| 26th September 2009 RaeDan | Wedding in Costa Rica - From: Hiking and wedding location scouting Yes, we got married on a small beach near the jungle in Costa Rica. The blog "Waves and Monkeys at the wedding" details our day :) |
| 20th September 2009 Rene | DID YOU GET MARRIED - From: Hiking and wedding location scouting Hi Rachael, I was reading one of your blogs and it mentions that you were looking for a location to get married, did you do it or will you return in the near future? |
| 17th September 2009 Mike | Have I missed anything - From: Waves and monkeys at the wedding Hi Guys Well - it seems I have not been following your goings on as closely as I have should have! I have just read and re-read this four times, sat closer to the screen, squinted then wide-eyed just to make sure I wasn't getting the wrong idea here. You've gone and got yourselves married you sly devils. Wow! Congratulations, and what a magnificent way to do it.... sneaking away, little (if any) family - reminds me of us. Well I had better look around your site to see wot else I have missed! Enjoy the rest of your travels. Mike. |

| 10th September 2009 RaeDan | - From: Volunteer stove building in Guatemala The most important thing to mention, is that the people of santa Maria de Jesus chose the addition of a stove when offered volunteer assistance for their village. It is they that think that progressing from cooking indoors over an open fire, will improve the overall quality of their lives, including no longer suffering the medical conditions that I mentioned. They are also concerned with the destruction of the forest that they rely on for cooking and heating, so a 60% reduction of the wood required for this is not only money well spent, but an improvement in the sustainability of this forest and the earth in general. |
| 6th September 2009 Paul | - From: Volunteer stove building in Guatemala Nice blog, but I don't understand why you say that cooking indoors over an open fire is an "issue" that needs fixing. Probably the majority of the world's population live this way and it isn't a big issue (at last for those people who I've met). In my experience, people would probably that the $200 was spent on something else (especially given how low their income levels are). |
| 18th July 2009 Berynice | Nice log and fotos - From: Beautiful San Cristobal de Las Casas HI! Very nice pics. Those "xylophones" were marimbas - they're in your last pic. It looks like the municipal band. And the drink you had was ponche (punch) made with fruit, as you noted, and the local brew pox (posh) and that is a special cake they put in their ponche (I prefer it without). The pox is also used in religious ceremonies. |

| 8th July 2009 Richard May | Goodness! - From: Theft on overnight buses Yep. That's the one thing about travel that I don't care for, the extra caution you have to take with your stuff. Sorry to hear what happened... hope the HD wasn't too much of a loss. Grrrr! See you in Costa Rica! |
| 15th June 2009 Richard Huckett | Lion's Milk - From: Harbour city of mosques Hi RaeDan Have been following your peregrinations in the Middle East via John Boy with much interest. Many of your tour highlights very nostalgic for me. Well written and illustrated travelogue. Congratulations.. Sad to hear your comment about the wine in Istanbul because I went native and sloshed down the Raki. Loved it but learned what happens when you drink Lion's Milk. Turkish Saying correct. "From Lions to Lambs in too many glasses! All the best Richard. |
