| 23rd February 2007 elizabeth | Sigh - From: Paraguay deserves more love... I lived in Paraguay from 1976-80... It doesn't look as if it has changed too terribly much. Except that country road photo looks very smooth. What happened to the beautiful cobblestones on the way to ARegua? ARe they still there. San B. We used to hang out there. Lago Ypacarai... what color is the water now? It was such a peaceful place where the good things in life were celebrated. Thanks for the memories. |
| 31st January 2007 Abbey | - From: THE END I remember those ditch/waterway things! I was terrified of falling into one while walking through town staring at all sorts of things! When will you be home?!?! |

| 21st January 2007 Mark and Abbey | - From: Ode to the Flamingo just for the record when Abbey saw these pictures she said, "man, Natalie looks sexy!" |
| 20th January 2007 Mark | - From: Ode to the Flamingo You should become not just a journalist but photojournalist!! |
| 20th January 2007 Mark | - From: Salta: A Warm Hug you should send this to the Argentinetimes! |
| 18th January 2007 dad | - From: Salta: A Warm Hug Sounds like Salta is a great place to visit - we'll definitely add it to our itinerary if we ever go back to Argentina. And having free t.p. makes it even more appealing! |
| 18th January 2007 Elvira | Free advertisement for Salta - From: Salta: A Warm Hug Without realizing it, you just wrote an attractive piece for a newspaper published by the Salta’s tourist office. If I, as a potential visitor, was reading it somewhere I would start making plans to go visit Salta and its surroundings immediately. I would still do (maybe not today) - especially after hearing about it from you and seeing the pictures. Thank you for posting many pictures - you know that I can never get enough of them… |
| 18th January 2007 grandma | - From: Salta: A Warm Hug Natulya, the views are spectacular. It was very nice to learn about the hospitality of Salta. And you are so close to your "home" in BA now and your real home in CH. We love you. |
| 15th January 2007 Grifter | Don't you mean "colours"! - From: Colors You Can't Believe Lookin good girl. You back in BA now? Treat yourself to something nice in BA, it sounds like you've been roughin it too much. Kisses Jo |
| 14th January 2007 Abbey | - From: Colors You Can't Believe que hermoso!! Estoy feliz que estas pasando un buen tiempo. un beso grande |
| 14th January 2007 grandma | - From: Colors You Can't Believe It is so nice finally to look at more cheerful places. They don't look too dangerous, but anyway,come home soon. a Lots of love |
| 13th January 2007 Kelly | WOW - From: Flexibility is a Plus I guess I can't complain anymore about the 12 hour drive to Cleveland. You really have become a seasoned traveler. The blog is amazing! Sorry I am just finding it today. Keep writing :) |
| 11th January 2007 Russ & Trish | Flexible plans? - From: Flexibility is a Plus Yes, tell us about it. Plan F has led us back to Bariloche. The buses and hotels everywhere really are full in Jan and Feb!! |
| 11th January 2007 dad | overbussed? - From: Flexibility is a Plus With all the pain and problems of local bus travel, it wouldn't surprise me if most of the population in the little dusty towns you passed through are former transit bus travelers who just gave up and stayed behind rather than taking the next leg of their trip. I hope you will not join their ranks and complete your journey. |
| 11th January 2007 Elvira | Miss your car? - From: Flexibility is a Plus You have become a seasoned bus rider. Just imagine how strange (but wonderful) it would feel while driving your own car in about 3 weeks. |
| 9th January 2007 dad | Great pictures - From: Ode to the Flamingo What an incredilble place! These flamingos must be lost - all their relatives moved to Florida long time ago. Happy travels! |
| 8th January 2007 Alex | maps.google.com - From: Ode to the Flamingo Take a look at the Salt Flats on Google Maps (satellite or hybrid view). It really is a huge white blob amongst all the green and brown. Typing in Uyuni, Bolivia will get you there. |
| 8th January 2007 Alex | - From: Ode to the Flamingo seems like an incredible place -- have fun on the last leg of your trip! |
| 8th January 2007 Russ | Profound observations! - From: Ode to the Flamingo And what WAS the story with the camera? You never told! |
| 8th January 2007 Mom | you look great! - From: Ode to the Flamingo Nat, I loooove the pictures! The place looks like in some fictional world. It's worth the trouble of going that far. And you look great too! Love you. Besos, Mom. |
| 8th January 2007 Grands | impression - From: Ode to the Flamingo The nature looks unnatural! The photographs are beatiful. We love you and miss you. |

| 3rd January 2007 Dad | Next New Year - try New Jersey - From: Cosmic Bolivia - Part 2 except for no shaman blessings, no blue lake, no dancing around the fire pit and no brazilian drunks our New Year's celebration was almost as exciting. And we could even hear the soothing sounds of New Jersey Turnpike in the distance! |
| 3rd January 2007 Mom | Wish you had pictures - From: Cosmic Bolivia - Part 2 Sounds like you had an exciting New Year's Eve celebration. Thanks for transmitting the blessing of good health to us. We can use love and prosperity too, but oh well... I wish you had pictures of the lake and the island :-( Maybe someone from your group can share? |
| 2nd January 2007 Elvira | Finally! - From: Cosmic Bolivia - Part 1 Nat, it's a great way to end my workday - get notified that there is a new entry in your journal. We haven't had any this year yet... Happy New Year! |

| 2nd January 2007 amanda the great | I HATE THE BUS - From: Leaving Paraguay: Easier Said than Done and cockroaches too! maybe you should take a plane! |
| 29th December 2006 grands | - From: First Impressions of Bolivia We would love to have at least some of your experience. Afraid to ask what happened to the camera. |
| 28th December 2006 Alex | bus ride - From: Leaving Paraguay: Easier Said than Done that's quite the bus ride! hopefully the other ones don't have as many roaches or tractors blocking the road (though at least the latter makes for a great story). |
| 28th December 2006 Ronnie | wow... - From: Leaving Paraguay: Easier Said than Done Natalie, you're a real trooper. It sounds like the trip to hell. I hope it was worth it. |
| 28th December 2006 grandma | come back soon - From: Leaving Paraguay: Easier Said than Done As much as I was enjoying reading your story I also was worrying to the same extent. Please please, be careful with everything. |
| 28th December 2006 Dad | Bad Bus - From: Leaving Paraguay: Easier Said than Done What a trip! Glad this bus ride is over. May be you should consider walking the rest of the trip? But then again - we want to hear more funny (for us, not necessarily for people on the bus) stories. Can't wait for the next dispatch. Keep writing! |
| 27th December 2006 Mom | To laugh or to cry? - From: Leaving Paraguay: Easier Said than Done Well, Natalie, you are spoiling us - three stories in one day! Very diverse stories, no doubt. Only knowing that you got to your destination safely, I could read it laughing. Thanks for the great sense of humor in your portrayal of various characters and events. I am sure humor was the only thing that would help you survive such a trip. |
| 27th December 2006 Elvira | Lovely story - From: Nochebuena en Encarnacion This story is so sweet. They are very nice and generous people and I am glad that the Christmas Eve turned out to be so special for you. These are the kind of things that will stay in your memory forever. |
| 27th December 2006 Elvira | Lost Utopia - From: Jesuit Ruins at Trinidad The words “Lost Utopia” come to mind reading your story - that’s how the author of an article about Jesuit missions in South America described them (travel section of The New York Times, about a month ago). You had a great advantage of not sharing these sleepy ruins with hordes of tourists. It adds mystery and lets your imagination go wild… |
| 24th December 2006 Ina Hait | We wish you a wonderful journey. Come back safe - From: A portena no more Happy new year! |
| 23rd December 2006 rrruss | Oh Natalie - From: Paraguay deserves more love... sabes que hablas buen espaņol. casi perfecto. un beso por santa cruz cuando llegas. |
| 23rd December 2006 Padre | Show us the pictures! - From: Paraguay deserves more love... Loved your description of Paraguay and its people. Can't wait to see your pictures from the beautiful Paraguay, especially men peeing next to the No Orinar sign. Make sure to buy one of those machetes if you plan to stay there much longer. And please stay away from those cows from the Chaco (who knows where they've been). |
