| 15th May 2008 Aunt Jocee | Quite the tree house - From: Chıllıng ın a tree house! Heh girlie, Love the blogs. What a great trip so far! Remember you learn something from every encounter, even if it is not to do it again. Keep safe. The ring was a great idea. Hope it deters those men. In Portugal, I hear it is butt pinching you have to watch out for, so proposals in turkey aren't so bad, n'est pas? Too bad your tree house was so dilapitated and I can see why it would be cold. We stayed in one in Belize, but it had a full comfy bed and temp was 80 degrees. But when travelling, cheap is good, so stay healthy, eat soups and fruit and stay well. Love Auntie Jocee and Uncle Bob |
| 14th May 2008 markandshelbywhipp | Great pictures of the Mediterranean Sea - From: Chıllıng ın a tree house! Hi Erin, Hope you are feeling better this evening. These pictures of the Mediterranean and Olympos ruins were great. The traverines are something to see too. The tree house looks like fun but to bad it gets cold at night. It looks like something you build when you were young. Take care. Great better. Love Dad and Mom XXXXOOO |
