I don’t even know how it’s possible, but Nate and Jessie have been gone for almost 2 years! Can you believe it? I haven’t been with them the whole time, but it’s sure been a crazy ride so far. We’re onto our last country on the list, India. I had heard so many crazy stories about India that I didn’t even know what to expect. But, part of me couldn’t WAIT to get there because I knew I would have plenty of company from fellow long tailed, furry friends. I was just about jumping up and down in my seat on the plane. I’m sure you all know how hard it can be to sit still sometimes when you’re really excited about something. I definitely had the India jitters! We first flew into a city called ... read more

Como estan chicos? That means “how are you” in Spanish! It’s been really fun getting to know a different language, even though we’ve messed up LOTS of times. One time Nate called the color blue “rice”, and Jessie even asked if a ring she was looking at was made of a banana! Good thing we’re getting better than that huh? Well, we would need all of our Spanish skills as we were headed to Bolivia, country further south than Peru and most likely colder this time of year. You have to remember, when it’s summer in the northern hemisphere (like the US, Canada, Europe and other places), it’s actually winter in the southern hemisphere (where we are now). We made our first stop at a place called Copacabana, a tiny little town we had to stay ... read more

Hi everyone! Even though I’m sad Wylie isn’t with us anymore, I’m sure excited to write my first blog! I’m the one who actually did a lot of the photo taking this time. A lot of you probably haven’t ever heard of Ecuador, but it was a really fun country to go to and even looked a lot like Colombia in most spots. Our first stop was a town called Otavalo where we went to the biggest market in all of South America. That’s pretty big if you consider how big South America is! We just HAD to get up extra early for the animal market in the morning, and boy were we glad we did. They were selling everything from puppies and kittens to cows and pigs! Jessie even had an old lady offer ... read more

Yes everyone, we’re still alive and well. It’s hard to find the time to keep up with the blog when we keep ourselves so busy all the time! I sure am glad Amelia is having fun with us now, too. Now wherever I go I’m not the only monkey around. Many of you probably haven’t heard of our next stop, Nicaragua. Well, WE didn’t know about it until Jessie and Nate told us about it either. We definitely got some funny stares from people as we were sitting on the top of the bus seats to see outside the windows. I don’t think too many monkeys go backpacking around here. Leon was our first stop and we have to say, we really like it. The highlight here was definitely going volcano boarding. We got to take ... read more

It seems like only yesterday I was sitting on Jessie’s shoulder boarding a plane to Hong Kong and excited as ever to be traveling around Asia. Our time spent there was so much fun I didn’t want it to ever end. We decided to make a stop home to see some family and replace a few things. After all, Nate and Jessie’s backpacks were being held together more by strong tape than anything else. At least now we were ready to go. The biggest difference now was that we weren’t going to have to fly so far to our first destination. In fact, the cheapest flight we could get was to Cancun in Mexico. Instead of staying where all of the expensive resorts, decided to hop on a bus and head south to a town called ... read more
