so ashamed Hi, I just read your post about your erratic experiences in my country (Mexico), I am so ashamed of the behaviour of all that idiots that almost sunk your trip, I hope you don't believe all mexicans are chauvinist, idiots, that are only awaiting an opportunity to jump to a lady. Well, I hope next time you visit us (if you want to), you can get a much better experience. Kind regards, Leo.
WOW i have also been to nicaragua and i was at a hotle named montelimar it was so amazing i never had gone to such a great country befor and trust me i have been lots of places
Anxious to visit Nicaragua I read your article about Nicaragua, it sounds to me a small but full of traditions country, a place where you discover a totally different world, where you can be in touch with nature, art, and hospitality, and over all you do not need to break your piggy bank to have a good time.
Amazing! I love what you've written and plan to visit your journals once, or twice, again to read about your adventures. I will be leaving my life in California to explore Europe in two months. I am due to come back in December, though everyone tells me that I won't be coming home. It sounds like you never did return? Maybe I'll run into you out there. Have a wonderful time in your world and thank you for sharing it with everyone. :)
San Blas Islands Jeni We went on a 2 week cruise in Sept 1978. This cruise was chosen because it DID stop at these islands. I had a few small molas and wanted to go to where they'd been made. What a wonderful experience! It is beautiful there. They live in such a different way from us. Our stay was much too short, only a few hours.
JJ I'm one of salsa Roman group who met Jenni in her adventure in Rome: i can tell everyone that she is very special, different from the rest of people in this galaxy...her force is her courage, and obviously her smile.Jenni,you have taken a lot of beautiful memories of Rome, but i sincerely tell you that Rome, with you, had a new, distinct glare, also for me, nevertheless i'm roman... a big kiss to my JJ, Mauro R.
Love, love, love your writing. I'm not much of a traveler, have never been to Rome, but feel you've taken me there somehow. Can't wait for our next journey :)! Thanks-
Battle lost... but not so much Hi! I've read your three Mexican blogs carefully. I found a beautiful quote on the Travelblog's home, the one about the knight's fight for your hand, Guatemala and Mexico, and being a Mexican man that definitely made me feel attracted, read it and feel so pleased. Then I went to your second blog, and got really pissed off. I understand perfectly what you are talking about, what happened to you happens regularly to Mexican women, and the same people that hassles you are those who would feel enormously offended if anyone would talk to their mother/sister/girlfriend on the street. I shared your point of view: the most cultural rich place will not gain your heart if its people didn't stand at the same height of that apparent richness, and at the end, before the fact that Sir Mexico lost the battle, I just thought: "Yes. We deserve it, and so will be until we don't cut our stupidity and rudeness from the root". Luckily, things went a little better for you and the story, as I could read on the third. Well, at the end you found something nice, like the Garcia family. I'm so happy they were there to redeem our image, or part of it. I prefer to think that people like those constitute the real soul of the Mexican.
I'm on a RTW trip and writing a blog, too. Just in case you are interested (which would be nice, as most readers turn to be mainly photo watchers, cause it's in Spanish, and you can understand it): www.travelblog.org/Bloggers/Temoris/
Saludos desde Nairobi, Kenya!!!
You write so wonderfully, and I love your attitude. I'm so glad you include the low points with the high ones. I'm heading to Rome myself on Thursday, as an unprepared and inexperienced traveller - I was feeling anxious but now I'm really excited!
Beautifully written Hi Jenny, my girlfriend is moving to Rome in September - I've mailed her this blog, I think she'll really appreciate it, it's great!
one more question but appearently you have met the guides of Playa Volcan? because the darn guide dog pretty looks like Nickels, the dog of Pancho aka Francisco..
San Blas Island Jenni
I was there in December 2004, and is certainly a backpackers desert island paradise. Check out my link of some more cool images of the island.

Hello Hi Jenn,
I stumbled across your travelblog and have really enjoyed reading about your adventures so far. Being in cold, snowy D.C. I am dreaming about going to Central and South America. What other places are you planning on seeing? Thanks for sharing your adventures with us random daydreamers out there. - Casey
Headed to Bocas in a week! I can't wait to get back to Panama and leave our cold waves in NY for the warm tubes of Isla Colon! :) Where in Panama are you? Maybe we'll see you in a week, enjoy! Pura Vida...Buen viaje...hasta..

Hope the bug's gone I sure hope your feeling better, Jen. I'm so excited about this adventure of yours and that you're letting us all read about it as you go. Take care and have fun. - Darcy
I love you! I know you've heard "be careful" from everyone, so I won't be redundant. So instead, I say, have a wonderful time! No matter where life takes you or what emotional rollar coster either one of us may be on, you will always be my best friend. I hope you find what it is you're looking for. Love you! - Pam
"As long as possible live free and uncommitted. It makes but little difference whether you are committed to a farm or the county jail....

Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." -- Henry David Thoreau (Walden)
So I did it, escaped the conformity of the corporate ratrace while I still had my youth and sanity, to see the world with my own two eyes and embrace all its beauty and ugliness. Central America to Europe to Southeast Asia in 2005; 2006 will find me ex... full info
