11th August 2006 Maria	wet camera - From: Home Sweet Home, Here I Come! Nila, didn't you learn the first time you got your camera wet? I hope you had a dry bag! You are uncoordinated and this was putting your camera under serious risk!! haha. I guess you're almost home anyway though.... see you soon! :)
6th August 2006 Dave	- From: Oxford Update You saw Patrick Stewart in a play that's awesome!...Sean Connery would have been better, but Stewart is the second best British actor in my opinion. Sounds like you're having a lot of fun, we miss you at Sheridans :-) Dave
4th August 2006 Dee	- From: Pooed on in Paris Hahahahahha. I love the Louvre pictures! Whatever bird pooped on you must have been saving up - you look like you got it pretty bad! Okay, now I have to go back to freaking out about my intern presentation tomorrow. Bye byes!
2nd August 2006 Nathan Lewis	The world was created for the sake of the Church - From: Roma! JMJ - IHM - Wow Nila! I love hearing about your trip, especially Rome. What a gift this trip is for you. God is so good! I hope you continue to have a great time and I look forward to catching up when you get back. The tomb of JPII the Great and the current Holy Father rock my socks off. You're so cool. Tell Nate hi from Nate. Ave Maria!
2nd August 2006 Grams	Rememerances! - From: Pooed on in Paris Hi Darlin! The pigeon is saying, "bombadier to pilot -- bombs away!" Brings back an incindent when I was with Hanna at a beach in Jersey on the Atlantic and -- yeah -- birds don't discriminate -- poor Hanna -- 2 years old and "bombed on"! Because of that -- the trip has ALWAYS brought forth fond memories. Your postings have been so "visual" -- It's like being there -- even down to rubbing my tummy and saying "yum" after those luscious desserts. This "magic experience" will soon be over -- but -- the memories will live on -- and the bird incident will make the trip more memorable! I'll be seeing you in 2 weeks -- !! My luv and His Blessings, Grams <
1st August 2006 Clean Maureen	HEHEHEHE - From: Pooed on in Paris HA hahaha! Thats really all I've got! Sounds like a blast ~ all except the pooing part! Love! ~Maureen
28th July 2006 Dee	- From: Schön Salzburger! I remember really long horn things from our going away party in Switzerland. They were really fascinating, and everyone (this was a music tour) wanted to try and play them. Hehe. Quite possibly not the same, but mildly relevent. =) Three more things. One, The Salzburg Card sounds like a truly amazing thing. Two, I'm having a really hard time picturing you drinking beer. And finally, most importantly, number three - I miss you!!!
26th July 2006 Maria	hee haw - From: Schön Salzburger! Wonderful Lar.... I especially like to see Nate falling off the cliff. Whenever someone other than a Holmquist is the one tripping, falling, making an iriot out of themselves... you must capitalize on it. Salzburg sounds awesome -- and way to go college students counting the dollars on the free card. I won't tell you that that is very Holmquist-esque of you to add each cent saved, and potentially spend more than you normally would have just on purpose to get your money's worth out of it. But, ahem, ah yeah, you know.
26th July 2006 MaureenIWIshIWasThere!!!	Um, dang!! - From: Schön Salzburger! Nila ~ that sounds perfectly wonderful and amazing. I agree that I wish I had better words, but it sounds lovely, and you look lovely and so happy! Have a Blast dear friend and know that you are missed, but I am SOOOOO excited for you and that you are having an AMAZING time!! Tell Nate hello for me!
25th July 2006 Joe	Salad - From: Schön Salzburger! There was one thing wrong with that salad, where was all the meat?
22nd July 2006 Miranda	"zaz" - From: Schloss! You went to Neufschwanstein! Jimmy and I got to go there with his parents, as I'm sure he told you...the memory that sticks out the most is a small bavarian waitress calmly but assertively correcting Mr. Barnes' pronunciation of the castle :) "stein"..."shtein"..."stein"..."SHTEIN"! Ohhh, good times. I love reading your journals! Thanks!
19th July 2006 Dave	- From: English Heat Wave of 2006 Thanks for the post-card and I was very jealous the Hofbrauhaus looked great :-). I'm sorry it's been so hot, I can't imagine dealing with that I've done very little outside because of the heat here. Little known fact I actually really love classical music so the Mozart concert sounds very appealing to me I hope you enjoyed it. We all miss you at Sheridans! Well the ones who matter do anyway :-), have fun!
19th July 2006 Nancy	Heat wave - From: English Heat Wave of 2006 I don't know how you're doing it without fans, let alone air conditioning. We'll keep our fingers crossed for cooler air for you! It's so fun to explore through your journals and pictures! Keep them coming! Love you! (No news on Wain - still in the hospital.) Nancy
19th July 2006 Dee	- From: English Heat Wave of 2006 I'm loving all the emphasis on food in your posts! Delicious! I'm glad your professors are interesting, and that you have so much free time. Hopefully, the weather gets better because I'm sure that is just MISERABLE. Not at all conducive to sight-seeing! Anywho, I think this bubble tea restaurant thing is closing soon, so I'm off. I CANNOT wait to see you in August!!
17th July 2006 Jimmy	following in my footsteps - From: Posting from Germanz again... Wasn't Dachua amazing? Again, I can't wait to talk to you about your travels and hear how everything's going in London. I'm glad to see you found some good German beer. Nuts. That's all I have to say about that place after dark. Great reading your posts. Keep an eye on Nate for all of us back here. You know how he can be...
17th July 2006 Jimmy	whisked away - From: Roma! It's great reading your journals. I know exactly what you're talking about with all the Italian experiences. Isn't it fun? Well, maybe not when you're there, but you know what I mean. I'm definatly going to have to get some more detail on the Rome trip (as you might already know) but it's great to hear everything went so well and you're getting to see what you've wanted! Stay safe - I'm so proud of my little sis.
16th July 2006 Nancy Main	Awesome pictures - From: First 2 Days in London! Nila - these pictures are the best. I'm so glad your camera dried out! I know you're having the time of your life - memories you'll never forget! Here's hoping your studies at Oxford go well. Wain's new room doesn't have internet, so he'll have to wait to see the rest of these when he gets home (? no idea when that will be). Love, Nancy
14th July 2006 Pam	Swim Free! - From: First 2 Days in London! I am so jealous. You are doing way cool traveling type things and it looks awesome. The pictures are absolutely amazing. You are going to have to do some crazy things and tell me about them when we get back to school. We can even have it like a briefing. I expect you to prepare a board with charts and graphs and stuff too. Hope that things continue to go well. I know I will be checking back.
13th July 2006 Dee	Scandalous - From: Posting from Germanz again... Those are two very LARGE beer mugs, Nila Kay!!
13th July 2006 Dee	Drooling - From: Schloss! I love, love, love Neuschwanstein!!!! Okay, I'm so insanely jealous right now that I can't think of a single thing to say.
11th July 2006 Maria	haha - From: Schloss! Nila, the funny thing about your transposed letters is you may actually sound a little German. haha. you are German, you know. The castle looks gorgeous... you ought to have some frameables out of that one! Dachau will not be as entertaining. Love you!
10th July 2006 Mom	only 4?? - From: Venice Thanks for the pictures!! But....only 4??? Isn't your Dad taking scads of pictures?? What's the deal?? I haven't talked to you guys in 4 days and all I get is 4 pictures?? Sheesh! Okay, just had to rib ya. The pics look great and I'm so glad you're seeing it all!! Meanwhile, I've started planning our January trip-- ha ha!! Have fun-- stay safe-- we're missing you!! love mom/ joni
9th July 2006 Monica	Wow - From: Venice dude, nila, it looks like its been an awesome trip so far!! and you got to see nate again, yay!! i'm anxious to hear how you'll like Muenchen (sorry, reverted to my german there, lol) for obvious reasons, but rome and venice looked amazing. and all the history at the vatican! wow, even for someone like me (aka without the catholic background) it would be truly awesome to visit. i hope your camera heals over the next few days!! love ya... take care of yourself.... :-)
8th July 2006 Dee	- From: Roma! Wow, Nila! Your pics are awesome! It's great to hear that you made it over there A-OK and are enjoying yourself. I would agree - the driving is nothing short of insane. Yikes! Keeping soaking up the history, and maybe not so much of the sun!! =)
8th July 2006 Joe	Ouch!! - From: Roma! Looks like your Dad is in serious pain ;). Looks pretty awesome, have tons of fun!! I'll be seeing ya.
