| 24th June 2006 mimi | hurrah - From: Friday (second post today) hurrah, hurrah. |
| 23rd June 2006 mimi | - From: Wednesday This just sounds like the most fun. I didn't know traveling around could be so exciting. Makes me think I would like to go somewhere. But I will need some fun folks to go with! Gosh, I hope you get to the Chocolate Museum. That maze sure was interesting. |
| 22nd June 2006 Annabelle | Hello Hello! - From: Tuesday We went to the Hershey Factory on tour! That was AMAZING!!! And don't forget, you have $30 to spend on me that I will give you once you get back!... Just a reminder =) I will deff. keep praying for you as you travel! I can't wait for you to come home! I love you dearly! |
| 22nd June 2006 Annabelle | HEY! - From: Moday Hey I saw the Saint Patrick Cathedral in NYC! It was pretty cool. I'm starting to wonder how you are going to eat when you get back to your real home. It will be different considering I only eat junk food! What are you going to eat?!? Anyways, I love you! |
| 22nd June 2006 Sister! | Glad you are alive! =) - From: Back in Barcelona Glad to hear yall made it back alive! I can't wait to hear all about it! I love you, Rosalie! |
| 22nd June 2006 mimi | chocolate and other edibles - From: Tuesday I just love it. It all sounds so grrreat. It is good that you are learning to eat differently, not that you didn't eat ok before. I wish I liked lots of odd things. (Glad you are seeing to your protein.) I just never learned to like spicy foods---and a lot of other things. What about the chocolate museum? I hope they sold chocolate also. What fun is just looking a chocolate? Sounds like a form of torture. Hope yall have a good trip back and don't hurt your back in the process. love ya, mimi |
| 21st June 2006 Dad | cathedrals - From: Tuesday Rosie, I'm so proud of how you girls are getting around so well and seeing so much. Got all the cards, thanks a bunch. The architecture is amazing, really makes you wonder how they got all that stuff up so high. Blows me away with all the new food you're eating. You have given the phrase..."Broaden your horizon" a new meaning.(haha) Chick-fa-lay will never be the same , huh! Love ya lots, can't wait to hear from ya, Dad PS- Hot as fire...97 today! |
| 21st June 2006 mimi | cathedrals - From: Moday I would love to see all those cathedrals. And I know you will be happy to see your own room and your own bed. |
| 20th June 2006 Momma | Yesterday - From: Moday Rosie, It seems you were just born yesterday and somehow today you are studying abroad. Where did the last 19 years go? Please know that you and Annabelle will always be my babies.......even when you have grey hair. You are loved and I am so proud to be your Momma. Hugs and kisses, Momma |
| 20th June 2006 Jeff | Apologies - From: Moday Hey Rosie (and Suzanne) ... sorry I haven't commented more, I'm still trying to get my brain unscrambled from a long choir tour. A great trip, to be sure, but we've been home for a week+ and I'm still dragging a little bit. I think I'm getting too old for God's Light tour ... I've been slack about emailing, because I haven't been home much, but I've been reading your blog faithfully. So glad that you're having a good time, and many new adventures. I'll look forward to hearing all the details when you get home. After you reacquaint yourself with Sam, of course .... I saw AB on Sunday AM, and she looked none the worse for all of her travels. Praying for you two, your last few days and safe travels home. Love, Jeff |
| 20th June 2006 Momma | Hugs, kisses, and best wishes! - From: Back in Barcelona Hola Rosalie, Como estas? Debes de amar espana, suena tan divertido. Ojala algun dia pueda ir. Sam, Annabelle y yo te extranamos. Esperamos que vuelvas pronto cuidate no comas dulces de los extranos. Te amamos. Estoy orgullosa de ser tu mama. Te amo, Mama |
| 20th June 2006 mimi | ice cream, pizza - From: Back in Barcelona Sounds great to me--lots of ice cream and pizza. |
| 16th June 2006 Annabelle | I'm Home!!! - From: Wednesday I am FINALLY home from tour and Big Stuf! I hadn't been home since June 3rd! Both my trips were amazing, kinda a blur, but very fun! From New York City to Panama City, I have traveled the whole Eastern coast! I guess I can't say much compared to you! I was sad to leave everyone, but ready to get home. Today, I slept until 9:30 PM! I guess that wasn't a big surprise, so now I'm up and can't sleep! It's 3:00 here so you can call me if you want! Who knows what time it is there? Oh yeah, and there is a certain boy I'm talking to and who asked me out on a date...if you can imagine who it is! =) hehe Anyways, I miss you tons! I got both your postcards! They were great! Thank you! I love you so much and am also very jealous! ~Adios!~ |
| 16th June 2006 Annie B according to GL ppl | Just wanted to say HEY!! - From: Monday There were no comments on heere and I couldn't let that happen!!! I LOVE YOU, SISTER!!! =) |
| 16th June 2006 mimi | meatballs - From: Weekend Adventures You are surely lucky to be staying with Lupe', having good food and being with someone who really cares. This is all so interesting, it is a great opportunity. Most of us really don't ever know how other people live. I think that dancing deal sounds really fun. mimi |
| 16th June 2006 mimi | siesta - From: Monday I didn't know that whole towns of people still did that. Sounds like a waste of time to gear up to get started twice in a day. But I guess they aren't concerned about time! Sounds impractical to me. |
| 16th June 2006 mimi | leg cramps - From: Wednesday Lupe' should patent that cream. I have such cramps once in a while, but never thought caffine might have something to do with it. Wonder what kind of cream that was. I know massage helps, but hard to massage your own leg when you are in a panic on one leg! |
| 15th June 2006 Momma | Ola - From: Tuesday Querida Rosie, Te extrano. Ten quidado. Quiero que tomes mucha agua de botella y que regreses rapidamente. Te amo. Tengo orgullo en ser tu mama. Con amor, Mama |
| 12th June 2006 Jean | Can't Wait To Read Journal - From: Weekend Adventures Hi Rosie, I cannot wait to sign on your travel blog each day to read your journal entries. They continue to be fascinating and funny! We saw Annabelle Sat. night and took her to the airport Sunday morning....she said she had really missed reading your journal. She was so excited about her trip as well as ready for her new adventure at camp. Look forward to reading about the concert... Take Care, Jean |

| 8th June 2006 mimi | fun - From: Weekend in Mallorca Gosh, Rosie, this trip sound great. Your "two" friends did good by yall on the hotel deal. Such fun to meet so many interesting people.

Ya just can't beat a "southern gentleman" like Sam huh! He and I have emailed, says he's holding his own...sorta! Love ya bunches! Hope Nite Nite is holding up well. Keep taking pictures. XOXO,Dad |
| 7th June 2006 Jeff | We're all traveling, just different directions ... - From: Weekend in Mallorca Hey Rosie! Glad things are going well. Choir tour is going fine as well. AB misses you, she has to make dinner decisions on her own, and she was complaining this morning that she didn't know what to buy for snacks or how much she should pay. :-) Pretty funny. Praying for you guys, pray for us too, but tour is going great so far. Good audiences, good performances, good visits with friends ... I'll give you all the details when you get home. Love, Jeff |
| 6th June 2006 Justin | hey - From: Weekend in Mallorca I wish I could have gone now. Sounds like you guys are having lots of fun. Even my grandmother is reading your travelblog. Got pics?

Whatever you do---don't flirt! I have been getting lots of work done--mainly because of having so much help. I did get over tired, but it is coming along great, have several more days of planting when they can come back. Love you, mimi |

So proud that you stepped up to the plate! FYI: I will be in the Okeefeenokee Swamp next week Tuesday through Friday lunch. No phone service there. I will be thinking of you and praying for you. You are loved and I am proud!!!! Momma |
| 2nd June 2006 Anabella!! =) | Salsa dancing sounds fun! - From: Thursday 6/1 I'm so jealous!I hope you have a blast this weekend in Mallorca! Today I have to pack my life up! And basically I have to do it in 12 hours! Plus I have to clean my whole room! Oh, and did I tell you there's an airport in PC Beach?!? That's where I should be flying to, but I booked a plane ticket to the wrong place! That was a big fiasco, but we got it figured out. Tomorrow, you will be in Mallorca and I'll be on my way to New York City! =) I love you dearly! |
| 2nd June 2006 Jeff | Ich bin Jeff - From: Thursday 6/1 Sorry, I don't do Spanish. I don't do German much either, since I'm 23 years out of college now (sorry, Sam) ... It is 20 hours until we leave for God's Light tour and I am almost packed! You owe me a pat on the back when you get home, this is the earliest I've ever been packed. Of course, I'll still be up all night picking out CDs and stuff, but at least the clothes won't take any time. Oh, and my bass sounds like junk and I can't figure out why. I'm sure we'll have many stories to trade after you get home, about GL tour and your adventures. In the meantime, it's good to hear that things are going well. You've become quite the world traveler. :-) Give my best to Suzanne, and know that our prayers are with you both. Love, Jeff P.S. - The World Cup starts next Friday, be sure to learn how to say the appropriate derogatory things about German soccer in Spanish to Sam. |
| 2nd June 2006 Dad | Bananas - From: Thursday 6/1 Hey Rosie, Glad you guys are doing good. I love hearing about the buildings. just a note....I thought bananas were spanish. They are from Brazil and other S.American countries, right? i.e.,Chaquitas. Did the Spanish bananas look different? Glad you are eating well. Hot here, how's the weather? Love ya, Dad |
| 1st June 2006 Me llamo Anabella! | =) - From: Wednesday 5/31 I barely remember any of the classroom vocab!...Lapiz y boligrafo!

| 31st May 2006 Annabelle | Hi Dear! - From: FRIDAY & SATURDAY I loved reading about your funny experiences! You literally had me laughing out loud!I'm really not surprised you packed so much lighter than everyone else! And Rosalie, what do you expect me to do with packing for TWO trips w/o you?!? Honestly, I'm lost! Haha But I've just been hangin out and getting ready for tour. It will be weird w/o you and they put me on Raymon's Gang as my job! That will be interesting considering half the stuff will probably be mine!!Anyways, you are missed and loved dearly! ~Adios!=) |
