | I need to get out more often - From: Olympic National Park I forget sometimes how many fun things there are to do around here. The Olympics are awesome but I never go there. The Hoh river looks good, and you are lucky it didn't rain. Last time I drove through there the second I saw the sign that said Hoh Rainforest it started pouring. |
| 17th August 2006 Augusta | Oooh...Aaahh - From: Olympic National Park Wow! That place looks really cool and beautiful! |
| 7th July 2006 Rebecca | :-) - From: Chicago - Part II oh yay, you got to see Ben!!! tell both of yourselves that we in Springfield miss you guys. it's funny, we have some near-exact pictures...only there are a lot more people, a lot more sun, and a lot more boats in yours. i like Chicago. if you are still there or going back, there is a place a few streets over from the Hilton (east from Michigan and south of the library with the big green statues on top) called Pacific Gardens Mission - on Saturday (?) they tape a Christian radio show and show you around the mission and invite you to hear some gospel and eat some free food. it's an amazing place. |

| 20th April 2006 Rebecca | - From: Day 35 - Bahrain that dolphin swimming looks like fun! that's on my List. i'm kinda jealous. also, i would have loved to see that pottery place! (btw, the "roundtable" is just called a "wheel" ;-) i hope you have good travels home - see you in Springfield sometime! |
| 16th April 2006 Rebecca | - From: Day 30 - Bahrain congrats to your family all around. that's exciting! also, in Haiti they had broken glass along the tops of walls too! minus the strings of lights...that's a great picture. very abstract-y. nice job, Henry Gabriel. |
| 16th April 2006 Rebecca | - From: Day 29 - Bahrain mmm....cannons...... |
| 15th April 2006 Celeste | Barking Spiders - From: Day 30 - Bahrain Henry, please do not bring home any Bahrainian Barking Spiders!! |
| 15th April 2006 Celeste | Another little note - From: Day 29 - Bahrain I found it funny that while I was reading your blog about Kai acting up, Elle is here crying because I put her to bed...... |
| 15th April 2006 Celeste | - From: Day 29 - Bahrain Duckie and Paddington seem to have recovered quite nicely from the trip to Dublin. I don't know that you should let Kai play with them, they aren't a very good influence!! |
| 9th April 2006 Augusta | Coolness - From: Day 21 - London Oh, yeah....have I told you lately, Henry, how cool you are? No? Well, you are. |
| 9th April 2006 Mom | Statue - From: Day 21 - London The statue of Abraham Lincoln in London reminded me that there is a big statue of Churchill in Fulton, Missouri--about 30 miles from Columbia! It is on the grounds of a chapel which they moved from England and rebuilt here, and there is a Churchill museum in it. |
| 8th April 2006 Augusta | London comments - From: Day 21 - London You're forgetting one important part of the equation---every city a guy and his horse....and SWORD! Don't forget! Too bad you didn't ride the London Eye. That seems like a lot of fun and might have been a good photo op, but I understand why you didn't in the interest of time. Love the pictures of Duckie and Paddington by Big Ben and Buckingham Palace---they're really starting to look natural at this whole traveling thing! |
| 8th April 2006 Augusta | Brit Land - From: Day 20 - London I like the added historical information and links....very cool. Gives us a little bit more feeling of being there, being able to learn more, etc. Thanks again for great pictures, too! |
| 8th April 2006 Celeste | WOW - From: Day 20 - London Wow Henry you've been very busy!! I finally was able to get on and check out all the days that I've missed, and they have been very eventful! I wish I had gotten your call earlier in the week, but I did hear it ring. I'm looking forward to when you get back!! I know that Gus is pumped about you coming to Bahrain! |
| 6th April 2006 Vanessa | - From: Day 14 - Cinque Terre Wow. It looks so amazing!!!! |
| 6th April 2006 Augusta | Skiing - From: Day 19 - Engelberg Woah! What a day! Looks pretty exciting, beautiful....and COLD! It also looks like Duckie and Paddington are getting a little close to the edge there in some of the pictures. |
| 5th April 2006 Rebecca | all i have to say is.... - From: Day 19 - Engelberg ooooooh...... |
| 5th April 2006 Ivan | great - From: Day 18 - Engelberg As I told you, Switzerland is a beautiful country. The pictures are great. Houses are beautiful, also and nature. enjoy in your trip through Europe? |
| 3rd April 2006 Ivan | horse again and again - From: Day 16 - Lyon This picture with French Alps is great, I prefer this one rather than one with horse on it. Also Cinque Terre is amazing. |
| 3rd April 2006 Augusta | Skiing - From: Day 18 - Engelberg Woohoo! Skiing in Switzerland...pretty awesome! |
| 3rd April 2006 Augusta | Pictures - From: Day 17 - Lucerne I was about to say: Where's the pictures! Hope you got pictures of the slide. |
| 3rd April 2006 Adele | Building codes - From: Day 14 - Cinque Terre How do people have toddlers in those towns? WOW! Those photos are breathtaking! |
| 2nd April 2006 EchelonFive | Warmer - From: Day 16 - Lyon Well, it is warmer all over, it is just that going from -20 to -5 celsius doen't melt the snow. So, there is kind of a line along the mountains, above which there is snow. Also, Athens is much further south than France. And even Greece still had some snow on the mountains. Therefore, it does vary depending on where I go (in Athens, I wore a t-shirt and shorts, while here in the Swiss Alps I'm all bundled up). |
| 2nd April 2006 EchelonFive | Yep - From: Day 15 - Genova/Turin/Train That is a lot of nights at the HI. |
| 2nd April 2006 EchelonFive | More on the buff side... - From: Day 14 - Cinque Terre Yeah, my legs are getting a lot stronger... as well as my back. By the time I get there, I don't think I'll have any soreness. Also, my shin splints are more or less gone. :) |
| 1st April 2006 Augusta | Walking - From: Day 14 - Cinque Terre So does that mean you're gonna be incredibly buff from all the walking when you get here?.......or just sore!!! I'll get the epsom salts out for you! |
| 1st April 2006 Augusta | Weather - From: Day 16 - Lyon You said the snow is melting in the mountains....is it still cooler there, or is it getting warmer? You said Greece and Italy had springlike weather, just wondering if it was staying the same or being variable based on where you're traveling. |
| 1st April 2006 Augusta | Cool pics - From: Day 15 - Genova/Turin/Train I like the aquarium pictures! You really have 180,000 Holiday Inn points? |
| 1st April 2006 EchelonFive | Miles - From: Day 14 - Cinque Terre A rough guess is about 10 miles. I have not mapped it out, though. I am still sore, and then yesterday, Teresa and I hiked all over Lyon, France (more on that, soon). |
| 1st April 2006 Augusta | Cinque Terre - From: Day 14 - Cinque Terre I am now 100% convinced I want to go to Italy! What a hike, though. How many miles did you cover? |
| 29th March 2006 Augusta | Looking up - From: Day 13 - Italy Sounds like things are looking up. I wasn't able to look at your itinerary because I don't have the right program to read it. I'll have to ask that it be re-sent from Mom. Still can't wait fo you to be here in Bahrain....no more hostels! Woo hoo! |
| 29th March 2006 Augusta | Bummer - From: Day 12 - Patras/Ferry Bummer, dude. |
| 29th March 2006 Rebecca | - From: Day 13 - Italy beautiful pictures, as usual. may i have your express permission to use some of them as desktops and screen savers? hehehe.....hey, i hope you feel better! drink lots o' orange juice (or just borrow some oranges off those trees!) |
| 28th March 2006 Saint | Athens - From: Day 11 - Athens Lucky to be in Athens just as the weather here changed to what it should be (and under normal conditions is). Not being too abnoxious, I hope, just a correction: The hill opposite the Acropolis is the "Pnyx" not the Pynx, the place were ancient Athenians gathered to discuss and vote on public affairs. Safe journey! |
| 27th March 2006 Robert | nice - From: Day 1 - Paris man that is awesome, I hope to see more pics |
| 27th March 2006 Ivan | super - From: Day 11 - Athens You made some fantastic pictures in Athens. As I can see you have visited the most beautiful places there, such as Parthenon. I can not wait to see pictures from Switzerland. |
| 26th March 2006 Augusta | Athens - From: Day 11 - Athens Athens looks incredible! What amazing buildings and the weather, too. I wish I could be there! |

| 24th March 2006 Augusta | Statue comment - From: Day 6-7 - Belgrade Why does the statue guy have a sword and a bird and is naked? See, that's what happens when you drink all that Serbian wine! Let that be a lesson to you, Henry! |
| 24th March 2006 Augusta | Travel is exciting - From: Day 8 - Belgrade Wow! I can't believe you don't know what you are going to do next. Very exciting! You're pretty brave. Oh yeah, I'm majorly psyched about you coming to Bahrain! Only 16 days! Can't wait! Can you e-mail your itinerary to my new e-mail address? augustacherri@hotmail.com |

| 20th March 2006 Augusta | Photos - From: Day 2 - Vienna Wow! Your camera takes some great photos. The cathedrals look incredible! |

| 17th March 2006 Rebecca | - From: Day 1 - Paris cute, Henry, real cute, that duckie....is that yours??? |
