Grant, your pictures are gorgeous. I talked with Vicky awhile ago and we both agree that your writing has taken on a life of its own. Wish I could be there to see it all with you. Send us another postcard from the next fabulous place you go--hope you're still having the time of your life. Katie Grasham
Finally I read all your entries at once and I can't describe how I feel reading your words. But I love seeing and reading about all of your adventures. I just wish I could step over for a few days and get a little bit of what you're experiencing!!! miss you... angi

I think I might throw up I just knew you were probably missing me and my famous phrase....so I thought I might throw you a bone! Everything seems to be so breathtaking...you fit in just perfect,huh? I miss you. Your in my prayers. Love you.
Funny I can't stop laughing at the ATM picture-joke. It's always interesting to see what outsiders have to say about your people and land.
I am glad that you had a good experience in Albania. It makes me proud. Make sure to keep spreading the good words around. Obviously our northern neighbors keep poisoning the tourists with lies about Albania.
Cheers,
ITS

Glad to hear from you Hi Grant,
I shared a lot of your experiences with Don over dinner tonight and he was just grinning from ear to ear, laughing, and inspired by your words. So gleeful that you are having this experience.
You really are so gifted. "Some walk in the rain, and some just get wet" brought tears to my eyes and to your dad's, these are true words. And "Part of this experience is just attempting to take in the whole experience"--is a statement that sums up life rather well.
Thanks so much Grant for this travel journal, it really means a lot to many people I am certain, as it does us.
By the way another really good book written in India is "I Am That" by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. According to Deepak Chopra, it is the most lucid, practical account of absolute self-realization since Patanjali--of 4,000 years ago, and much more relevant--as it was written in the 1980s. His yoga was "Nisarga Yoga" which means "Natural Yoga," the yoga of the mind in everyday life. If you are interested in finding out more about him you can google him I am sure.
We eagerly await your next entry!
Much Love from your dad and me. Erica
PS Indian food is my favorite food, because of the variety within each meal. How is it different there? You are supposed to have "six tastes" with every meal--bitter, sweet, sour, pungent, salty, and mild. . . . Something like that, a Vedic diet. How is that applied there, in restaurants? I am curious.
Wow, The pictures are pretty breath-taking! I went to Deep Fork this evening and thought of the brunch we never had! Ah, you just owe me! Just playing... Travel well, but most importantly travel safe! Much love...
grant my friend, i hoppe you enjoy a lot in your trip i just want to thank you to include my person in your travell guide...

Great pics There's nothing like a hamburger when you're that far from home. I'm really enjoying your blog. Isn't it great to have that technology? And your writing style is so vivid and readable. I'm always happy to see your blog entry pop up on my email list.
Hi Grant, I just looked over all your journal entries. This is so neat! I'm so jealous of you! All these places look amazing. You are very lucky to be able to do this. You write very well! Hope you are well, I will keep checking checking your journal for new entries.
Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country...
