| 6th July 2009 Leigh Anne Goodman | - From: A Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow I came across your photograph looking for images of the church. I just returned from a trip to Ireland and have since discovered that my great, great uncle - Father Sears - built the church (literally, with his bare hands!) in 1955. We didn't get to see it while we werec there so I am searching for a nice picture of it for my mother. |

| 30th September 2006 peat | power to the people of dc - From: I LOVE DC PART I Street level photos show a life that the limo-loungers will never know....unless they're caught with their hand in the petty cash box....The Mall is the nation's front lawn and we are fortunate indeed to have it open to all. |
| 30th September 2006 Jim "Tanuki" Keech | Fantastic set of pix - From: I LOVE DC PART I You son-of-a-gun!!! Marvelous set of pictures -- and what an adventure! Of course, you know I'm jealous --- so --- where to next??? Just returned from a three-week junket to China -- working with Global Volunteers (out of St.Paul, Minnesota) as an English (conversation) teacher with 96 Chinese college juniors, most of whom are preparing to be tour guides and interpreters for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Lived in a small village - An Shang - northwest of Xi'An, a couple of hours flight west of Beijing!! When can we get together for coffee/chow/etc.?? And where are you bound for next??? (I still remember - fondly - out days in Shiga!!!) Jim |
| 9th May 2006 Peatyo | Mall Walk - From: WALKING THE NATIONAL MALL PART I CONTINUED Powerful images here. The mall belongs to the people. |
| 9th May 2006 Peat O'Neil | Walk the Walk - From: WALKING THE NATIONAL MALL PART I CONTINUED This takes me home to where my Mom pushed my stroller when I was a toddler some, ahem, 50 years ago. Many of the galleries and special gardens are new, but the castle, Natural History Museum, the National Gallery of Art and the Freer were all there in the 1950's and we'd visit them regularly. Thank you for an inspiring walk. |
| 8th May 2006 Tanja | Hi there! - From: Walking The National Mall Part I Hi Don, Great to hear from you and nice to read your stories. The last time I was in Washington DC (yes, that time that you just moved out) it was -12'C (ffffreeezing!). So different from your pictures...so green instead of snowy white ;) Here in Holland everything is fine. Our first sunny days (24'C)! So Marc, Jaro and I are enjoying the little walks that we make in our neighbourhood. Big hug from all of us Tanja |
| 7th May 2006 JUDY MILES | GOOD STUFF BROTHER-0-MINE - From: Walking The National Mall Part I DRS: Wow, this is a wonderfully simple and informative overview of D.C. T & I have not done this trip -- just passed thru one time a few yrs ago. From checking out your Blog Page, you have made it much clearer to those of us who have not been there as to what all is around this famous U.S. tourist attraction + more of a timing idea re moving from one place to another. Nice job/love the photos & titles, etc. See you in June/JM |

| 24th October 2005 Peatyo | Rainbow Tribe - From: A Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow Hola Donato, What a grand Irish memory. I share your aversion to left side driving and to the speedy drivers who nose the rear bumpers of nervous newcomers like us. Next time I'll walk and take the bus! Peatyo |
| 23rd October 2005 JUDY/TOM | NICE TRIP - From: A Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow DRS:We really enjoyed reading about your travels in Ireland. In our conversation recently, you said that you ate the delicious colcannan while you were there ~ what a treat that must have been! Just the thought of driving on the left (&I'm left-handed)is not an easy thing to imagine. Happy Trails Bro. |
| 17th October 2005 Fred | Hi old friend - From: A Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow Hey man! Great to hear from you again, its been a while. I can imagine you had some trouble driving on the "wrong" side, i could never do that either... Ireland's beautiful, at least it seems like it. Have never been there, but my parents and friends says i have to go there for some sightseeing. Good beer right? Anyway, i hope you and your wife are great and that you had a good time. Im fine, am actually going to London in two weeks to meet my brother. He's got a job there now so now i have another reason to go there. Have talked to Edward and Rachel, so im going to meet up with up them there. All the best, and i hope to hear from you again. Whats happening with your round the world- trip by the way? Your friend Fred |

| 20th August 2005 Peatyo | Cool Shades - From: Learning Italian Roman Style Ostia Antica is always empty of tourists because the ghosts eat the undesirables. The school mates and dinners look marvelous. You rock, Schlief. |
| 20th August 2005 Peatyo | Whoa-hoa - From: Learning Italian Roman Style Cool shakes and conviviality. Ostia Antica never seems to have visitors. I've been there 3x in 3 different decades and never any other visitors. The ghosts swallow them up. |
| 19th August 2005 peggy arbanas | thanks for sharing a great experience - From: Learning Italian Roman Style Don, I'm excited about your trip and great pictures that show why you are so enthusiatic about learning Italian.

| 1st July 2005 Peatyo | Cooks on grill and carries big stick - From: THINGS WERE COOKING IN DC LAST WEEK I'm not sure which photo the mighty Don is in. Could he be muffled in mufti in the Oman cooktent? Is he walking behind the tipi-style bean and corn plantings in front of the capitol building? Maybe he's hiding in one of the big metal grills waiting to be lit! Looking forward to your next travelblog! |
