| 7th August 2008 cricri | quito tambien - From: A trip to the market Just arrived in beautiful Quito today on the red eye from LA. Thanks for the tips on early morning bargains. Invaluable. My apt in the Mariscal is adequate except for the nearby Amazonas Boulevard is torn up, traffic blocked, and the city water cut off to the Mariscal. This means no shower for now. When you bussed it to Oltavalo, which beach did you come from? What will you do in Quito? |
| 6th August 2008 Jeannie | Food again! - From: A trip to the market Well food and shopping is the only way to go. Love seeing the market photos after a year away. My children will love them at school. Maybe I won't show the pig one??? Have fun packing and we'll see you Friday! Love us |

| 26th June 2008 Carolyn Taylor | church bells - From: Cuenca Dear Katem. I'm not sure if the same is true for Ecuador but I have been told this in Mexico & Costa Rica. The bells ring early to tell people to get up and start walking to the church. After the hour it is to announce when communion is beginning. In Mexico, this is often accompanied by fireworks! I spent 5 weeks in Ecuador in 2005 going to school and just enjoying the area. I tell everyone to go to Ecuador. It is a beautiful country with lovely people and you don't even have to worry about changing currency! Have you been to Vilcabamba? The ride alone is worth the trip. Stay at www.jardinescondidio.com for $10-12 a night which includes breakfast! Carolyn( blogger name' gunga') |
| 25th June 2008 AnnaAdventuring | And she's off again......!!! - From: Cuenca Well glad to see you survived the messy transfer flight and are enjoying yourself. It's nice to see this blog updated after so long. Have fun revisiting your babies!! |
| 14th May 2008 barrygahan | Mancora wasn't on our itinerary - From: Yet another beach But it looks like it's well worth a stop, especially for that sunset. Hopefully we'll fit it in before we get to Ecuador. |
| 14th May 2008 barrygahan | Nice pictures of Chan Chan - From: Temples in Trujillo We're seeing it this afternoon and I'm just looking up what to expect! |

| 5th March 2008 Craig Goldsmith | Great photos - From: Machu Picchu (in the mist!) Peru is next on my list of places I must see, and I loved your photos. I also enjoyed reading your entry on the floating reed "islands", a favourite cartoon of mine as a child Mysterious Cities of Gold visited the same place. Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos! |
| 27th February 2008 AnnaAdventuring | - From: Ecuador - GAP '07 Aw, happy memories. :) Looking forward to the return trip? Make sure you document that for us folks back home! |
| 8th October 2007 Anna | - From: Cusco Hmmmm.... you've been home for months now. You are installed in a cosy uni. room with constant internet access.... and you STILL haven't finished off your blog?! Come on Katherine! |
| 28th July 2007 Chris | Are you sure that's cola? - From: Cusco This rumour about strange cola has been spreading round the neighbourhood. You will have to bring one back for us to really believe it or not! Wonderful colours and atmospheres abound where you are. Enjoy your trip to the salt plains. |
| 26th July 2007 jeannie | Didn't I leave a comment or is it dementia?? - From: Cusco Hi I'm sure I left you a comment yesterday. Us mother's seem to think this cola is something else? Glad you are still doing the history bit. Was that the 7th museum behind the crowd. Maybe there was something they didn't want you to see. Love J |
| 25th July 2007 sue | Lovely Cola - From: Cusco Is it my imagination or does the cola look like very badly disguised wee? I'm hoping that Lou bought it for the obviously free t shirt & did not drink it! Well done for 6 tourist sites out of 7 in one day. PS tell Jack that when all my friends see any pix of him that they all say how handsome he is! Doubt whether he will be thrilled to have a fan club of middle ages ladies - but better than no fans at all. He reminds me of a young Georgie Fame, but I bet you won't know who he is! Much love Sue W |
| 23rd July 2007 chris | WoW! I'm thrilled for you & jealous - From: Birds, a plane...but no superman - Nazca Lines Hi, Kat, What fantastic sights and experiences you are having. I love the pics of the Nazca lines - it 's one of the things that I always wanted to see myself, to prove they are as they say! Do they have any theories as to how they managed to create them (other than spacemen!)? Take care of yourselves and continue to soak up your amazing experiences. Love, Dad |
| 18th July 2007 jeannie | So how long did it take you to draw them? - From: Birds, a plane...but no superman - Nazca Lines OK so are these lines a bit like crop circle. They appear over night???? So sorry to be silly. Sounds absolutely amazing.What's this about you flying the plane? Did the French tourists have any say?? Mum |
| 17th July 2007 Anna | Sandboarding fun - From: Sand-dunes and dead things! Hi!!!! Looks like you got the hang of that sandboarding lark. Looking quite the pro in those pictures! I will however wait for the video evidence before congratulating you! I bet there was more falling on your face than the pictures show!!!!!! Looks like a lot of fun... wish I could have had a go!! |
| 17th July 2007 Anna | interesting pots.... - From: Can skeletons have sexual practices??! Why do those pottery figures look so bored? Maybe they're not doing it right......? |
| 17th July 2007 Ellie | Query ... - From: Can skeletons have sexual practices??! Um ... can skeletons actually *have* sexual practices?! |
| 14th July 2007 jeannie | Pots to you!! - From: Gone potty! Well I always knew our family was potty! Did you actually count them????? Mum |
| 14th July 2007 jeannie | And you think you look tired??? - From: Border crossing Ok. So you're tired after that coach trip and you actually published the photo??? You should have seen me last week after the worst wee with those 24 little dears all over the place in class. I think I nearly fell asleep!!!!! Love mum |
| 12th July 2007 Wahid | yet more stunning photographs.... - From: Yet another beach Another gorgeous sunset Kat! I can't make up my mind if it's your photography skills or whether you just have that many gorgeous sunsets to choose from! Either way, it looks like paradise there. Lucky you! |
| 12th July 2007 Anna | Nice photos..... - From: Gone potty! Looks like you've gone potty Katherine!!! |
| 12th July 2007 Anna | Of beach huts and pelicans - From: Yet another beach Love the hostel Kat!!! Certainly looks like you've got all the comforts of home. Swimming pool?! Next you'll be telling me you've got sky television too!!!! Nice shot of the pelican... any sign of Paddington Bear in Peru yet??!!!! ;) |
| 12th July 2007 Anna | Fetching photographs - From: Border crossing Well Katherine darling, you look simply stunning in the photos. I've never seen anyone travel with such grace - you look fresh and relaxed and ready for anything.... hmm... maybe not!!!! |
| 12th July 2007 Ellie | How to be a Lady ... - From: Border crossing Honestly, Katherine - didn't you learn *anything* from that book I gave you for going away? An 18 hour coach journey isn't the end of the world, you know! ;-) On the up side, you seem very adept at pelican etiquette ;-) E |
| 27th June 2007 Wahid | You're back!! - From: Galapagos!!!!! Hi Kat! Glad you finally updated your blog. We've missed hearing from you. Looks like you had an amazing time. Love your pictures - hope to see many more when you come back. Take care and see you in a couple of months time. Love Wahidula. |
| 27th June 2007 Ellie | Various - From: Galapagos!!!!! Hello! Love the pictures - look forward to seeing the rest when you're back. Glad you named the turtle one, though, as I originally interpreted it as 'fat mermaid shadow' - which made Anna laugh at any rate! Love the natural history lesson to do with the booby nests - planning on a career change to being David Attenborough's apprentice ..? V nifty dolphin shot also. Please try not to get eaten by a shark - I don't think they'd reduce your air fare even if you did come back with two fewer limbs than you went! ;-) E x |
| 27th June 2007 jeannie | I am so jealous! - From: Galapagos!!!!! Wow Kat! That photo of you just sums it all up. What a fantastic trip. Great photos and I'm glad you enjoyed the food on boat! Beats eating on that Danish ferry. Love mum |
| 27th June 2007 Anna | Oh.... just plain WOW!!! - From: Galapagos!!!!! Hi Katherine!!! Hey look, I get to be the first comment on the Galapgos page! Absolutely amazing - been waiting to hear all about this for ages. Wonderful blog and the photos are so amazing. Love the blue-footed boobies. Out of curiosity did you ever find out why they have blue feet? Great picture of you with the sealions, and a very glamourous shot of you ont he beach. Am now completely green with envy. ;) Glad you had a wonderful time. Enjoy your last few days in Cuenca and keep us updated on your adventures around Peru. Have fun and take care. See you again in August!!! Love Anna |

| 7th June 2007 Anna | Ecuadorian fashions - From: Cajas National Park That hat has made another appearence.....!!!! Looking very stylish Katherine! Hope you're bringing one of those home for me - I'd look great refereeing football on the playground in one of those!!! :) |
| 5th June 2007 jeannie(mum) | Great Waves! - From: Sand, sea and .... no sun! Hope you weren't swept away too far ? Looks really rough there. Hope it wasn't too cold. What's this beach jewellery like? Sounds interesting. Any sealife out there to mention?? |
| 4th June 2007 Ellie | Any Seaweed..? - From: Sand, sea and .... no sun! Hey Katherine! *MORE* shopping for jewellery? What will customs say when you try to get it all back?! ;-) The surfing sounds like fun - no sharks in South America, I assume/hope! Were the rockpools interesting? I'm hoping for some proper Darwinian reports when you eventually make it back! Ellie x |

Tell her we love her! And all the kids too..thanks chau |
