| 4th August 2009 J.A. Keiling | "spooky shacks" - From: The Alleghenies Day 1 & 2AM: Exploring Bedford County The "spooky" shacks are fruit cellars (smetimes called "root" cellars). Used for storing fruit and also canned goods...sometimes. Using the principles of continuous earth temperature made them great for perishable storage. Also, many structures like these can be "spring houses", that is a covered building where spring water would emanate from a hillside and could be collected for use. They are always one of the two and telling them apart is as simple as looking at where they are. If you see small pools of water or dark green high grass nearby, then it is likely a spring house. Had you continued your journey out the Town Creek valley, you would have seen some very beautiful country. |

| 12th January 2009 Trina | Kelowna, BC, Canada - From: A Guide to the Best Chocolate in the World If you ever come to Kelowna, you must try the hand crafted chocolates at Annegret's in the Towne Centre Mall on Bernard Avenue. The ganaches in particular are amazing. |
| 29th November 2008 me | - From: Bucharest Day 2: Redemption & Imperialism The church you did not enter is the Russian Orthodox church. That architectural style is not specific for the Romanian orthodox churches. |
| 8th January 2008 Sue | Random cat - From: London Day 2: Tower of London The random cat is in or near to New Change. I see it on my way to work as the 521 bus goes through the one way system. It is near to St. Paul's. By the way St. Paul's has its special features. The design of the dome was worked out by Wren as he went along!! The view over the City from the top is wonderful too. The choir is one of the best in the world - worth hearing on your next visit! |
| 12th November 2007 alex | Ataturk statue - From: Bucharest Day 2: Redemption & Imperialism I was shocked to see that you had also noticed and photographed the same statue that I saw- right before my trip to Istanbul from Bucharest, no less. I wondered what it was doing there too. What a coincidence. |

One of my favourite wine sorts... If U were still in region, and are wine fans, I could recomend U some special local sorts that is impossible to find anywhere else... I njoyed Ur view of my country... Cheers! Slobodan |
| 28th October 2007 Andrew | Serb Nationalism - From: Belgrade Day 2: Dreary Day Having just returned from Serbia I can say the Serbs don't try to hide what happened in the Balkan wars. Most of them feel the same way we do - it was utter madness and they don't understand how it happened. Many Serbs in Belgrade hated Milosovic and the way his policies wrecked their country. As for having no place in a modern Europe - I'm fairly ashamed that "modern Europe" bombed one of it's own cities. The Serbs are desperate to put everything behind them and move on and to that end we must help them acheive it. Don't forget the Croats and Bosnians committed a few atrocities themselves. |
| 15th September 2007 yaromir | The Sebrenica genocide - From: Belgrade Day 2: Dreary Day The Serbs will reach peace with themselves and earn respect from the rest of the world, when they finally own up to the massacres they committed in the former Yougoslavia under nationalistic excuses that should have no place in a modern European civilized country. |
| 13th September 2007 Tama | Come home already! - From: Belgrade Day 3: Housekeeping & Backstreeting Tired of international cuisine? come on home already! Columbus misses you both terribly - and Jen Children's just isn't the same without you! Hope your journeys are safe - reading your blog has been entertaining - can't wait to hear about the trip in person. See you soon! |
| 8th September 2007 The Steiners | thank you! - From: Budapest Day 3: The Jewels Thanks you two for taking care of our babies! Although it may seem like Bailey hates you for holding her down and shoving nasty antibiotics down her throat, I'm sure, deep inside, she knows how much you care & loves you for it!!!! :) Hee, hee, hee. Remember, she has NOT been declawed. |
| 8th September 2007 The Steiners | Michigan & the Ottomans - From: Sofia Day 1: Three Weddings, a Long Nap, and a Feast We saw about Michigan when we were in Budapest and were very excited since it just reinforces how much the Big Ten sucks. For the Ottomans you see the influence but really not as much as you would think, really what has stuck around is the Byzantine influence influencing the decor and design of churches. |
| 8th September 2007 Yaromir | Ottoman Empire - From: Sofia Day 1: Three Weddings, a Long Nap, and a Feast Happy to see you are having a great time. I loved the sequence from the baths. In a way you are touring the areas under the control of the Ottoman Empire from 300 to 400 years: this is a long time. The liberal nature of their system comes through your descriptions where the influence of the Turks seem very peripheral! I was the one who delivered the antibiotics down the cat's throat. I am not sure who she hates most: Pat holding her or me dispensing the bitter liquid down her throat! One last thing you may have missed: last week, Michigan was beaten by a totally unranked Appalachian State! It was jubilation in town! Have fun! |
| 8th September 2007 The Steiners | Hi Cube Farm! - From: Budapest Day 3: The Jewels Hi Jessica & Cube Farm Girls! Sorry I haven't responded... we just got all these comments.. wierd. We are having fun & I miss you! See you in a week. Jen |

| 8th September 2007 The Steiners | We've figured it out - From: Budapest Day 2: We Saw the Beast . . . Yes, we are getting these, there are two different types of messages on here is what it is. |

| 4th September 2007 Pat | Is it cold? - From: Budapest Day 3: The Jewels Hey guys, Emmanuel has a jacket on at the restaurant. Is it cold over there? Cats are fine. Are you getting these comments? Pat |
| 4th September 2007 Pat | Cats are fine - From: Budapest Day 2: We Saw the Beast . . . Hi, The cats are just fine, except for the fact that my favorite grandcat now hates me. No need to worry, eating and no signs of being sick. Love your blog. Pat |
