See you there!
Well, your post was like the last satisfying sip of morning coffee. I sure have been missing your daily adventures. I was delighted to see a Los Smith email alert pop up.
From the photos, I could see that Suriname was really steaming hot. The wooden cathedral is amazing, they accomplished such complex architecture with wood. Astrid and her family look like great people. The Roti!!! Oh my god - they were gigantic. Yummmmm!
It's really heart-warming to see all the people that you connected with along the way. Thanks for sharing with us. It was great to see you guys in Gimli, exhausted though you were. Take care, have a great summer.
Welcome Back!!! Wow, I can't believe the adventure is over so soon. Thanks for letting me share in this via blog. My compliments to the bloggers - very entertaining read and great pictures. Cheers. Maria
Finally I've been waiting to hear about the famous Galapagos after our lunch conversations Pauline!!!! And you're there!!!!! What a beautiful place!!!! And love the SuperHero pose Abbey, great idea!
Look forward to more.....

Thanks again for letting us all travel with you through pics and words!!!! Harold you really have an amazing talent for the written word.
Back Soon It all sounds so exotic...butterfly farm...are you kidding me.
We are looking forward to having you guys back in our hemisphere. Just looked at the calendar and was pleasantly surprised that the grand Krentz / Smith Red Wine and Sushi Summit is not that far away. I know this is the first you have heard of that event (I just planned it right now) but I will expect your attendance and exhuberant participation.
Soak up the sun and enjoy the last bit of the trip.

p.s. I loved the line "the connection speed could charitably be described as glacial" I did a day of cutting wood and that rolled through my head over and over.
Happy Easter Marla, Dan and the boys and I have returned from visiting the tulip fields in La Connor/Skagit Valley in Washington state...acres of blooming tulips in all gorgeous shades as well as fields of daffodils...undescribsble as to the beauty..the Easter bunny managed to find us so the boys were happy..back to cool cloudy weather after a few sunny days. Lynn has arrived in Gatwick for the Royal wedding. Have fun and enjoy the remainder or your excursion .
Please say hello to Astrid for me. I certainly remember her being cold alllllll the time and wearing all her clothes she had with her and then some. Don't think I ever saw her without her hat on.
Hi Astrid
Good Friday Dawna and I were out for brunch at Stella's on Grant and had a pleasant surprise when we ran into [ not literally ] Marje and Pat. We were effusing about how great your blog was, so they,ll be checking in to read about all your adventtures. L was so glad to hear that the Easter Bunny also went to Suriname. Have a good visit with Astrid. I look forward to your next blog.Much love.
Happy Easter Hi guys. Looks like you're still having lots of fun. Just thought I'd pop in and wish you all a Happy Easter. We had another dump of snow the other night the way things are going I expect we will get some for Canada Day. Take care and have lots of fun and looking forward to talking to you when you get back. Love you all.
Hola amigos Regresso a la caraterra de información. Splurged on a new mac for mi cumpleaños. So, I am catching up with you. You've had me travelling all over the place, all in one day. So, are you NOT going to learn Caribbean Dutch? I'm with you, after committing time to Espanol, I feel I can never travel to any place where I can't inflict my mal lingua on la gente. Your blog has been such a gift. You are such great writers! I feel like I'm with you all the way.
The only place that I'm not jealous about is the humid heat in Surinam. Blah! I haven't been a tropical bird for a long time. Salud. lg
hmm Not sure if the blurb I was writing got lost or sent. I'll try to remember what I just wrote and finish it tomorrow. New computer keyboard, wobbly hands.
Puno Hi there. The company which we ended up using in Peru was 'Metropolitan'. The contact in Puno was a guy named David, and he was fine.
Have a good trip.
You are soo good at describing your adventures that when you return you should write a book about your travels. And Oh almost forgot, almost no spelling errors.
Keep the interesting blogs coming.
We are going to see you soon back in Canada. I'll bet your getting homesick.
Hello Can't say I've kept up with your blog lately, but your latest jungle adventure sounds like fun, despite only a few details. On a school note Pauline - if we order you library tables do you want round or rectangle? There is extra money at the SBO and they are offering to purchase some furniture so I thought I better check first. Thanks for getting back to me. If you don't get back to me you get round tables like the ones at RDPC. LOL Later, ET.
Wow! Hello! Abbey, Its great to see all the amazing things you get to see! even the driest dessert! I saw your video it looks really windy in Chile. Abbey me and the class really miss you!
from, Claire
seriously?! Seriously? Tuna growing on cactus?! This stuff does not look too yummy! And good for you, Abbey! Swindling 3$ out of your mom and dad! Sky loves bets and dares! :)
