| 28th March 2008 Vanessa | taps (faucets) in NZ - From: Kiwi Culture is setting in Hi, your blog is so funny, it gives me a different perspective on my own country. for your tap problem, you should have both taps running at the same time, cup your hands, fill it with cold water, then fill it a little bit with hot water, and you get lukewarm water to wash your face! wow kiwi ingenuity i know.. hahaha.. |
| 14th October 2007 Jess | Wierd... - From: Kiwi Culture is setting in About your taps, most households have combined spouts with the lever thing you twist about to get the ideal temperature of water, only old houses don't have them. I'm guessing you're probably staying in University accomodation, which is usually cheap and crappy. And also what do you mean by, "what is a mince anyway??" a mince pie is a pastry case filled with mince (minced beef) and gravy. Savoury and delicious! |

| 24th February 2007 Connie | Seal! - From: Frohes Fest! Joyeux Nöel! Merry Christmas! That seal is simply adorable!!! Also, Germany and Christmas seem meant for one another. |
| 1st February 2007 Maggie | The card was from CHARTRES! - From: To the Heights of Europe: An Alpine Ascent in Chamonix Well, I meant to say I loved the card from Chartres, (not Chamonix), but I was so enamored of the photos of Chamonix, I forgot my French! |
| 31st January 2007 Maggie Dimon | Merci beaucoup! - From: To the Heights of Europe: An Alpine Ascent in Chamonix Shelly, I loved the card you sent from Chamonix. I cut off the cover and taped it to my bedroom windowpane so that the sun shines through the stained glass window reproductions. It's beautiful. So glad you and Phil enjoyed Chartres (and everything else). Your web site is wonderful (Thanks to Mary Henry for telling me about it!) Meilleurs voeux--la mere de Philippe |
| 23rd January 2007 Christian | It has been a pleasure - From: Frohes Fest! Joyeux Nöel! Merry Christmas! Hi Shelly, It was good having you here for xmas and I am glad that you liked it. Well, I still have some remarks about the blog entry. Firstly, we had Gluehwein and Feuerzangenbowle. It is called Christkindlmarkt or Weihnachtsmarkt. Furthermore - and that is really important to us Germans - it the the Autobahn and we had no Sauerkraut for dinner... Never! Only the "funny" bavarians have it... Ok, I just had some for dinner too.. But there was no Sauerkraut for Xmas dinner! ;-) And last but not least the Husum Aquarium is called Multimar Wattforum and is in Toenning ;-) Despite all this it was an awesome time with you! Miss you heaps and hope to welcome you soon again! Your NZ bro Christian |

| 17th October 2006 Brenda | The Loire Valley - From: Chateau sighting and hanging with Leo Davinci! Shelly, lovin' your latest adventures. If I were there I would do exactly the same things! Keep up the pictures and notes, they are so historic and funny too! By the way, when you get ready to come home, I would love some sweet white wine from the Loire Valley. I first drank some in Paris myself when I was young, and then a French friend recommended them again a few years ago. Write me at gamboa_brenda@emc.com if you can bring back some wine. I will of course pay for it! Have a wonderful time! All my best to you, Brenda. |
| 17th October 2006 Mommie | Oh my! - From: Chateau sighting and hanging with Leo Davinci! Tours is beautiful, Shell! I see why you plan to be a repeat visitor. The Chateau is gorgeous, the cathedral, very impressive! You've actually stood at the foot of Davinci's grave, yes Mr. Hanks would be envious, I'm sure! Keep having fun, sweetie, all eyes are on you! Love to Kelly, SWAK! M |
| 17th October 2006 Mommie | Pretty little town! - From: Settling into my French hometown Looks like Chatellerault is lovely, Shell. The river's pretty, and architecture too. I love the little house. Glad the weather's been good. And you're having no problem making new friends. I'm sure adjusting to the new culture, language, etc. can be somewhat tiring, but as time passes, it'll be easier. You're resourceful, so I'm confident you'll find many new and interesting ways to fill your down time. Not only will you learn about the history and culture of France, etc, but also about yourself! We should all be so blessed! SWAK! M |
| 17th October 2006 Mommie | Ahhhh, to be in Paris again... - From: A Parisian Love Affair How do I love Paris? Let me count the ways! It is such an extraordinarily beautiful city, didn't I tell you Shell? You've retraced my steps thirty years (choke) ago, and now my excitement is rekindled! Thanks for taking such wonderful pictures of your visit...because when I was there, all I had was a ten dollar Kodak Instamatic! The pics from my visit are aging faster than I am! SWAK! M |

I really enjoyed reading all your blogs. Can't say that I have a favorite. I once lived in NZ and visited virtually every town and city. Had a great time. Are you still going to keep this same site for your European journals? You can be sure that I'll be watching for you this fall. I think you are a wonderful writer and you also take great pictures. All the best to you in the future. Another Shelly. |
