Great Craic! Well done Ellen! You are the first person to write a blog that has actually made me want to go home! Cant wait to see you when I do finally reach the Emerald Isle again! Cant wait to read the Bariloche blogs! Remember to keep those bananas up turned!! x

He-fringes Stumbled onto your blog - heading in the opposite direction. Laughed out loud at loads of your observations about my home town. Good luck with your job hunting, sounds like you are truely integrated already - I'm off to get me hair chopped ;-)
Grand Hi there, great blog. I have just returned to the UK after a year in South and Central America. And I completely agree about getting used to the lack of a bin for the toilet paper!! Hope you get your job sorted soon. And keep up the blogging. Ruth.
Last Resort is Right Mate! Shall remember to knock Metalio Beach of my must-see destinations! Glad you're clearing the blog backlog - we Look forward to more (and go on, tease me with some Dublin pics!).
Yep, that sounds about right It pleases me very much to hear the accounts of our times at beloved Earth Lodge, hope all is well. When do you plan to return home?
My Fave Blog So Far Hi Ellen, sounds like you are having a fab time. This was one of my favourite blogs so far - felt like I was there, in fact, I wish I was! Where to next? Hope to catch up with you in the summer if you're around. Cheers, Andy
I love Belgium Since studying in Spain I've traveled quite a bit and must say I loved Belgium. While I agree with you on Brussels, I also wouldn't' suggest it to anyone. Bruges is absolutely beautiful as you mentions, but you missed out on Antwerp (another cool college town like Leuven) as well as Ghent, which is an extremely cool place (up there with Bruges).
bruges Recently returned from vacation in Europe and I came back with the same opinion of Belgium and Bruges in particular..What a bunch of a-holes...I usually never say that about an entire town...but I got the opinion that they honestly don't like Americans in general...I won't be back and I encourage others to avoid Bruges...
Hey! Right now, I was watching the movie we saw together here in Mexico, and I would like to thank you for those wonderful days together here in my beloved country, I miss you so much, stop by again, once again miss you, and wish you were here

Hi Ellen well we are enjoying all your travels through your blogs you sound like you are enjoying every minute..and why not.!! Cuba sounds interesting keep us posted Love Jeni and H
reliving the dream Maynesy.... So good to read the blog, just like reliving the trip a few weeks later. Have you been keeping notes becuase I wouldn't have been able to recal that detail off the top of my head (except about the stinking hippies, how could we forget the?)
One little side note, Teotehuacan is its own civilisation, prior to the Aztec civilisation by a few hundred years. Just thought id chuck that in becuase if some day I take over a large portion of mexico I don't want anyone else taking all the credit ;)
keep well
Hi Hi Ellen, sounds like you're having a ball - sadly the whiff of well-used and still-damp travel towel is but a memory for me now! Looking forward to hearing about Cuba. Cheers, Andy
That's a fantastic summary. Even I forgot how much we managed to cram into those few days...we were busy girls. I think the picture in the Lolita's Lust page actually shows our table..yummy!
all things Canadian Hi Ellen, So sorry I didn't get to meet you when you were in my hometown, Toronto. Really enjoyed reading about your Canadian Christmas. I can't tell you how many pit stops I've made at Tim Hortons in my life ...
P.S. I actually never talk about hockey ... but just in case a Canadian hockey fanatic reads your blog, our team is called the Toronto Male Leafs. The Blue Jays is our baseball team. Wouldn't want to incite any more blogflames ;-)
One small, but important correction.... I just can't let this pass... The Toronto Marlie's is the feeder team for the TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS, not the Blue Jays! Blue Jays play baseball sweet, innocent Ellen ;) Love you!
Disregard Patriotic Indian Hi there...
Do not be dissuaded with such silliness. Call it like you see it. You have depicted Calcutta in all its tormented images. You are writing well. Your portrayal is vaild. Keep it up inthe future!!!
