Love the top ten!! And the blog in general... So glad that you guys made it back safe and had such an awesome trip!! However, I wholeheartedly agree with #1 and therefore cannot speak to you until I am on my own trip!! Haha!
it is weird dating someone with the same name yo. great top ten. i myself observed the very same thing. i am so glad you are back and i can't wait to see an album compilation of your trip. i think it is a great idea to intersperse the blogs with the pics so they correspond.
peace out, jobless siblings. :)
love you

i totally remember the foam spray cans in paraguay. one of the years i wasn't there for it, but brendan told me he saw this asshole volunteer accidentally spray a cop in the face and got 4 quick smacks in the chest with a billyclub. it sounded pretty sweet.
dream hostel I can't wait to greet you guys when you get off the plane in Denver with a can of spray foam and big bag of water baloons...you know for old time sake. Just kidding. But no seriously, I'm thinking about it. I think I've heard of another place with cheap beer on tap, good food and plenty of people to play cards with. It is called Heaven. Jess, you're a champ and Mike, don't feel bad. -- Nerd
Great Story I'm an Aussie who spends a lot of time working in Bolivia os I really appreciated this story, but I'm a lot older than you guys and I left Carnaval at 4.30am after a serious night of challa the night before. you need to pick your game up. It's such a wonderful country though, enjoy the rest of your stay.
amazing photos! you should put together one of those albums online of your trip so i can never look at it or i will die of jealousy. sounds like you are living it up to the fullest! see you soon.
love you
ryan
ps. i'm taking care of your trust taxes. you can thank me later with a bottle of something hard. :) xoxoxo besotes
I'm in Dead puma in the closet? That does smack of bells and whistles. I love these photos - this is the South America I would love to see. Adding Bolivia to my list.
Gorgeous Photo! You two are so beautiful! I love the photo of the two of you. We are all at Ryan's right now: Skeels, Ryan, Colleen and the babies. Everyone sends their love. We loved the blog and all the great stories. We love you!
See you on the 4th!
Oh what a night! Mike! You are a genius and seasoned traveler! I am so proud of you for only taking out enough money to pay for the cab - I see that you're the wise man when it comes to traveling from here on out. Croon on, young pajaritos!
You know you're an old man when.. There are three signs of old age. The first is your loss of memory, the other two I forget.... A little popsicle stick humor for ya! Have fun, love you both!
Bowling and flaming absinthe? I didn't know that those "two" went together? Well, what do I know about some "people" taking part in a South American Rumble? What a premium pair of bowlers, too. Greg

colleen
Oh man! I can't believe you lost your photos, that totally sucks. The ones that survived are great. Jess, you precious thing, didn't anyone teach you not to follow those who jump off of cliffs?!? I love reading about your adventures, keep 'em coming! Stay safe and have fun! Love you both!
sandles the hammock picture seems to be some sort of trick. those sandles look to be both under mike and 6 feet closer to the camera than him. i swear. click on it. 1 month!
Amazing Trip! We can't believe you hiked fifty miles. We saw all of your blog entries, and it was cool that you both went hang gliding in Rio. The pictures you took are beautiful. Your u-tube videos were very entertaining. Your mom is a wonderful teacher. (She made us say that since she is the one typing this......) We are looking forward to seeing you when you visit our school and do your presentation about your trip. Some of us are really interested in how you land when you go hang gliding. See you soon.
Love, All 23 of us in your mom's class
You ARE my heroes! Your writing is superb, the images breathtaking and palpable. Very few couples have this kind of opportunity, and you are taking advantage of it with enthusiasm and grace. To say that I am proud of you is an understatement!
Your ever-lovin' mama
You Two Are Amazing! What a journey! I am so happy for you both and in awe of your climbing abilities. Your fortitude sure is way beyond mine. You must be in terrific shape to do all the hiking you are doing!
I love you, Mom
Jess and I just got married in August and are embarking on a journey to South America where we will be hiking, farming, surfing, learning, and making new friends. We will be traveling until March. See you when we get back. We hope you enjoy our blog.
