| 9th June 2007 Christy | so sorry - From: Why would you go to London if you don't like big cities? I'm so sorry you had such a dreadful time in the UK - that's not what it should be like! It's truly wonderful, especially when you get out of crazy London. I think you would have fallen in love with Scotland a little bit. Hope you are well. Love me |
| 18th May 2007 Diane K | - From: Croatian Coast Road Trip... Loved all your photos. Great idea with the message in a bottle - hope you hear from someone. I really like the way you write - I feel like I am there. You describe everything so well - the emotions, the history, the landscape. Take care - have fun with your Mom. |

In "Sunday Coffee" and "Hono" you both look gorgeous with the sun on you and your awesome Italian sunglasses, you two could pass for movie stars.

| 19th February 2007 Sharon | a picture - From: Midve sva šli na pot 32kms z kolesom! Hi Mel. May I send "Hono walks through the forest" to my picture file? Can you imagine going along that path in the spring? the summer? the fall? It's beautiful! I like the sepia photo of "Me and my mocs..." as well. May I copy? |
| 14th February 2007 mom | classic shot - From: Midve sva šli na pot 32kms z kolesom! I love the classic shot! Espcially the tree branches over head. It is now my background on my computer at work.

| 3rd February 2007 Sharon | as usual - From: Ljubjim Te... Hi Mel... beautiful photos, as usual. I particularly like the b&w ones - very artsy! Sorry you had such a rotten time in London. I'll strike that one off my list... it doesn't sound like my kind of town either. But Slovenia was an unknown to me and it's AMAZINGLY wonderful. You should be their official tourism exec! |
| 21st January 2007 Mom | Fun! - From: Slovenia rhymes with Party. It looks like you had (and are having) the time of your life. The pictures are great, they show the atmosphere of excitement and joy. What I really want to know is - were you not listening when we read Time for a Rhyme? Love you, love Mumsy |
| 1st January 2007 Nancy | happy 2007 - From: Vesel Bosic in Srecno Novo Leto! Yeah......you're back!!! It was so good to see your photos in Genoa, I too loved the photo of Alessandro and Claudio! Eight chairs...and no snow. Watch Al Gore's movie on global warming..."The Inconvenient Truth"!! Glad you are having fun on your break. Was SOOO nice to talk to you at the cabin. Take care and Happy New Year. Love N. |
| 13th December 2006 Mom | Finally! - From: Another Random Photo's Entry Thank you for the picture of the outside of your place. I really had no idea from your description that it was a regular house. Love the black and red. Love you, Love Mumsy. |
| 11th December 2006 Nancy | Beautiful - From: Tis the season! The city looks wonderful!! I love the lights and music and festivities of Christmas.....am so glad to see photos of your wonderful city lit for the holiday. Love you. N. |
| 6th December 2006 Sharon | wow! - From: Tis the season! You did it again. Beautiful description and wonderful pictures. I want to do a pianting of the little boy with the candle. Christmas things that I enjoy include going to Massey Hall in Toronto and joining a 3000 voice choir for Handel's Messiah. Yes, the whole audience is the choir, soloists and musicians are on stage and the conductor conducts it all. Dundurn Castle in Hamilton has a tour.... lots of events in which the important thing is who you share the experiences with. A time of light and love - that's my kind of Chistmas. May love fill your heart and light lead your way, Mel ! Love, Sharon |

Oddly enough, I'm waiting for a book by that author that I ordered from Amazon simply becuase it's illuminated and I'm a great fan of that artform. Looks like I'm going to love the writing too!What a beautiful quote to live by! You're quite a girl. Good luck with your studies. Love, Sharon |
| 10th November 2006 Sharon | Ontario cousin - From: Elise! Control the toast! Hi Mel! Your experiences are incredible! And the photos ..... you are VERY good! It's really delightful to read your blog (never been to a blog site before) and I'm very happy you are having such wonderful experiences which you will carry with you forever. I'm envious too, I must admit! I think you ended up on an amazing path (and not the Waterloo path). Sure wish I'd followed through on going to Europe when I finished high school but reading your blog is almost like being there. You describe things so well in words and photos. I'll keep reading! Love, Sharon |
| 5th November 2006 mom | Wonderful people! - From: Elise! Control the toast! It is good to hear all about you flatmates. I have heard bits and pieces from you but this puts it all together. How wonderful that you have such great people to share this experience with. Love Mumsy. |

| 10th October 2006 madmommy | I miss Sarajevo - From: ... But, we were in Bosnia... Your photos are beautiful, and remind me so poignantly of what I miss about Bosnia. It is so wonderful to see the "Ferdinand" bridge finished...when I was there in 2003 it was being renovated, so the sensation wasn't as strong. Althought I was stationed there as a US soldier, I had many opportunities to travel throughout the country. It is a beautiful place and I hope to visit again someday. |
| 29th September 2006 Nancy Hill | Wish I was there!! - From: Family Matters... Am glad you got to Rosa.....the photos make me wish I was there too. |
| 25th September 2006 Staceycakes | music to your ears? - From: A little bit softer now... That sounds like the perfect place! Music everwhere you go? I always thought the perfect world would be musical all the time. Sounds like it would be hard to wake up grumpy. |
| 24th September 2006 Nancy Hill | Black and white! - From: A little bit softer now... I just discovered last week (dah) that digital camera can do that! And here it is again. The photos are great! |

| 7th September 2006 Stefan | Slovene Service Makes Me Smile - From: Little shards of beauty... You're comment about the Slovene service made me laugh. I know exactly what you mean and I've even been in the situation were the bartender poured the wrong drink and refuse to change it. His reasoning was that "We ordered it and it was nothing he could do". It's got its charm though. I've added your blog to our diredtory of travel stories about Ljubljana at SloveniaWelcomes.com Check it out for similar stories. |
| 7th September 2006 Lindsay | - From: Home? Not really, but it will do! Hi Mel! The home away from home looks amazing! sooo huge!

Keep on partying and stay away from the polenta - I can't believe you like that stuff! Besos, Linds |
| 5th September 2006 Peter r | Nice Flat - From: Home? Not really, but it will do! Mel, I am glad you chose eastern europe. Although I do not know much about Slovenia, what I do know about Eastern europe is its people, which, as you may be aware by now, are very kind and accomadating. Have fun and drink good vodka. |
| 5th September 2006 TonyB | Decent - From: Home? Not really, but it will do! Mel, Looks clean and comfortable. It's so great to be able to read along with your adventure and the pictures are amazing. Wow The Alps! Study hard, and play hard. Mr. B |
