| 4th April 2007 joe | the hard part - From: Hooray for Posessive Pronouns the really hard part about learning german is when you return to america. then, the monolingual population bleeds the german language out of your ear. if you discover some secret source of friendly german speakers in local communities, please let me know how you found them. nice blog, by the way. |

| 27th March 2007 Kevin | Hofbrauhaus - From: A Day left to Chance I love that you found your way to the Hofbrauhaus...my grandpa Lawyer was the first US Soldier to find battered Hofbrauhaus during WWII when the 42nd Rainbow Div took Munich!!

| 19th March 2007 kyle | - From: Snowshoeing the Alps so jealous...bring kaya back to the states!! i want that dog! |
| 18th March 2007 Miriam | Hurray for Melon Schnapps! - From: Snowshoeing the Alps Hi Rachel, It's been so great to read about all your adventures. We saw your folks this past week, and Sarah was the best tour guide we could have asked for at Sea World yesterday. James did the steel eel with Sarah, but only if she would sit in front. . . . we can't wait to see you in person, and look through all your pictures and hear the wild tales . . . Love, Miriam |
| 16th March 2007 Amy Snyder | Vienna - From: How to Prepare for a Masquerade Ball My brother studied abroad in Vienna for a year. My family visited him during Christmas. It was a very interesting trip! Schnitzel reminded me of chicken fried steak! We didnt get to attend a ball though! That looked like so much fun! |
| 13th March 2007 Bork | Hagia, Hagia! - From: Building Respect Wow, I've always wanted to see the Hagia Sofia, I've always had some weird fascination with it, it just calls to me. I'm glad you got to see it! |
| 13th March 2007 Kate | - From: Skiing in Bosnia Really appreciate your contribution to widening our knowledge of the city. I'm going there in April and can't wait to learn and experience it. Thanks !! |
| 12th March 2007 Christina | - From: On Being a Solo Female Traveler I completely agree with being a SFT! When I studied in Dublin and traveled in groups, shopping was key, not seeing the beauty of the places we went to. It was devastating when we found ourselves outside Buckingham Palace at the exact time of the Changing of the Guards (which is a must-see) and they pulled me away because they were cold and bored and wanted Starbucks. When we went to Galway, I left the group while they were shoe shopping (in a store that we had in Dublin, mind you) and I got to see little nooks and crannies that were on side streets in the town that they weren't able to see. (I made them jealous with my pictures though!) I'm glad you are having a good time! I am so jealous of you experience! |
| 11th March 2007 Elliott | Awesome - From: On Being a Solo Female Traveler Hey Rachel, thats some great advice for anybody. Glad to see your still rocking the Europe Conquest, Dubrovnik looks just...special. Enjoy. -E |
| 3rd March 2007 Kersandra | Nice Poem - From: Lossiemouth Ha! Loved the Poem! I especially laughed about the Ronald McDonald part. I am going to Scotland in a few weeks and so decided to check out some travel blogs. Your pictures look very appealing and now I can't wait! Sorry I'm a random comment-submitter, K |
| 28th February 2007 Amy Snyder | pizza - From: Skiing in Bosnia That mayo pizza looks disgusting!! |
| 28th February 2007 Ann | Wow - From: Skiing in Bosnia That's really interesting! I'm so glad you are experiencing all this (except for having your wallet stolen!) Love you! |
| 19th February 2007 Nancy | England - From: Bulgaria Hi Rachel! - Finally enjoyed catching up on all your back dated BLOGS. Glad to know all is well! Spoke to the Whitehorns last night and they wanted to know if you might be visiting them on your way home - said they are all ready for you if it fits into your schedule. Think they miss you! You are a brave person to be traveling alone - be safe. Love - Nancy |
| 17th February 2007 Jamie | Did you munch on cicchetti? - From: Venice is Dying One of my favorite parts about Venice were cicchetti bars. Cicchetti are little bread slices with local ingredients like fish or cheese. I equate it to Venitian sushi. One euro each and a one euro glass of house wine. It is a good way to make up for the fact everything else is so spendy. |
| 12th February 2007 Amy Snyder | - From: Turkish Delight You look good as a biker chick! :) |
| 10th February 2007 Linnea and Joseph | Games - From: Two Guys, A Girl, and a Year in Europe I love your description of traveling with boys....I have a similar daily experiene living with the small boy in my house! By the way...of all of your pictures we have looked at in the last 30 minutes...Joseph responded to the pictures of games. He would like you to come "home" and play with him! |
| 10th February 2007 todd in dallas | why the medusa heads weren't straight - From: Breaking into Istanbul University hi, love your pics, reminds me of my time there with the US Embassy. don't mean to sound like an archeology nerd but Justinian(or was it Constantine?) dismalted the roman temple above where the cistern now sits, and using the biggest blocs(medusa and aphrodite's heads) used them to shore up the pillars(the 2/4 pillars they are under are higher that the rest). It was also a way for the Christian emperor to insult the old roman religions |
| 7th February 2007 Ashley | - From: Turkish Delight I hope that adam and elliot enjoyed the belly dancing!!!! congrats on the publishedness....you are amazing!!!! |
| 23rd January 2007 Amy Snyder | pics - From: Leather Sandals The pics are gorgeous! Very pretty view! |

| 14th January 2007 Ashley | - From: Becoming a gyro first...i miss you! second....i love the cat mixed in the ancient greek ruins! third....athens looks beautiful despite the mixed reviews i have received about the city. hope you are enjoying your new leg of your wonderful trip!!! |

I feel like we're traveling with you. I like framboise too...but I also kinda like beer...mostly the lagers.

| 13th November 2006 Nancy Kramer | Germany - From: Another one for the internet Hi Rachel - Tried to E-mail you but don't know if it was successful.

Keep it up. Love from Virginia Beach. - Nancy |
| 10th November 2006 Amy Snyder | Candles - From: Candles in the Snow Reading your experiences always makes me reflect on my own life. I bet the candles in the snow were beautiful! |
| 10th November 2006 Ashley | - From: Candles in the Snow I think that leaving Poland with the snow is a great idea!!! its real cold there!!! it sounds like you are getting to really experience europe....i cant wait to hear about your thoughts on berlin (i loved it!) a very artistic city... |
| 10th November 2006 Sarah | whoa - From: Candles in the Snow wow....that had to have been really neat. did they have gerber daisies?? |
| 10th November 2006 Hesham | your experience - From: Candles in the Snow your experience is so fascinating! Its amazing that you are going through europe and actually learning alot while you go through it. I wish you and Adam the best, and hope the rest of your trip continues to be awesome. |
| 9th November 2006 Stephanie Perry | How Beautiful - From: Candles in the Snow I can't wait to see those pics of the candles on the graves... you are such a wonderful writer Rachel...you should consider being an author. |
| 3rd November 2006 Amy | Good - From: Kilts and Celts it is a wonderful place 2 be |
| 1st November 2006 Amy Snyder | concentration camps - From: Bitter History Rachel, I'm glad you got to experience this very sad place. I bet it was fascinating and scary and emotional, all at the same time. I took a Holocaust class in high school and have always been intrigued by those horrible times in our history. I am just bewildered that people could be so cruel to other people, in huge quantities as such it happened. Good luck with the rest of your journey! |
| 1st November 2006 Ashley | A Strange Experience.... - From: Bitter History going to a concentration camp is something that cannot be described...only experienced....you really begin to question the world around you and the people that inhabit it....how could it be possible???? |
| 1st November 2006 Ana | Wow - From: Bitter History Even though we know about all this I'm sure it's an entirely different feeling than what we'd expect being there. You're a very wise one Miss Rachel. |
| 30th October 2006 Ashley | - From: Trainspotting did you love prague!??!?! i love the crazy art! the feet are very interesting....be ready for lots of strange food....who knows what you order when you dont know the language!!! |
| 29th October 2006 Stephanie Perry | Euro Trip - From: Trainspotting Have you seen that movie Euro Trip?? The part where they are riding in the train and that strange man won't leave them alone is hilarious! It totally reminded me of what you said about getting a 6 bunk sleeper on the train! LOL! Luckily (and hopefully) you haven't run into any of those types. :) I am totally impressed with you and Adam's navigation skills. By now I would have been so lost...you are really doing everything you can and that is AWESOME! I want to hear all the bits and pieces of foreign language you have picked up on your journey. :) |
| 25th October 2006 John Williams | Prague Culinary Suggestions - From: Czech this out On January 11, 1983--during an Austin College Jan Term--I had some really excellent beer at a place call U Flecku in Prague. It's probably still there (it has been there for more than 700 years). On the off chance that y'all see this before you leave Prague, you might want to check it out (I'm pretty sure they ha dfood as well). Keep watching & keep writing. JDW |
| 25th October 2006 Sarah | ooooooo checklesylvacia. - From: Czech this out wow-thats sounds really cool. Fried cheese? wowie, that sounds kinda gross but i'll beleive you if you say its good. SOunds like a super-nice tour guide/bus driver/angelic Irish guy. We miss you lots and lots here!!!!!!!!! |
| 24th October 2006 Hannah | Beautiful Ireland - From: Belfast Hi Rachel! It's been great following your trip. The photos of Ireland, and the Blarney Castle in particular, have been my favourite. Your trip sounds fabulous so please keep up the great travel stories. Doesn't seem that long since you were here in Australia telling me about your travels. Enjoy the rest of your time in Ireland and wherever else your travel plans lead you. Love Hannah |
| 19th October 2006 Allison | what to notice--murals and peacewalls - From: Belfast Look out for the strange ways they do barbed wire there--traditional, glass, etc--so many ways to keep people out. Did you see the police cars?--they are bomb proof. If you went up toward the city cemetery you would have seen another peace wall and in between it is a community centre that tries to be open for both sides... Did you get to meet with Peter? What about Hannah? Go visit Mornington!!!--they have a new mural up which represents the good in the community--not the paramilitaries!! They are trying to show that murals can be peaceful and bring people together |
| 19th October 2006 DAD | - From: Belfast Hi dear-Thanks for your informative blog on Belfast. Loved the photos but couldn't figure out quite the kissing the blarney stone photo. Were you being suspended upside down? Strange stuff. Glad you are getting into some decent hostels. Best to Adam. All is well here. We're looking forward to seeing you soon in Italy. No word from John but I calculate that he's been in a kayak for about 2.5 weeks and that's a long time. Hope he's still in one piece--above the water. Sarah is thinking about doing "club" volleyball and has try outs this weekend so her sporting life may continue. Be careful. Be careful Be careful. Adam: Watch over her if she's not careful. Love, DAD |
| 18th October 2006 Kristina | - From: Dancing with an Englishman Wow Rachel, it looks like you're having tons of fun. I just now got a chance to get on here, and I am amazed by all the things you have seen (and I am only to this entry)! You went to Salisbury? I agree, that is the most beautiful cathedral! And the town around it is super cute, too! ;-) |
| 17th October 2006 Amy Snyder | Shoes - From: Irish Blessing I love the shoes! How creative! |
| 16th October 2006 Ana Chavez | wow! - From: Irish Blessing These are my favorite pictures so far!!! |
| 16th October 2006 Ger Horgan | Great Pictures - From: Irish Blessing http://www.dingle-region.com |
| 14th October 2006 Sarah | we heart you - From: Rainbows i like rainbows, and your a really good photographer. good combonation. |
| 14th October 2006 Ana | deep - From: Rainbows this is pretty deep...no sarcasm...i'm referring to your last idea |
| 13th October 2006 Allison | Bloody Sunday and Puffins - From: Claims to fame When you go to the North go to Derry (or Londonderry--depending on who you ask) It is where bloody sunday actually happened. You can get an Ulsterbus there from Belfast. There might even be a red bus tour you can catch from the Holiday Inn in Belfast (I have seen it there on a sunday morning alot) but it is probably more expensive. You know, they do believe that the book of Kells was written at the Island of Iona--sorry that the weather was so bad there. If it makes you feel better the weather was bad for me there too. The rain pierces you. Did you see any Puffins? They are crazy about them there! |
| 13th October 2006 Patton | Life Journey - From: Irish Hospitality Rachel the blog is a great idea for allowing all of us to keep up with your travels. It takes me back a few years to the days when I set sail on an ocean so blue. The Freedom you have is inspiring. It is great to see the countryside where our family roots have been traced to so many with noble cause. All the way from Katy, Patton. |
| 13th October 2006 anonymous | - From: Adam's European Brew Tastings To Date Praying for your safety and happiness! So glad to hear that you are making the most of it! :-) Love, Molly Campbell |
| 13th October 2006 Ali and Al Get Wed | Good Effort! - From: Adam's European Brew Tastings To Date Well done on the beer front, Adam, keep up the good work! But Rachel, no mention of the 'exotic passion' you enjoyed in a pub in Findhorn?! ;-) Updates from here - the kitchen floor is finished (hurrah!), the wedding invites are all out and the giant blue daisies are hiding under a layer of wallpaper! Thanks for your help. Good to read about your onwards travel, we're thinking of you. Ali & Al x |
| 13th October 2006 Carrie | Where are you now? - From: Adam's European Brew Tastings To Date Its been too long since your last post. Im in Rachel and Adam withdrawl. I can't wait to hear about your current adventure. |
| 10th October 2006 Amy Snyder | BMW - From: Dancing with an Englishman Little sis! I love the BMW and all the pictures you have taken! Looks like you are having the best time! I will miss you this weekend at Homecoming! Be safe |
| 9th October 2006 Ashley | Your favorite so far??? - From: Adam's European Brew Tastings To Date so i would really like to know which is your favorite so far and how many you are going to bring back with you??? sounds like you are really taking one for the team when sampling all of these beers....ray really needs put forth more effort! |
| 9th October 2006 anonymous | faeries and gnomes - From: Wee Faeries ray i really need you to figure out the difference between these faeries you speak of and gnomes...they seem so similar...im definitely intrigued! i miss you lots and love to hear of your adventures...tell adam hello and homecoming and sherman misses you as well |
| 9th October 2006 whitemartin | Fairy Glen and the Councillor - From: Wee Faeries Hi I live close by and regularly work in the fairy glen with school groups and noticed your left offering... Macurdies exhibition was created by our councillor, not sure what it says about our democracy good luck with your travels |
| 6th October 2006 DAD | - From: Adam's European Brew Tastings To Date Please tell me all 29 were NOT in one sitting. Glad you are keeping hydrated anyway! Looking forward to seeing you guys in person in a few weeks... |
| 5th October 2006 Tara Singleton | - From: Wee Faeries Oh and if you can go to a concert performed by the Peat Bog Fairies... I highly Recomend it!! |
| 5th October 2006 Tara Singleton | Fairy Land? - From: Wee Faeries Did they take you to see the Fairy Land??? It looks like everything is really huge.....but you can climb up a mountian in a second........also, you can't whistle there or you''ll fall alseep for 300 years! Glad it's going well! Much Love TARA |
| 5th October 2006 Carrie | fun times - From: Wee Faeries So homecoming is next weekend. Are you sure you dont want to come to Sherman instead of Europe . . . Cellerman's has European beers- that's close enought, right? I love reading your updates and seeing the pictures- keep em coming! Tell Adam hello and I miss you both! |
| 4th October 2006 RTQ | Presbyterian - From: Wee Faeries Scotland is our Presbyterian heritage. God bless it! Google some of those towns if you have time and bore Adam with Presbyterianism. That would bring jealousy from me. I am glad to hear all is well. I am at the Church in Austin right now getting ready to lead Bible Study for the first time here. Jesus loves you and safe travels. |
| 4th October 2006 DAD | - From: Wee Faeries Woof-This is the funniest and most endearing of your entries yet!!! I've given your blog address to Mr. Carlson-a great traveler himself--(but probably not in your league - oh no! You are getting very introspective and its neat to read. Carry on the good work, world traveler (but be careful). |
| 4th October 2006 Ana | wow! - From: Wee Faeries your much descriptive stories of your journey remind me of how sad our corporate and market focused lives are...you write of wonderful places in this world...of its history and such, i write about football players and cheerleaders (wonderful, smart women actually). carry on girlie! |
| 2nd October 2006 DAD | Scotland - From: Lossiemouth Loved the poem and the pictures! We're following you all the way. Best to Adam. You two look happy. John called Saturday night late. He's boarding a bus at their base camp this morning (Monday) for an hour and a half bus ride to a ship which they will sail on for 8 hours to their point of embarkation with sea kayaks. Then its 28 days in the boats, a meeting at "rendezvous" to pick up their mountain gear and another 28 days in the mountains. He is with the mixed group (5 girls and 11 guys). All our love... |
| 1st October 2006 Ashley | - From: Lossiemouth im so glad that you are truly a traveler instead of a tourist....it makes the trip much more pleasurable and you really get to know your surroudings! your poem made me laugh and english/scot history is pretty cool! |
| 1st October 2006 Nancy Kramer | Friends - From: Lossiemouth Hi Rachel - You will find that the further you go and the longer you travel that there are no strangers - just friends you have yet to meet. And why did you not send pictures of NESSIE??? Where to next? We are truly enjoying following your adventures. Keep posting those blogs! Love - Nancy |
| 1st October 2006 Stephanie Perry | Dallas - From: Lossiemouth I bet when you saw that sign of "Dallas" your jaw dropped! When I was in Europe this summer any time I would see something that was remotely familiar I would have to run over and take a picture with it! Hehe, funny how our mind works. :) The photo of you and Adam on the arch "mini hike" is such a GREAT PHOTO!!! Keep it for a lifetime! You are very lucky you have someone like him to share this incredible expirience with. Sometimes when you are traveling, the person you are sharing your time and space with can make/break your journey! Hugs and Love, Stephanie Perry |
| 29th September 2006 Caleb | Cornish meat pies... - From: Kilts and Celts Ach, the beautiful homeland. Tell her hi for me. Takes me back to Scottish festivals past... I'm proud of you for taking on this adventure, and I'm looking forward to reading about your travels on the blog. Make sure and eat a meat pie for me, and tell bonnie old England I'll see it later. Also, don't know how much time for reading you have, but I just finished "The Once and Future King" by T.H. White. Definitely a cool book to check out about England in the Middle Ages, all about King Arthur and such but told with a different slant on it that's both funny and thought-provoking. Hope the traveling's going well. We'll say a prayer for you both. |
| 26th September 2006 DAD | Glad to hear all is well... - From: Kilts and Celts Scotland sounds wonderful. Was just drafting a letter to the Whitehorns thanking them for their hospitality. Glad you have found a mountain to climb in Edinburgh. John sent a long long email yesterday. He's good, working hard on Wilderness First Responder (WFR) training, working in the classroom all day and preparing for a big test at the end of the week. Then he's in the field for a month!! Awfully glad weather is good. Very smart of you handling england and Scotland now. Sarah misses you very much and remembers both you and Adam in her prayers every single night. Take care and know that we love you. |
| 26th September 2006 Stephanie Perry | Scottland - From: Kilts and Celts Ok, I definitely want to see photos of Scottland! What is the best thing you have eaten so far in Europe?? |
| 26th September 2006 Iain & Robina | Great to see you - From: Dancing with an Englishman Hi Rachel & Adam. Robina and I so enjoyed your company. I hope your journey onwards to Scotland went smoothly and you got lots of glares from the commuters for carrying those back packs during the rush hour! Are you are having a blast with the "Jocks" in Edinburgh? Keep the blog going - we check on it daily and have passed the link to Paul and Marian. Travel safely and very best wishes from both of us. Iain & Robina |
| 26th September 2006 Eman | Oh snaps! - From: Dancing with an Englishman Hey Rachel, your pictures are awesome! It looks like from the pictures that you two are having a good time but you know what, me and dude thought if adam was a good boyfriend he would have moved Stonehenge around to spell your name or atleast impressed you with his massive strength by knocking a piece of it over. Weak! Anyways, I am curious about the people you've run across. Or have you heard any crazy stories or legends? Oh and if you get to Norway, ask about me, I am kind of a big name over there. Well tell Adam I am well on my way with earning enough to buy my ticket to fly over the pond, I just cashed my lottery ticket and am now 2 dollars or should I say 2 pounds richer! I've gotta go decide whether I should spend or save my riches now. Adios. -Elliott |
| 25th September 2006 Ashley | - From: Dancing with an Englishman i love your mode of transportation and the food....AMAZING! |
| 24th September 2006 Nancy | Time in Petersfield - From: Dancing with an Englishman Appears as if you had a great time with the Whitehorns. Tell us all. Where are you guys headed next? Or maybe you don't want to leave! So glad we could hook you up. Be safe. - Love from VA. Beach |
| 24th September 2006 Kevin | Look out England - From: Dancing with an Englishman Looks like the Untied Kingdom has finally been blessed with your wonderful presence, curious camera, and graceful gift for words. You seem to be having an absolute blast! I enjoyed reading all your blogs as much as you seem to have revisting your journey while writing them. Have much more fun and stay safe, tell Adam hi....though he doesnt really know me..haha...keep writing so we can keep reading. luv kev.......ps...im super busy...cast in "I Am A Camera"....i play Clive (American, Tall, forties, drunkish) hehe |
| 24th September 2006 Stephanie Perry | Photos - From: Dancing with an Englishman I am loving all your photos...keep them coming girl! Warm Wishes, Stephanie |
| 24th September 2006 Susie | Greetings from Va. Beach - From: Sowing Seeds in Petersfield My heart is touched after reading your experience in Petersfield. I had the pleasure of living 3 doors down from Iain and Robina during their tenure in Va. Beach. You both are definitely living a learning experience ~ enjoy every minute ~ you'll have lots of wonderful memories for your future! Mawh, Mawh, Mawh, Dahling (get Iain to explain) Stay safe, Susie |

| 21st September 2006 DAD | Hi Angel - From: A Bright Day in Brighton Loved the pictures from Brighton...and Sarah was so impressed that you were thinking about her. She printed out all the pictures out and we looked through them all in bed. Be careful. Get enough sleep. Have fun and enjoy every minute. We got an email from John. He's doing ok. Sounded a bit homesick and lonely but that's going to change when they put him in a sea kayak. Take care. DAD |
| 20th September 2006 STEPHANIE PERRY | Weather in BRITGHTON looks great! - From: A Bright Day in Brighton Well, it looks pretty clear and beautiful... you are very lucky to get such perfect weather conditions.

| 20th September 2006 Carrie and Ashley | - From: ETD: 4 days Hey Rachel, so glad that you made it over there without any trouble. I like that Adam is carrying both bags in the picture . . . is that the real reason he is there? (jk of course) I think he should continue doing that for the next 8 months. Can't wait to hear about your next adventure. Tell Adam hello and we miss you both! |
| 19th September 2006 DAD | John is making progress!!! - From: Airplane Winshield Wipers John's flight landed in Santiago at 7:46 a.m. this morning (Tuesday). We hope he was on the plane!!! (and not in Lubbock ha ha). Pray for him. He's got to get onto the Chilean airline (LAN) in Santiago, fly to Balmacera, then get on a bus to Coyhaigue where he will meet his group at 6 p.m. tonight (Tuesday). Hope all is well. We're checking your blog and so is Aunt Betty. You are on my favorites list. Hi to Adam. Take care of our girl Adam. (Please). |
| 19th September 2006 DAD | Update 9/18 - From: Airplane Winshield Wipers Hi Angel-Glad you made it. We learned from Betty that you were safe and that we really should figure out what a "blog" is. So we did and all is well. John is still in Dallas (but is expected to get out to Santiago tonight (24 hours late) so your luck apparently isn't contagious! Glad London is fun. Can't wait for pictures. Be safe and remember to enjoy every single minute...(even the ones that aren't so much fun). Love you Angel. |
| 16th September 2006 Stephanie Perry | London is beautiful - From: Airplane Winshield Wipers You are going to absolutely LOVE London...I think! The weather can be droopy...but it all depends on WHO you are sharing your time with there. In this case, if Adam makes for good company, you will have a great time! How was the festival??? Best wishes! Stephanie Perry |
| 14th September 2006 Molly | My Word! - From: ETD: 4 days Well Sweetness, I certainly hope you have pants of some sort added to your list! :-) God Bless and have fun!!! Be smart! I'll be thinking of you! Love, Molly Campbell :-) |
| 14th September 2006 Stephanie Perry | I'm right here with you! - From: ETD: 4 days Rachel, You , Shelbi, Stephanie, and Brittany. Once members of a self proclaimed "Winnie the Pooh" episode...we were all there. Kanga (or was it Rabbit?), Eeyore, Tigger, and Piglet...we were all there. 4 completely different backgrounds and 4 completely different lives, yet somehow we all kinda stuck together. You have always been a leader, and you are intelligent beyond your years. You have a heart of Gold and I admire you for it...like so many people do. Congratulations and may you make the most of your journey. We are all here with you. P.S. If you stop by Paris, go to L'aduree (the most incredible French pastries). I was there this summer...it's the stuff that dreams are made of! Hugs and Love, Stephanie Perry |
