Hey your first entry I was really pleased to see a blog already. Sofia sounds lovely and the contrasts fascinating (I mean the European and Soviet influences). I was not prepared for the Greek influence although I should have been if I had thought about it. Glad that you get on with Nik, not much good travelling with someone you don't like. Was your meal an expensive one for Sofia or about average price? I hope that you are taking lots of photos so that I can see what you saw and get even more jealous. I presume the next entry will be from Macedonia. Anyway, hope you had a good trip there and I look forward to hearing from you soon. I miss you already and miss not being able to phone you. I phoned Yaya this morning and just managed to catch her before she went off on her trip to Cape Town. She will be back on Sunday week.
Take care, have fun. Love you lots. Mom xxxxxx
We love your blogs Dear Elly Yaya and I are both reading your blog which we enjoyed, and wish we were there too. Yaya sends her love and hugs and looks forward to seeing you at Christmas. Enjoy yourselves. Glad that you are having a real good time. Stay safe.
Love from Mom and Yaya
Wizard of Mexoz Just finished downloading ALL your blogs. Too great for words. How can it possibly be that little Ellie can do all this. We are so proud of you.
See you soon U. Donny and A. Fran
All the fun and more Hi Little Pilavachi
Seems you are having a good time. I have just printed out a batch of blogs for Yaya so that she can read the exploits of the intrepid explorer!
Miss you lots and can't wait for Christmas!
LoL (that's lots of love, not laugh out loud!)
Great I have run out of adjectives to say how I feel about all that you are writing. Thank you for the blogs. I really enjoy reading them and it is great to know what you are doing. Look forward to the pictures and then I can read the blogs again whilst looking at the photos. Have fun and I hope Elizabeth manages to sort out her probs with her wallet being stolen. Hope she did not lose too much.
Love from Mom
Speechless Wow! Your last 4 blogs left me speechless. What a fantastic journey and what fantastic places you are going to and things that you are doing. I think that I am truly envious in a way but I am so pleased for you. This is something to remember for a long time, especially with your photos. Pity you haven't been able to upload them. Keep on blogging so that we can share in your experiences - thank you for writing them. Love from me
Toilet humour Only you, Elly, could manage to get into such a pickle with the rain, toilet door etc! Clinging wet clothes and hiking boots - the mind boggles! Glad you having a good time and hope that your Spanish improves so that you can teach ME when we see eachother! Hope you're taking lots of pictures. Lots of love R
Impressive and funny You had both extremes in the same day - at least the sopping wet part was on the way back. Think how it would have been if it started raining before you were able to explore the site. Shall I buy you toilet door for Christmas in case you feel Uxmal homesick? Joke. Thanks for your blog. Love to Nicola (even tho I haven't met her). Love to you - Mom xxxxx
Sounds like fun Hi Just read all the blogs and they look and sound good. Glad to see you are enjoying yourself and I hope your Spanish gets better than your typing But I will let you off (I am like that) as you probably want to get the blog done so you can head off for the next adventure. Take care and look forward to reading more. Me I'm off to have a drink of Sangria
Wow, wow and wow What a fabulous time you seem to be having. I am glad about the place where you are staying. Marie Elena sounds lovely and it is really nice for you to be staying somewhere like that and also have the chance to eat proper Spanish food. The street food sounds awful. And to see Salsa as "she is supposed to be" must be quite an experience - good fun. And to be there for the fun in the streets, not put on for tourists, sounds just great. I look forward to seeing your new hairstyle. How about a photo? Anyway, muchos amor querida de tu madre.
The party is on! Glad that you have started on your summer hols and that you have all the anticipation of a great adventure.
Looking forward to reading all about it!
Take care of yourself ...
Hey Sun Bunny Really look forward to reading more about your trip and, of course, seeing the photos when you get back. You are really seeing the world - east and west. Have a good time especially after the last few very hectic months you had. God Bless. Love Mom
