| 8th July 2009 Hennie | Buda....Pest - From: Hungary ... why wait? Great blog. :) Seems like you have a lot of fun traveling. Thanks for teaching me about the two cities. No one has ever mentioned that to me. The fruit soup looks great. Do they eat that as an appetizer or by itself? Have fun and be safe. Greetings Hennie P.S. No baby yet |
| 6th July 2009 Krista | vous êtes vraiment francais! - From: Waffle Time!! Steph, did you count for those two French speakers? I'm sure you said "bonjour" and "comment allez-vous" first. Or perhaps Andy told his TPRS story or sang that silly song in French for them. :) I'm SO proud! Fun things to see, a flower market and glorious waffles...what a cool layover! |
| 3rd July 2009 Cramer | from the two students - From: Bratislava, Slovakia Looks like you two have conquered yet another city! Equally beautiful!!! |

| 1st July 2009 Linda Watson | Can I come?? - From: Venturing East... Prague I am so jealous of your travels! It sounds wonderful!! At least you don't have some the exotic dishes that Rose and Jane got to sample in China. I think I need to be the person to carry your bags.....can I just show up and be your bag lady tomorrow?? I want to enjoy the awesome food and sounds. Continue to have a safe and fantastic trip! |
| 30th June 2009 bonbon meinzer | sentimental - From: Venturing East... Prague Steph + Tony, You too make me feel warm inside. Here you are a younger generation that cares about your ancestors.

| 24th June 2009 Cramer | - From: Llegamos a Madrid ... I mean we made it! Andy-you look pretty intense with that screen on the plane...hahaha! Bull fight LOOKS AWESOME!!!! And I am guessing Fran was saying something dry and sarcastic in the picture, if he is not making a weird face.... What great chaperones! |
| 2nd August 2008 Kathy Fitz | travel pictures - From: Prost a Munich! Hi Steph and Andy I have enjoyed viewing your travel pictures. Sarah shared your blog address with me. The pictures of Germany brought back fun memories from last summer. However I did not go to the English Garten (Jane and Don did). Instead I spent most of the day in the Pinogotheks. The bike tour sounded like a great way to travel. Someday I would love to travel to Ireland. Hope the rest of your trip was Fantastic. Kathy |

| 11th July 2008 Leah Wyland | Felicidad Felicidad Felicidad Amores - From: There are no kangaroos in Austria! You both look so beautifully, wonderfully, obnoxiously IN LOVE and obviously are having such an amazing time. I can actually say that my heart feels light and happy just to see your pictures... I am sighing contentedly right now to know that true love, romance, and adventure without hesitation still exist when so many of us are wrapped up in work and life. You guys are a great example of how life is supposed to be! Brian and I are thrilled to be your future Spain travel partners... Cherish every minute together in these lugares tan bellísimos... and drink some good wine and beer for those of us limited to Leinie's Summer Shandy over here in WI! Hugs to you both! |
| 10th July 2008 Aunt Marie | Longest word you found - From: There are no kangaroos in Austria! You kids are sure having an unforgettable Honeymoon! Pics and Blogs are great. We really appreciate them. I print out what I can and bring them to Grandma Helen. She has such fun showing them off and BRAGGING about the 2 of you... I tried to find your 23 letter word on the internet dictionaries and foreign languages..The closest I can come up with is that it has to do with ancient + scholars and having to do with archaeology. This word wouldn't of been near a University or some type of school or museum would it???? Keep those pics and blogs coming...Have fun during your final week in Europe...Take care, I love you, Aunt Marie |
| 10th July 2008 anonymous | - From: There are no kangaroos in Austria! Ep- You look so friendly riding that bike...HAHAHA! gosh I love you |
| 8th July 2008 Brock | Ahhhh - From: Switzerland or Andy's Homeland! Switzerland. I am glad you guys included Interlakken in your agenda. Your pictures recall it to me very well - as does the description about the air and the blue water (I always thought of it as "ice blue" - something about it looked cold and refreshing). A thought: while in rome, I felt sick the whole time. NOw I see you writing that you can drink the water in Swiss country... does that mean the water in rome is off? Seeing as I was drinking from tghe water fountains all the time, it could be the cause of my ailments. I maybe it was my swig from the Trevi... |
| 1st July 2008 bonnie meinzer | Honeymoon - From: Volcan Poas y La Paz I would want this for everyone. You both deserve it and are taking full advantage!! |
| 30th June 2008 Erik | I'm screamin' - From: Ciao di Pompei for that ice cream. Why don't you guys move to Mpls, and we'll ditch our teaching jobs and open a gelatto shop. We should be able to eat quite a bit before going broke... |
| 30th June 2008 Erik | Redemption - From: Buon giorno a Italia! I had all my Macchu Pichu pictures stolen (13 years ago)...I guess I should follow the model and go back there. The Nuevo Sol is a little cheaper than the Euro, so you guys should come along :-) 102 degrees sounds awful, but you look happy! |
| 29th June 2008 Joe & Tori | A bit late - From: Ciao di Pompei Hey, Joe and Tori here taking a break from our busy country fest activities. So far it has been lots of fun (ran into Jordan and Sarah) the best part was getting GYROS. As always it looks like you guys are having a total blast and I must say, I'm a bit intrigued by this Gelati stuff you speak of. |
| 29th June 2008 Jenny | You Are Killing Me!!!! - From: Ciao di Pompei OK...I have been following your trip from the very beginning and all I have to say is HOLY COW AM I JEALOUS!!! I am also so happy for you two that you are able to go on such an awesome trip together. Have lots of fun and keep the pictures coming. They are so fun to look at! |

| 29th June 2008 Eva | Viva Italia! - From: Ciao di Pompei Hahah, yes they have a dress code, it is a church. I hope you enjoyed The Vatican it is an amazing place and there is simly too much in the museum to see in one day. I'll never forget the feeling in the Sistine Chapel, I couldn't breathe it was too amazing, divine, ...breathtaking! |

| 29th June 2008 jess cat | blanco y gatto - From: Ciao di Pompei Hey Beckstroms!! Sure looks like you guys are having fun on your love trip. I'm a little confused though. You talk about Italy in your posting, but all these pictures (I believe) were taken in Bangor. And, then you mentioned something about four-wheeling. Are you guys really dividing your time between Hatfield and Bangor? :) Can't wait to see you guys ... oh ... by the way, I looked at your wedding pix for the first time last night. I got excited for your wedding all over again!!!! You guys are so sweeeeet together. :):):) miss you! jcat, ddogg, blanco y gatto |

I also thought you may be interested to know, that I now get a text message every time you update your blog (no joke) so i know within a few minutes of an update. As for the Campaign news, John McCain has clinched the Republican seat, and is expected to sweep in November. |
