| 16th December 2009 GEORGIA DOSCAS 12/15/09 | Spectacular photos and comments - From: Exploring Constantinople I STUDIED ABOUT THE BYzANTINE EMPIRE AND CONSTANTINOPLE. I WAS FORTUNATE TO VISIT THE CITY IN 1968. SAINT SOPHIA WAS MAGNIFICENT. I AM GLAD THAT IT HAS BECOME A MUSEUM AND THAT MORE WORK TO RESTORE ITS SPLENDOR CONTINUES. IT WILL BRING ALOT OF TOURISM AND MONEY TO THE CITY ONCE IT IS COMPLETELY RESTORED. RESPECT FOR DIVERSITY, HISTORY, ART, ARCHITECTURE AND RELIGIONS BRINGS STRENGTH TO THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE AND PEACEFUL COEXISTANCE. THANK YOU |

| 26th July 2009 travelbuffs | don't go, just yet - From: Living It Up 1920's Style! You going back "home" came as a kind of shock to me. I was like "aaah". But I am glad I peeked into your profile that updated me on your sailings. So, it is not a break to travelling & blogging, I hope. It's been like we've have been traveling with you to Greece & Turkey & the Amazon. Thanks for the journey! travelbuffs |

| 6th March 2009 explorer_keith | Finding a Room - From: The First of Seven Wonders I never had a hard time finding a room in Turkey. I never had a reservation in any of the towns I visited. Capadocia and Istanbul were the only places that I possibly needed a reservation, but I managed there as well. Have fun, Turkey is an amazing place. -Keith |
| 5th March 2009 Hakan Karaagac | Visiting Selcuk - From: The First of Seven Wonders Wow, thats a great account of Selcuk, I'm thinking of going to Turkey in the summer but I've never been by myself. Would you recommend finding a room once I arrive or booking in advance? Hakan |
| 1st March 2009 travelbuffs | - From: The First of Seven Wonders I am up-to-date with your blogs, but probably the 1st time to comment. The pics are all amazing- they make any person want to visit these places. Keep traveling! More importantly, keep blogging. |
| 1st March 2009 Kate | April - From: To the Cotton Castle Where are you headed in April Keith? |
| 1st March 2009 Kate | Great Photos - From: Across the Desert to the Mausoleum of a Commagene King The setting sun made for some great photos Keith! |
| 1st March 2009 Kate | Wow... - From: The End of a Multi-Continent Quest! Now that I think about it, the trip to the British Museum for you would not have been just an ordinary trip to a stuffy old bunch of dark rooms. Given your extensive travel experience, I can only imagine that getting in amongst it, with your knowledge of history, would have been a mighty experience - i actually wouldnt have minded doing it alongside you. Your knowledge and eye for detail really is superb. K x |
| 20th February 2009 Moses | Really great pics! - From: Aphrodite's City Your pictures really capture the moment of the time. I especially like the pictures of the auditorium. They really inspire the mood for vacation. |
| 13th February 2009 Mohammad Zohaib Khan | Traveling - From: Aphrodite's City Your blog is very nice & informative. I always appreciate your work. The snaps are very nice. Thanks to the sharing. Mohammad Zohaib Khan from Atlanta |
| 13th February 2009 Emma | - From: Aphrodite's City Hello, when looking at your pictures it instantly makes me want to go and visit these acient ruins. your blog was very interesting too! |
| 13th February 2009 The Travel Camel | Ah - the memories! - From: Aphrodite's City I was in Aphrodisias in 1992 and as rennovation was just commencing, there were no other tourists, and the only sign of life was a large snake that slithered between my feet! Apart from the stadium, everything looks so much cleaner and restored - there is even a museum now. This brings back many memories (including the not-so-welcome Turkish bus journeys) so thanks for this entry - and especially the photos! |
| 11th February 2009 Mohammad Zohaib Khan | Traveling - From: To the Cotton Castle Glad to see a new Blog. It is well written, very briefly define any thing. I always appreciate your work. keep going on. Mohammad Zohaib Khan from Atlanta |
| 9th February 2009 liliram | How timely! - From: To the Cotton Castle Came across your blog and found it a most interesting read. Am set to go to Turkey next month and Pamukkale tops my list. If you have rummaged more journals , no matter how "old" they are, just keep posting them! Am enjoying your blogs. |
| 7th February 2009 explorer_keith | Being Behind on Blogs - From: To the Cotton Castle I am trying hard to get my blogs up to date, but it is difficult. I will be traveling again in April, so I think I will try to do the new blogs as they happen and get caught up with the old ones as I can. Thanks for the complements, it was a great place. -Keith |
| 7th February 2009 AnnaAdventuring | - From: To the Cotton Castle Nice to see a new blog from you! I think your blogs are even more out of date than mine! It makes for fascinating reading. What a wonderful place to have visited. Lovely photos too. I look forward to your next update! :) |
| 2nd January 2009 explorer_keith | Camera - From: Over a Sunken City For all of the pictures in Turkey I used a Nikon D80, but I have used two other point and shoots for some of the earlier blog photos. |
| 2nd January 2009 AnnaAdventuring | - From: Over a Sunken City Lovely photos as always. I love your panoramic shot at the top! Really beautiful. If you don't mind my asking, what camera do you use? |
| 4th December 2008 adrienne | great story! - From: Into The Mirador Basin what a great find! a great read and wonderful pics. i really love the fungus ball. |
| 15th November 2008 Kresta | I loved this blog entry! - From: Exploring Constantinople Hi! I came across your blog and I just want to say that this entry inspired me to see this place someday soon. I am quite an amateur in traveling, and your blogis indeed very informative. Wishing you more great travels :) |
| 6th November 2008 explorer_keith | Working in Antarctica - From: A Journey Back In Time When I was working down there I got there by flying from New Zealand down to 'The Ice' on a big Air Force Reserve plane, which landed on an ice runway. I was there for nine months through the long, dark winter and my job was field engineer for a construction project. It was a lot of fun. Let me know if you have any other questions. |
| 3rd November 2008 kari | - From: A Journey Back In Time Hey there- I went to Antarctica a fews years back and fell in love with it. I have always thought of going to work and live there for a bit. I was wondering if you could answer a few questions to get em started. How did you get there? How long were you there and what was your job? |
| 31st October 2008 explorer_keith | The Europa - From: A Journey Back In Time The Europa started her life as the light ship Senator Brock back in 1911 on the river Elbe in Germany. |
| 31st October 2008 Byrklei | wow! - From: A Journey Back In Time I have an account here as well and I saw your picture on the top of the page and I was stuned! I just have a question- how old was that boat that you were on there?! Looks fantastic! |
| 18th October 2008 Estelle | WOW - From: A Journey Back In Time amazing trip! inspiring. travel safe. |
| 6th September 2008 around_the_world | - From: Exploring Constantinople Beautiful travel blog...and a great trip back to Constantinople time! Thank you for sharing it! and as usual...amazing pictures! Really love the one you took of "The Grand Doorway", well done! ps: dont worry French people ALL keep calling Beijing Peking (guess no one told them...hahaha) |
| 2nd September 2008 explorer_keith | Istanbul vs. Constantinople - From: Exploring Constantinople I do use the name Istanbul when I talk about the city, but, on the particular day I was writing about, most of what I visited was once part of Constantinople as well - It is possible to visit and explore the ruins of Constantine's city while spending time in the modern city of Istanbul. I am one of the few people that prefers Peking over Beijing - Perhaps I am just old fashion. |
| 2nd September 2008 Sallycigim | - From: Exploring Constantinople Very nice, erudite blog! It hasn't been Constantinople for over 500 years, though-- People don't say Peking anymore, how about giving Istanbul its proper moniker? Glad you loved it. |
| 26th August 2008 DeVonne Whitehead | Very Impressive!! - From: Exploring Constantinople I have been to Istanbul and I missed out on the beauty you shared here. These are absolutely beautiful pictures, and show the intensity of the Muslim religion. Thank you for the sharing. DeVonne |
| 8th August 2008 Raf Jah | Superb descripription - From: To the Magnificent Land of the Turks I love the fact that you are proud of your Americanness. Well done! More well done for being able to write so well. As you plane descended I knew exactly where you were. I've flown/bussed and trained into and outof Istanbul so many times that i could almost guess the runway you used. You've also really got a grip on the nation. Every backpacker should take that metro into town. Go east- see the rest. You'll be so surprised. Cheers raf |
| 7th August 2008 Odonnell | Thank You For Your Blogs - From: To the Magnificent Land of the Turks Howdy Keith Martin. You don't know me but, I came across your travelblog a few years past by accident. I was surfing internet while being click happy. I completely enjoy your blog. I'll never be able to travel to the destinations you've been to and I'm glad that you are able to. I truly get the feel of the land from seeing your photos and reading what you have to say in your own words. Your photos are magnificant but, you word your blog like an average guy with no pretentious words or paragraphs. I get a better understanding from what you've written than reading any National Geographic magazine, which is mostly advertisements now. You write as if you're speaking comfortably to a family member or friend. Anywho. I've been reading your travelblog for a few years now and I just wanted to thank you for taking the time, effort and nerve in sharing your travel adventures with the online community. May good luck and safety follow you in your future endeavours. D Odonnell |
| 21st June 2008 Amber | Bury St. Edmunds - From: The End of a Multi-Continent Quest! Hey Keith, You were right in my back yard. Bury St. Edmunds I know very well, did you make it to New Market or Cambridge? Those are all villages that I grew up around. Every Saturday we would go to Bury to get our fruit and veggies. Seeing the pictures made me miss home. Did you see the smallest pub in the world? It is in Bury. |
| 3rd June 2008 cato brekke | Well done, Keith! - From: The End of a Multi-Continent Quest! Nice blog, but when do we see you in Norway ? |
| 2nd June 2008 Jabe | Congratulations ... - From: The End of a Multi-Continent Quest! ... on hitting the 7, though I would guess that the vast majority of people in that club i) didn't see Europe last, and ii) didn't spend more than 2 weeks in Antarctica. Good effort! |
| 2nd June 2008 denidax | egg - From: The End of a Multi-Continent Quest! Hey!!! I've been reading your blog for a while and I love it because you go to many places I don't even think of as a possibility... I always thought the round building looked like an egg too, but they call it "The Gherkin"...and I guess if you let your imagination flow a little it looks more like a gherkin than an egg...but it's up to everyone to choose what they want it to look like... Keep exploring!!! Deni |
| 3rd May 2008 explorer_keith | A Return to the Mayan Jungle - From: Fun With Lava My time in the Peten area was definately rushed, so I will be heading back down in the next few years to see more. I think my next trip in the region will include a river journey down the Passion and Usumacinta as far as Piedras Negras. The camera I used for that trip was a point and shoot Cannon (Power Shot A620) that had a few manual settings. |
| 3rd May 2008 erik | Tikal - From: Fun With Lava Do you know that the access to temple IV has now been rebuilt with a humongous zig zag wooden staircase over on the south side? I was there (again) April '08 I love the Mayan world and have been to Tikal a few times. You should look forward to Uaxactún and many other sites in the area. I'm told there is over a thousand registered ones, and I have only visited some 30 of them and loved every minute. Tikal, El Mirador and Nakum are my favourites. Thanks for your great photos (what camera?) and writings. Cheers Erik |
| 29th April 2008 kate | wonderful as always - From: Into the Wilds of Africa following you each step of the way. k x |
| 27th April 2008 Saurav | Lovely Post! - From: Into the Wilds of Africa Hi Kieth, For a person sitting in India, this article of yours and the wonderful photographs almost took me there...thank you... cheers Saurav www.terraunspottin.blogspot.com |
| 2nd April 2008 explorer_keith | Tom Crean - From: Across the Vast Southern Ocean To me, Tom Crean is one of the greatest of the explorers from the 'Heroic Age' of Antarctic exploration, yet his is a little known name. I was unaware of the modern Tom Crean - Perhapse the name in itself leads to greatness. Could they be related? Feel free to send the link. |
| 2nd April 2008 RandLJacobson | Re: Tom Crean redux - From: Across the Vast Southern Ocean Read the text. Saw the reference. I got it. If you don't mind I would like to send a link to this picture to the Milwaukee sports press. |
| 2nd April 2008 RandLJacobson | Re: Tom Crean Library - From: Across the Vast Southern Ocean First of all--I just happened across your blog and I think it is extraordinary, especially this and other entries from the Southern Hemisphere. What a great opportunity you've had, and what great use you have made of it! I had to comment on the picture of the engraved stone at the Tom Crean library, because this very morning it was announced that Tom Crean, the basketball coach for Marquette University here in Milwaukee, is leaving to take the head coach position at Indiana. Tom Crean has been a major figure here, even though I suspect no one was aware of his illustrious namesake. And I just wondered--did you include this picture because you are a Marquette alumnus, or fan? Or is this Tom Crean of independent significance to you? (Since this is a spur-of-the-moment comment, it is written before I have read the entire text, and I will do so once I am done writing. If the answer is already contained therein, you needn't respond.) |
| 31st March 2008 around_the_world | - From: Feeding Crocodiles Great blog! Love the part about the crocodiles...that must have been truly something! hahaha |
| 12th March 2008 Chuck | Thank you for sharing. - From: Across the Vast Southern Ocean A thoroughly enjoyable article. |

| 26th February 2008 Kate in Africa | - From: To the Skeleton Coast I love your pictures of the children. It makes me miss the shouts of "Toubab! Photo!" |

| 5th December 2007 explorer_keith | Thank you for the information! - From: On Safari in Kruger I wrote the picture descriptions a long time ago when I was in a hurry. I intended to confirm the names before I published it, but, as you can see, I forgot to. |
| 5th December 2007 lamlee | names - From: On Safari in Kruger Your turtle is a tortoise. Turtles live in the sea. The duiker is a steenbok. Duikers run completely away when you see them. Steenbok run a bit away and then stop and look at you. Bustered is spelt Bustard. In case you are intereseted, your one bird is a Burchell's Coucal and the other is a Lilac-breasted roller. |

FYI-Griffin had to write a chant poem for school and wrote one on Antarctica--using your blog and pictures as his inspiration. When you get home, he'd love you to come to his class and tell them of your many adventures. Stay Safe--Love from all. |

| 6th July 2007 Your Mother | Son - You've got the saying all wrong! - From: Swimming With Fishies Son, the old saying goes, "Any day ABOVE GROUND is a good day." You had it backwards. Carry on! |
| 23rd June 2007 Ken | WOW - From: Storm Force 9! Great pictures and blog. The wave pictures are unreal and several others especially the whale one. The storm must have been a rush and a bit scary. Sounds like you could be a sailing pro now. Hope to talk soon. Love, Ken |
| 9th June 2007 lona | wow - From: Across the Vast Southern Ocean my favorite so far circumsolar halo |
| 7th June 2007 explorer_keith | Wow, Son, What a beautiful place. - From: Across the Vast Southern Ocean How will you ever come back to reality when you have seen such wonders! Ah, but I know you will eventually - because you don't want us to sell your stuff on E-Bay. Blessing son! Carry on. Love, Mom P. S. And South Georgia, as in "right above Florida" does pale in comparison. Currently there are many wildfires in South Georgia and a serious draught. It is more like the other place than the heavenly island you were visiting. |
| 5th June 2007 digital_explorer | Swimming Pool - From: There Goes the Sun! Wow how did you manage to swim there? You reminded me of the traditional cold swim where people have to jump in a freezing hole! |
| 5th June 2007 digital_explorer | Freezing! - From: Happy Stormy Midwinter I cant imagine how you protect your camera from cold and your images do not have any blurry/cloudy part caused by moist due to extreme cold. |
| 5th June 2007 digital_explorer | Colourful sky - From: Beautiful Clouds of Pollution Stunning images of the sky! Looking at these photos seem worth going! |
| 5th June 2007 digital_explorer | Ice Station - From: Farewell Antarctica You reminded me of the book written by an Australian author! |
| 5th June 2007 digital_explorer | Leaning structure - From: Glaciers Again? Quite peculiar structure! |
| 5th June 2007 digital_explorer | Opera house - From: Lunch In Sydney Stunning images! |

We are some of the family you have in Norway. At the moment Sally, her husband, son and daughter in law are visiting us! Take care Keith! BR Runar |

| 10th May 2007 Sumedh | - From: A Journey Back In Time Hi Keith, Greetings from India! It's great to see you are back to writing your journal again. Fantastic pictures as always - especially loved the reflections on Paradise Harbour. I almost feel like I'm travelling with you through those weird landscapes. Keep writing... you're an inspiration :)) |
| 30th April 2007 Uncle Hud | Atlanta Immigration - From: The Journey Home I live in metro ATL, so I often go through our stellar customs, immigration, and homeland security checks at Hartsfield-Jackson. Many are indeed officious and rude, but what bothers me most is their attitude that you must prove your right to re-enter. International travel has lost all its glamour. |
| 25th April 2007 Brenda Davidson | Co-worker of your Mother - From: A Journey Back In Time Keith, we here at work have all followed your journey and prayed for your safe return. We have enjoyed seeing parts of the world with you through your eyes. What a wonderful experience and you are truly blessed to have been able to experience. We are all envious! Stay well. |
| 24th April 2007 Laura G | - From: A Journey Back In Time Sounds like quite an adventure...Impressive pictures! |
| 23rd April 2007 Your Mother | Animal Encounters - From: A Journey Back In Time Where else in the world could you see eye to eye with a whale or be mistaken for a very large penguin by a leopard seal? Amazing pictures, son. Stay safe. |
| 23rd April 2007 The Yale Family | Hi Uncle Keith - From: A Journey Back In Time Hey Keith-this is great-love the pictures-Griffin is going to take them to school and show his class where his cool uncle is. Hope you are safe and having a great time! We are with you in spirit! :-) |
| 20th April 2007 Phil Jenkins | Thanks for sharing your experience! - From: South Along Ruta 40 Two friends and I drove Ruta 40 about 12 years ago. I would love to do it again! |
| 31st March 2007 chylena | - From: A Monument to the Heroic Age of Exploration great pictures I think like everyone of them! |
| 17th March 2007 Garcia | Canela, not canola - From: I Have Found Chocolate! The other ingredient in the chocolate mixture you mentioned (the one that "looks like bamboo") is canela - cinnamon - in it''s natural form (bark). Canola, the product of pressing rapeseed, is indeed oil, but has nothing to do with chocolate making. Happy cocoa to you! |
| 5th March 2007 Yathi | - From: South Along Ruta 40 You have quite a thing goin on dude! Keep it rollin. |
| 2nd March 2007 travelbuffs | I envy you! - From: To the Strait of Magellan and Beyond Keith, Your adventures are a pleasure to read. Keep traveling. Keep writing! |

| 23rd February 2007 Bikepacker | Great Shots! - From: South Along Ruta 40 Love the pics of the Pat Xpress. Actually, I'm into trains and didn't know about this one, Thanx. |
| 9th February 2007 Suzanne | Get a book published - From: From the Jungle to the Andes Keith: You need to get a book published. Great pictures and great writing. Then you can finance your trips!! Suzanne |
| 9th February 2007 Brother Bear | Oh yeah? - From: From the Jungle to the Andes Mountains, ruins, architecture, fine food... meh! I bet YOU don't get to sit in traffic for 2 hours each day on the way to work in a cubicle, do you? Seriously... you don't know what you are missing. Cold, grey skies, bad drivers, no discernable culture... admit it... you MISS Atlanta! Later Bro! |
| 8th February 2007 jenica | fabuloso - From: From the Jungle to the Andes excellent photos and stories. it makes me want to leave the university library here in Kelowna,BC, Canada and run away to San Ignacio or peddal to the patagonia. thanks for sharing your photos and stories! |
| 5th February 2007 Alan Scott Peters | Ya-hoo Iquazu! - From: A Nearly Perfect Paradise Yes indeed, I'm glad the best bloody blogger is back on the adventure trail! I dream about Iguazu and even just like saying it...Iguazu, Iguazu Iguaz...u see what I mean. Glad to experience it with you Keith. Best of Luck and Health and Happy Experiences along the way. P.S. Did you get a chance to see Mel Gibson's Apocalypto? Not sure what he was trying to convey, though the fantastical feathering and costuming of the king, etc painted my studies and memories with bright colors. Review: 3 stelae and Hmmm |
| 31st January 2007 Nancy | Wonderful pictures as usual - From: A Nearly Perfect Paradise I think I sent you a comment the first time I read your blog months ago. I continue to be amazed by your photography and even more by your writing. You have such a positive attitude about the places you visit and you convey your feelings with lovely words. I hope you get a chance to visit Brazil on this trip YOu say something about high charges for visas holding you back. We love Salvador in Bahia state. Forget the rest of Brazil go to Bahia! It is beautiful and historic and really BRAZIL. Not a fancy tourist trap but a real African/Portuguese city with beaches to die for and a wealth of churches with many objects worth seeing a few good museums and lots of good food. Thanks for the joy of your blog. |
| 27th January 2007 Erica | the stuck redneck - From: To the Southern Latitudes I love your family . Good job moms. |
| 21st January 2007 Kathy Leipman | The Tree of Life - From: A Nearly Perfect Paradise Your sister and I tried to find out the name of the tree and were unable to find it on the internet. Do us a favor and ask a local. We want to know. Carry on, Son. Love, Mom |
| 19th January 2007 Pheeleepa | hi - From: A Nearly Perfect Paradise Hi, I enjoyed reading about the falls -I was there in 2001 and it brought back a lot of memories:-) Beautiful photos! My camera got wet and the film was spoiled when I went on the boat (the waterpoof bag didn't work or something), so had to get copies from a friend...but of cause it wasn't the same! |
| 4th January 2007 His Mother | Well, he's off again - From: To the Southern Latitudes Watch out Argentina! He's on the way. You know, Son, at least an angry redneck would have stayed close to home and done normal trips to the beach. Gee, thanks alot, Mr. Buffet! And to think I took him to your first concert! What was I thinking! Enjoy, Son. Be safe. Love, Mom |
| 4th January 2007 Kate | Take Me With You! - From: To the Southern Latitudes I am so glad you are resuming your travels!!! I'm so jealous. I have had to reenter the rat race which was unplanned but necessary :( I wish you all the luck and of course, I'll be travelling with you in spirit! |
| 13th December 2006 explorer_keith | Botfly treatment - From: The Journey Home I was going to mention the 4th of July party entertainment (removing the botfly from my leg) in the next blog, but there it is. |
| 13th December 2006 Mom | Botfly treatment - From: The Journey Home Son, you forgot to tell them that Vicks Vapor Rub is perfect for smothering botflies and also aids in their removal. Its a miracle product. Its amazing that people who live staid, quiet lives don't want to hear about such things as botflies - especially over dinner. Go figure! Carry on bravely, Son. Oh, I saw a great bumper sticker tonight. It said, "Be a hero! Fight global warming." Good idea, huh? |
| 19th November 2006 Yathi | Well done you. - From: Farewell Antarctica Amazing stuff man. Next stop Reykjavik?? Or maybe Svarlbard! You are living our dream Keith. Some day I hope I would follow the trails you are blazing!! |
| 1st November 2006 ragsw | Mexico City - From: Mexico City! My wife and I are coming to visit Mexico City next September. Your descriptions and photos have motivated us even more. Thanks |
| 15th October 2006 Laura Nealon | Thanks - From: A Road Trip Antarctica Style Wow, what an exciting trip. We really appreciate your taking the time to write about it & to post pictures. My daughter is working on a Social Studies project about igloos and your article was entertaining and informative. The pictures were really a great way for us to see something we'll probably never get to see in person. |
| 5th October 2006 Marlon | Wonderful Experience - From: Farewell Antarctica Hey Keith, You adventures are awesome. Thanks for sharing it with us. Going to Antartica is one of my dreams. Hopefully, I'll get as lucky as you are and be able to go there someday. :) Cheers, Marlon |
| 20th September 2006 blt | good photos - From: Mexico City! typical views of the worlds's largest city. ! so much to experience see and do. no two people can describe mexico city exactly the same. good photos. |
| 16th September 2006 anonymous | You Had Me Going Son! - From: Into The Mirador Basin I was quite relieved that you weren't really in a black hole with unknown creatures approaching. I had already started packing my bags to go find the guide that trapped you in there! As far as your adventures with creapy crawly things, I'm not surprised. After all, I did used to find frogs in the pockets of your jeans! Carry on bravely, Son of Mine. Love, Mom |
| 25th August 2006 travelbuffs | gosh! - From: The Southern Lights Those southern lights are real amazing! I think you are so lucky to be there in Antartica. Hope you feel the same :-) Awaiting your recent pictures. |
| 3rd August 2006 jahanna | - From: Beautiful Clouds of Pollution your pictures are very beautiful. who would have thought that somewhere that cold could have such wonderful views |
| 31st July 2006 Nancy | Fantastic - From: Fun With Lava You have the only blog (other than my own) which I love to look at and read each time you post. I think your joy in your travels is what pulls me your way and then the wonderful pictures and excellent writing draw me into the total scene of the places you visit. Some day I hope you will sit down and write a travel book so more people can enjoy the trips you are making. It sounds as if you are winding down from this extended trip and heading home. Where will you go next? What fun will I get to have reading in the coming months, years? Thank you for loving the places you visit and helping me to feel as if I had been right there with you. njpl |
| 26th July 2006 Jeff Casey | I am there too! Keith this rocks! - From: Fun With Lava Wow! This bulletin is one of your best. The writing and photos transport me there. I can feel the heat from the lava, and the bite of the ants. I can smell the new rain on the jungle canopy and see the green canopy from atop the Temples. So cool. I hope your trip home is fun and you enjoy it. Good Luck from ole Mare Island... thanks for the quick journey.. |
| 20th July 2006 Kate | Still watching - From: Adventures and Misadventures in Honduras Still keeping an eye out on you, Keith. How travel can really change each of us! |
| 19th July 2006 LW | awesome - From: Adventures and Misadventures in Honduras Your pictures are great - thank you for sharing |
| 17th July 2006 Carolyn Taylor | wonderful stories and pictures - From: Adventures and Misadventures in Honduras I spent 2 weeks in Copan Ruinas last March ( I stayed with a family and went to school to study Spanish) and enjoyed the low key bustle of the town. One of my host sisters runs the snack bar at the ruins and she helped me get a ticket. Unfortunately, the sculpture musuem was closed for renovations. The day I visited there were very few tourists and at times I was the only one there. I revel in that just as you seem to do. I also visited Gracias just because I liked the name. I was fortunate to have one of my host sisters and her husband drive me ( I paid them well) and it was worth every penny. I was glad I went to see a town without tourists. I ,too, went on to Antigua and ws there for Semana Santa. Thanks for your great pictures. |
| 23rd June 2006 Karen | Great journal! - From: Sharks, Jaguars and the Crystal Skull of Lubaantun I enjoyed reading about your journey to Belize! It brought back memories of when I was there in 1997 (Placencia). I really love the pictures too! |
| 12th June 2006 lourdesmvr | yucatan blog - From: Ruined in the Yucatán it was an excellent blog. I felt , as i read, walking through the ancient mayans ruins with you. |
| 9th June 2006 Kate | Oooooh! - From: Ruined in the Yucatán I cant WAIT for your Belize piccies. Keep well :) k |
| 7th June 2006 Timo | Thanks - From: Ruined in the Yucatán for your great journal.Plan to go in October so this was very useful.Have a good one. Timo from Finland |
| 12th May 2006 Kathy L. | I think Nancy is correct - From: I Have Found Chocolate! Actually, I think we're all correct but - in this instance, I think it is the language barrier that got you. From the picture, it most certainly looks like cinnamon. So canela is my final choice. Mom |
| 11th May 2006 Sally Patsios | Mayans - From: La Ruta Maya Keith, I have been facinated by the Mayans ever since I did a math project on their number system in my senior year in high school. I am really envious that you have had such a wonderful trip. Just stay away from Montezuma. He is up to nothing but bad things. Take care. Love, Sally |
| 11th May 2006 Kathy Leipman | I DO SEE THE JAGUAR! RUN, SON. - From: La Ruta Maya Just kidding. Cool pictures. Are you coming home for Mother's Day? No? Well then, Quiero algo de Mexico. Love, Mom |
| 11th May 2006 Timo | Great - From: La Ruta Maya Thanks for your story.I´m going back to see more of the Maya wonders in october so your account was very helpful.Greetings from Finland. Timo |
| 8th May 2006 Steve | Memories - From: I Have Found Chocolate! Hey Man, I just seen you post on the main page, and took a look. I loved Mexico, and Mazunte was a very special place for me. I spent my 21st there, and fell in love with a girl who I traveled with and had a relationship with for almost 2 years. I have no pictures of Mazunte at all, so this brought a big smile to my face....I slept up in hte start in a hamock over looking the beach.....Ahhh....what a great place!! |
| 8th May 2006 Judith Green | Canola - From: I Have Found Chocolate! Dear Keith, I don't know how I got onto this site as I am in a computer class in Mildura, Victoria, Australia. I used to sell rape seed, which is another name for canola. The farmers planted it and it was harvested as a sunflower. It is used in a lot of margarine in Australia so I agree with your mother it is used in place of butter. After treatment it tastes OK. |
| 6th May 2006 Nancy | canela not canola - From: I Have Found Chocolate! That's your problem. I just looked on the spanish english dictionary site. Cinnamon in English is canela in Spanish. |
| 6th May 2006 Nancy | Canola and cinnamon - From: I Have Found Chocolate! I vote with cinnamon since I know it's not Canola that is used to make oil. That is a small yellow flowered plant and couldn't make a roll that looks like a stick of cinnamon. I love Mexican hot chocolate since it has a wonderful cinnamon flavor. Your blog is the only one I read. You are a superb writer and photographer. Your love of Mexico shines through all you write and makes me want to go there and I have never thought I wanted to go to Mexico. Do you speak Spanish? I remember so little of what I studied back in 1961 (can you imagine how little that is?) We are doing a blog on our stay in Prague and you might enjoy it if you have time to read with all your wonderful trips. |
| 5th May 2006 KateEighty | Hiya! - From: I Have Found Chocolate! So glad to see you are still travelling... and still in Mexico! x k |
| 4th May 2006 Tatiana | Canola - From: I Have Found Chocolate! Canola is cinnamon. |
| 4th May 2006 Kathy Leipman | Fess up Son! - From: I Have Found Chocolate! Okay, Son, be honest! You bumped your head, too, didn't you? Oh by the way, here's what I found on Canola: "It is genetically engineered rapeseed. It is derived from the mustard family and is considered a toxic and poisonous weed, which when processed, becomes rancid very quickly." That being said, it has become a popular cooking oil. I suspect they were using it for its oil - instead of butter. I think I would prefer butter. Carry on, Son. Love, Mom |
| 19th April 2006 Kathy Leipman | AND Stay off over - crowded buses! - From: In the Jungle, the not so Mighty Jungle Love Mom |
| 17th April 2006 Kathy Leipman | Voladores - Totonic People - From: In the Jungle, the not so Mighty Jungle So did they originate bunge jumping? It looks like that's what they are doing. Anyway, you need to tell us what the ceremony is all about. Be safe, Love, Mom |
| 2nd April 2006 Maggiegladyoucame | Great article - From: Guanajuato and the Monarchs of Mexico This is the first of your writing and pictures that I've looked at. I hope to get this good one day. I'll be back. May I recommend this article on my blog? It's travel but in the USA. There are a few other topics too - an occansional book mention or a recipe. I'm w.maggiegladyoucame.blogspot.com. If I don't hear from you in a couple of days I'll assume that I may refer folks to you - surely that's a good thing. Thanks, |
| 13th March 2006 Sally | Tunnels - From: The Canyon and the Colonial Heartland Keith, Your blog was wonderful. I found some of the pictures facinating, especially the one of the tunnel coming out of the rock precipice. I also enjoyed your tale of El Blanco on one of your other ones. I think you are doing something very exciting and enriching. Have fun, but stay safe! Love. as always. |
| 12th March 2006 Unpaidbill | Love Mexico too - From: The Canyon and the Colonial Heartland Agree with yor impressions of the scary railway. The road down to Batopilas is even better, if you get the chance. Also, Mazetlan and Zacatecas my 2 favouritest paces in Mexico. I'm further south now but on the way back. www.travelblg.org/bloggers/unpaidbill |
| 11th March 2006 Nancy Lively | Thank you so much - From: The Canyon and the Colonial Heartland We are bloggers too and were on our way to add something to our blog about Prague. We stopped and read your entry about the Copper Canyon (a place we hope to visit some day). You write beautifully! Your pictures are quite amazing too. I really enjoyed your whole entry and think I will try to follow your adventures. Thanks for a REALLY pleasant 'read'. |
| 2nd March 2006 Dominique | Met? - From: McMurdo Station Hi Keith, I might have met you while at McMurdo. I was there from Win Fly to part of Main Body and worked with a marine biology dive group. Where are you from? Wanted to let you know I read a page of your jounal. Nice Job. |
| 28th February 2006 Liz | Vine snake - From: Into the Copper Canyon Hey Keith, I’m glad you are having fun. The snake you fond is a vine snake and they are mildly venomous. So it was probably a good idea not to handle it. Take Care, Liz |
| 27th February 2006 KenL | Pancho Villas - From: Into the Copper Canyon Great blog. Cool that you spoke to the Prez. Pancho's house looks like a place YOU could reside. Sounds like the horse was over the top and scary but when you look back it will seem like a great adventure. Appears you are having a blast. Stay in touch and be SAFE. |
| 27th February 2006 KenL | Pancho Villa - From: Into the Copper Canyon Great blog. Cool.... you spoke to the Prez. Pancho's house loooks like something YOU could handle living in. The horse sounds like it may have been a little over the top and a little scary but when you look back it will seem a great adventure. Better brush up on your comment allez vous. Stay in touch and SAFE travel. |
| 27th February 2006 Kathy | Smart move on the snake, Son. - From: Into the Copper Canyon You should show your picture to one of the locals to see if they can identify the snake. He should have a name. I looked up snakes indigenous to the area but this snake looks small in the picture and the only thing I found that looked similar was a type of Boa. |
| 14th February 2006 Eggs on Legs | Kepler Track - From: Fiordland Cruising I think Kepler track looks like an Ewok village. Great photos - I am very impressed with your travels - esp since we have just arrived in Christchurch from Aus - it's particularly interesting for me. We'll hopefully make it to a number of places the same as yourself. Cheers, and thanks for sharing fab trip info and great shots! Sharon. |
| 14th February 2006 Eggs on Legs | Wonderful photographs - From: Cruising the Antarctic Isles These are beautiful, I especially love the auroras and sunsets - such vibrant colours. Would love to witness them in real life. I think top these, someone would need to write a travelblog from space! Good luck with your travels! :-) |
| 13th February 2006 Kate | I Heart Sydney - From: Lunch In Sydney So glad to hear that you enjoyed the day in Sydney. I did my best to fit in what I could in the space of two hours. Your photos turned out well too! Hope you're keeping well, K |
| 10th January 2006 aoy | - From: Fiordland Cruising Pictures are so nice!! |
| 10th January 2006 Kate | I love New Zealand! - From: Fiordland Cruising Great pics! Hope you are well!! K |
| 1st December 2005 Laura Rip | getting jealous... - From: Warm Weather - To Me At Least Whoa, I'm really looking forward to getting back to NZ now! Thanks for the updates, and keep them coming so I know what is out there for my travels! Actually things are going well here, and I don't find myself TOO anxious to get done in McMurdo. Probably next month the itch will set in. My cube is pretty lonely without anyone around, but I'm glad you're having fun! |
| 24th November 2005 Mike Bair | Number Next - From: Warm Weather - To Me At Least Best of luck in all your travels Keith. Your words and pictures have enriched many lives. Never doubt that. M~ |
| 23rd November 2005 Bob Summers | Cheers! - From: Farewell Antarctica Keith, thanks for your efforts on The Ice. Perhaps even my turn next! Keep the blogs flowing, wherever you wander next. Cheers. Bobbo. |
| 5th November 2005 grantcorp | Mmmmmmm... - From: Farewell Antarctica It must be impossible not to fall in love with the beauty of this continent. I only wonder if I will ever be able to go there. Thanks for sharing a marvellous experience! |
| 5th November 2005 joan | enjoyed - From: Farewell Antarctica Thanks for your interesting journals on your trip, so interesting /pictures,- amazing well done!! |
| 5th November 2005 Carmen | Almost, only counts in horse shoes - From: Farewell Antarctica Beautiful scenery. Enjoyed reading your journey. Does seeing the rookery count as an actual Emperor penguin sighting? They do live there, right? |
| 1st November 2005 Ellie | - From: Farewell Antarctica Great pictures and I look forward to reading your journals :) |
| 1st November 2005 Sue Casey | Civilization - From: Farewell Antarctica Hey Keith - Hope Jeff has been keeping in touch - although you know how irresponsible he is . . . :) We've enjoyed reading your blog.

| 1st November 2005 Scott Schwarzkopf | - From: Farewell Antarctica Keith, enjoyed the hell out of your adventure. Where are you going the next time? How about the wilds of Asheville, NC? Just a thought. Hoep to see you soemtime soon. |
| 1st November 2005 Sally Patsios | Way to go! - From: Farewell Antarctica Your blogs are interesting, Keith, so keep them coming. You are doing what many others, myself included, dream of doing. Go for the gusto! Love, Sally |
| 25th October 2005 PING! | Shackleton's Grave? - From: A Monument to the Heroic Age of Exploration Well Keith, Antarctica was the single greatest adventure of my life, and your friendship was an important part of that. I laughed when I saw my picture. You're a better writer than me, keep it up. I'll be following your exploits. And I haven't forgotten about South Georgia. Mike |
| 23rd October 2005 Wendy Dudley | Wow! - From: A Monument to the Heroic Age of Exploration What a great finale! As usual, very nice pics. I love the one you took of the bottom of the ocean. Just like Kate said, I feel like I was on the journey with you. I couldn't find the Heinz catsup bottle though:(....I must be blind! Best of luck to you and hope you can adjust to the warmer climate. Sincerely, Wendy from Detroit |
| 23rd October 2005 Kate | - From: A Monument to the Heroic Age of Exploration Finally.... the man behind the mask! I feel as though I am leaving Antartica with you.... thanks for the journey! See you in Sydney. k |
| 22nd October 2005 Kathy Leipman | Much Better! - From: A Monument to the Heroic Age of Exploration However, which garage are you talking about??? Be safe. Love, Mom |

| 26th September 2005 Tedd | views - From: Cruising the Antarctic Isles Nice blog.I like this. Yahoo |
| 25th September 2005 stickyrice | - From: Cruising the Antarctic Isles You are the luckiest blogger on this site. I'm so envious! |
| 24th September 2005 Kathy Leipman | The Hardhat and the Fish - From: Cruising the Antarctic Isles Bless the hardhat! As hard as your head is, I know the hat helped out!! PGFWABF! The fish is amazing. It's almost as if he was posing for the camera. Quite a cute little guy/girl. Blessings, Son. |
| 24th September 2005 corrijene | - From: Cruising the Antarctic Isles Pictures are beautiful! |
| 10th September 2005 Bernard Thomas | Deja vu all over again - From: A Fond Fairwell to Winter I am surprised--things don't seem to have changed all that much since I wintered over at McMurdo in 1976 (except I bet the internet and satellite TV make a big difference). |
| 8th September 2005 Kathy Leipman | More pictures of fingers & toes - From: A Fond Fairwell to Winter I need to make sure the frostbite hasn't gotten them! Behave yourself. Love, Mom |
| 8th September 2005 Jay, Glendale, AZ, USA | Thanks for your experiences and great pictures! - From: A Fond Fairwell to Winter Congratulations on being one of the few to spend time in Antarctica. Good overview of life there. |
| 18th August 2005 6 months off | needles anyone? - From: Beautiful Clouds of Pollution hmm...is there a need for a resident acupuncturist down there? it looks very tempting desipte the coldness! thanks for the great journal :) |
| 16th August 2005 Shelly-Vancouver Island | Beautiful - From: Beautiful Clouds of Pollution You paint a very lovely picture through your words, almost worth a visit! |
| 28th July 2005 from NH | wow - From: The Southern Lights Hi Keith, I have realy enjoyed your pictures and stories. I think its great your able to do this. stay safe. |
| 22nd July 2005 Ron | Adventure - From: The Southern Lights Great to show my kids that the world is filled with places with endless adventure and no Malls. |
| 21st July 2005 alex | blue igloo - From: The Southern Lights I love the photos with the igloo, looks so cool. Travelling and discovering places and people is what I want my life to be about. But before reading your blog, I'd never considered Antarctica. Gonna have to look into how I can go there. a silly question but I have to ask: do you have fridges or do you just have cold rooms where the temperature is kept at a certain level? |
| 19th July 2005 Linda | Wow! - From: The Southern Lights My dream has been to experience Antarctica as you did. In case I never do, at least I can live it through your excellent journal. |
| 18th July 2005 anonymous | Beautiful photo - From: The Southern Lights I can't imagine what it's like standing under a purple and green sky, but your photograph helps. Thanks--Carmen |
| 1st July 2005 Genevieve | Bunny Boots - From: Happy Stormy Midwinter So, are you gallumphing about outside in your Bunny Boots? If so how do they handle in all that snow? Or do you have your own boots, and if so what kind are they? I envy you those storms. I love playing in the snow. |
| 30th June 2005 Kathy Leipman | That's my boy! - From: Happy Stormy Midwinter I used to love storms, too. My father said I didn't have the sense to come in out of the rain! As far as jumping into frozen water, that must be the Norwegian in you! Carry on, Son! Love, Mom |
| 23rd May 2005 anonymous | Amazing again! - From: Auroras, Penguins & Seals Keith, This is so cool! I get to visit Antarctica vicariously through your Blogs. Great Pix and writing! Hope an Emperor shows up! Thanks for the views. Da Case - Jeff Casey |
| 24th April 2005 anonymous | You can't really call that a smile, Son. - From: There Goes the Sun! That is a serious look of exclamation. When you smile, your mouth is elongated - not a perfect circle as in this picture! Even though I saw you the moment you were born, I still can't figure out where you came from! Yet, we live vicariously through you! Carry on! Love, Mom - Kathy Leipman |
| 17th April 2005 anonymous | Dream Interpretation - From: I'm Dreaming of Penguins from Space! Son, when I started reading the dream, I thought, oh no! He's been in the cold too much! I was relieved to learn it was a dream. There is a link for dream interpretation. Maybe you should check it out. By the way, your brother can superimpose you standing by the sign in your shorts and Hawaiian shirt. No need to stand in the cold! - Kathy |
| 27th February 2005 anonymous | "Epic Proportions" - From: A Small Island in the South Pacific Son, If you want so badly to experience an Antarctic storm, I'm sure you will. However, I'm afraid I'll be praying for something a little less than "Epic". Have a nice day! Love, Mom - Kathy Leipman |
| 25th February 2005 anonymous | Beard... - From: A Small Island in the South Pacific Um... wow. My little brother with a beard! Not shaving can be very liberating, eh? I do hope you are having a good time. When the darkness kicks into full gear, I expect you to be watching the skies... I want "pizza" stories!!! - Dr. Bingham Neddlemictius |
| 26th January 2005 watrfrnt | Life in New Zealand - From: Greetings From New Zealand I'll look forward to your future journals. I'm very interested in New Zealand. Please post anything about everyday life there. Thanks.. |
| 20th January 2005 anonymous | Antarctica - From: The Journey Begins Don't forget to eat your vegetables, Son. Love Mom - Kathy |
