Love the pictures! What an amazing experience you are having.
Saw Aunt Molly in NYC last week. She is recovering nicely from her hip replacement surgery. The kitchen remodel is terrific.
Have fun on your horseback riding adventure.
Love to you and Luca,
Aunt Maura
hard work Siobhan, you have been doing hard work! You must have been pretty sore and tired a good deal of the time with all the lifting, and such. Good for you to use your energy that way and help build two houses (and impressive houses at that). The pastures are great. Thank you.
It is odd to see the cowboy hat on the guy rebind the horse. Traditional garb only goes so far for the Chengis Khan festival I guess. Have you done a riding yet?
safe travels Hi Siobhan,
good luck and what an exciting adventure! Can't wait to see the photos and hear your stories. I hope you were able to connect with Diana. Give my love to luca and patrick.
love,
Aunt Kathleen
Technology is working Hi, got the phone call. All is going o.k. What a wonderful adventure you are having. Makes me want to dig out photos of Dehli from 28 years ago. Perhaps you will be able to identify things and settings long forgotten. Sending lots of love and cheering you in your lastest adventure. G
Catching Up... So glad you are having this fabulous experience! The pictures are just great...
Think of you often and wish you safe travels!
Love, Liz and Dale
What a fabulous opportunity! Thanks for including me on the blog. I will follow your travels with interest. What will you be doing? Uncle Diarmuid is in Spain teaching for a month, I am home helping with Brendan and Melinda's new baby, Maura Elizabeth, and getting organized for Annie's engagement party on June 30th in Chicago. We hope you will be able to come up for her wedding on October 27th in Portland. Take care and have fun. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Aunt Maura
Have Fun! I don't think you'll be needing as many clothes as in your Peru picture... I'm going to be on top of your blog this time (I totally forgot about it last summer). Have fun and be safe. I'm so jealous. I want to go to India for 10 weeks! But maybe in January... :)
wow! Hey traveler, I had no idea you were headed to India. Will you be in Bombay? We have good friends there I'd love to hook you up with if possilbe.
I have so wanted to talked to you and catch up. How long will you be traveling? We spent 3 weeks in northern india in Jan of 05 and will see souther india next christmas season. Are you alone or is Luca with you?
I can't wait to hear more, safe travels and lot's of love, Aunt Kathleen
Greetings from Portland What a great way to keep up on your trip. What an adventure. We will miss you at Kevin's wedding but we are happy you are having a good break before school starts.
Love from all!
hey hey siobhan-your trip sounds great! i'm loving your photos, and i can't wait to hear all about your adventures when you get home. nyc is good--jane, mike and henry are visiting, and i only have 1 1/2 weeks left, so i'm trying to get organized! thanks again for the great weekend in san fran!
Trip sounds great Hi Siobhan! Your trip sounds really great--Are you getting good first hand research done on emerging markets, inflation, forex, and commodities? (sorry, had to mention that stuff!) Your photos and comments are very interesting. Good luck and safe travels,
-Gabe
travels Hi Siobhan, It's so exciting to see your photos! I think I have to put South America at the top of my list of places to go to next. You are seeing such a variety of places and things. Wine making to hiking to cities I've never heard of! Much love to you and thanks for keeping us traveling with you! xo, Kathleen
Wish I was there... Siobhan, it sounds like you are having a great time, wish I was there instead of working, we all miss you at KFF! When I was in Argentina, our bus broke down also, I guess its a universal experience.
The pictures are really as great way to give us a glimpse of the trip! I can only imagine how long the bus ride must have felt with an extra hour or two added on for cardboard repairs!
Enjoy your travels in Coumbia with Nichole. We went to Cartagena several years ago, so I'll be interested in seeing what it looks like now!
Safe travels - Love, Liz
Hola! Hope you had a good journey to Mendoza Siobhan. Two of my cousins were born there, so I have heard lots of stories, and yes, had my share of mate too! (They served in a gourd, with a metal straw that had a filter on the end.) We enjoy your pictures and it sounds like and Nicole had a real ball together. Stay safe now...thinking of you!
Love, Liz (and Dale too!)
Go Girl Hi, I love seeing your photos and your trip so far sounds fantastic. The hail storm must have been impressive. Keep sending photos so I can travel along with you. Much love, safe trip, Kathleen and Doug
soap sticks! i discovered soap sticks in a hostel in Ecuador last year. The soap on the stick almost AMAZING. This bathroom was the only one that had soap on a stick out of three bathrooms and I would always use it....i would go and wash my hands, even if i didnt have to, just to use the soap on a stick. I think it is an AMAZING invention....Its good to know that someone else is enjoying the soap on a stick like I do! And enjoy your time here...and there is a way to rotate your photos so they are standing in the right direction. When you download them they should all be showing (before you save all of them and publish the blog) Hit the rotate button. You can either rotate it left or right.
I began this blog before I started graduate school and wrote about my time interning in India two summers ago. I have now finished graduate school and am headed on a final adventure before I begin work through Mongolia, Beijing, and Paris. I plan to keep my friends and family updated on my adventures through this site over the next two months. Please feel free to post your comments throughout my journey. I hope you enjoy the blog and I look forward to hearing from you!
