| 22nd October 2007 Claudia | wow - From: football, HIVe and random thoughts Geesh, it seems like you are having a routine down over there. It's definitely different than the routine you would have here thats for sure. Your pics are amazing but where are the pictures with you in them? Hopefully you can get some with you and your buds too. Be safe! |
| 15th October 2007 Sarah | Pictures! - From: football, HIVe and random thoughts Wow! the pictures are great!!! Great to actually see what you are describing. :) |

I can totally see you mading the soccer team gaining brownie points - cute you! take good care of yourself, wear gloves, spread love and your joyful soul ... LOVE: me! |
| 30th September 2007 Antonia | reading from you brightens my day - From: the mighty zambezi hello lovely one, I am glad to hear of all your crazy adventures... it sounds scary, and amazing, and freaky, and beautiful, and gross, and unbelievable all at the same time! ... my heart and love is with you - I think of you often, and fondly; look at the pics of the puppies, and that pic of you, Jeff and me at death valley (quite old, but beloved ;). News: I booked my flight on friday for syndey. I will be there for almost two weeks, incl. NYE, then off to singapore for three days, then to London and then back to Munich. costs a fortune, but I cannot wait to start the trip... you know me!! anyways, be up for more. grow, laugh, and remember we all love and miss you terribly much (no doubt!) who's gonna ride your wild horses ... LOVE: toni. |
| 4th September 2007 axume | - From: part deux wow-your working at a medical clinic in zambia? that's pretty far out. i'm wondering how you wound up getting a gig like that.... be careful in africa and always keep your wits about you when entering a river or lake for a cool dip. my sister was nearly eaten by a crocodile once while she was in Kenya. Good luck, be safe and have fun!! |
| 3rd September 2007 Dad | paveenemafam@comcast.net - From: thoughts on europe Dear Ri, I hit Enter to get to the next line and it sent the message without me writing anything. Anyway, great blog. You have learned a huge amount about getting around and human relations. Someday you will be in a position to offer someone a room and meal or ride. Will be good to pay it forward for the help you have received and pass it along. Would it be wonderful if everyone in the world could just help one another. Hope to one day get to travel around Europe just for fun and apply some of your tips. Sue, Jeremy and Eden just came over and I haven't seen them for a month so I am going to sign off for now. I'll say it again, great blog. Love you, Dad |
| 3rd September 2007 anonymous | good - From: thoughts on europe i am glad to hear you are save and happy ... continue eating 3-min eggs = they will make you grow strong (like me:) also glad to hear the med thing worked out somehow ... still have not find your package ... it's not at the toll station (i had called them again). Weike will be moving to australia in february, so just a little FYI :) |
| 22nd July 2007 Dad | Quite a feast and cultural experience - From: Wedding Eats Sounds like you made up for some protein and calories. Your stomach is probably smaller than it usually would have been. How long did the reception last, they are all night in some cultures? What relative of Marc's was married? What did you do for dress appropriate for a wedding? Glad you had a great time. Maybe I will see you watching the Tour in the Perenees. |
| 21st July 2007 Sarah | cheers! - From: the mythical ferrarri factory hey hey sorry haven't responded to any of your stuff in forever... love hearing about everything and touring vicariously through you while my own adventures are limited to driving around el paso at the moment blaaa!!! and yeah I'm sooo with you on the car thing..... would have been grumpy with you. Love you! |
| 18th July 2007 Christian | Officially Jealous - From: riding a big girl bike Your trip sounds pretty awesome, but i wasn't officically jealous until this entry. Biking in Italy=AWESOME. If theres any place in the world where really you HAVE to ride a bike, it's Italy. |
| 18th July 2007 Jean | - From: the mythical ferrarri factory Hi Kristin! Super glad to hear you're still alive :). I was thinking this morning that it's been awhile since I heard from you. It sounds like you're having an amazing experience and will update you soon with a more personal email. Keep safe- I want you to return safe and sound :)! |
| 4th July 2007 Dad | Learning your heritage - From: Herring and Olliebollen and Windmills Glad to hear you were able to enjoy the Dutch hospitality. And they could see your Dutch lineage and you have the Dutch wanderlust. Enjoying hearing about the trip. See, do and learn as much as you can. Be safe. Love |
| 2nd July 2007 Leo | Pictures??? - From: Herring and Olliebollen and Windmills I WANT TO SEE PHOTOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| 25th June 2007 sheila | food for thought - From: Herring and Olliebollen and Windmills i've been enjoying all the blogs- i don't know how you have time to write them, but i'm thankful that you do. your travels inspire me to just get out there myself. when you come back, you have to introduce me to all that dutch food you're talking about. i'm curious- i've never had oily balls (lol). i'll make some filipino food for you in exchange :) please be safe, enjoy every second, and please continue to write. |
| 24th June 2007 Mutti | Herring and Olliebollen - From: Herring and Olliebollen and Windmills Kristin - sounds like it was a perfect day!! I can just picture you and Michele finding the olliebollen stand - I'm sure it brought a lot of excitement. I'm so glad that the windmill tour worked out. Lots of great memories. Be safe, miss you, love you bunches, keeping you in my prayers. |
| 24th June 2007 Katherine | - From: Dutch Resistance Glad to hear everything is going okay! I was wondering if you were alive and well. I've really enjoyed reading your blog. Sounds like you're having a great time. Keep writing! Katherine |
| 23rd June 2007 Jean | - From: my special dance Hi Kristin! It sounds like your time there has been great. Thanks for keeping us updated. We miss you here! |
| 12th June 2007 LEo | Wow - From: Murals First off, let me tell you that I have been reading your blogs & you are so fucking brave & also lucky to be out there. It's kind of ironic because I am writing this as I am watching your brother climb in the gym. But I am stoked that you are experiencing all of this....your memories are going to be forever (or not so long if you get alzaimers). That is so fucking unbelievable about the hatred for both sides of ireland that you are experiencing. I have so little knowledge about ireland & the protestant/catholic war. I'm sure it's extremely vivid being over there and experiencing the quiet and not so quiet resentment for each side through artwork and everyday life. On a side note -is "sunday, bloody, sunday" referring to one of those bombings? Anyway, please take care of yourself & continue writing. You should post pics when you can. Much love & all of us miss you. -LEo |
| 11th June 2007 Axume | - From: Hitching and Bulls are the old growth forests anything like walking through Sequioa and did you take any pictures of the raging bull? |
| 9th June 2007 ana | we miss you!!! - From: Guinness Foam so glad to hear everything is going well so far! hopefully you don't get lost riding the buses! =P. keep the updates coming, and yea...we all miss you!!! take care!! |
| 6th June 2007 Marc | Yes - From: 24 lbs You is crazy woman! I woke up from a dream an hour ago, about you and me, including Tom from Hangar18. I wish you love and will see you on wed. Be safe strong and smart. Have fun. Congratulations on getting all that done so fast. Probably would have been easier without your fantastic distraction. 24lbs! Very nice. High five! Marc |
| 5th June 2007 Axume | Kick ass!! - From: 24 lbs What you are doing is awesome. I've always wanted to go on a backpack trip through Europe. You are my new hero-write down all the details so i can take notes for whenever I go on my adventure.... |
| 5th June 2007 Charlie | God's Speed - From: 24 lbs Dear Kristin, When you see Bono could you tell him that I liked his sermon and that there's a pastor in Southern California who thinks he has a future as a preacher. And if you could get him to tell the Edge he doesn't have to wear the stocking caps; that bald is indeed beautiful. Enjoy your trip, and enjoy the Guiness! God bless you! Charlie |
| 5th June 2007 Benoit | Good luck! - From: 24 lbs Hello Kristin. I wish you all the best for this trip. Enjoy every second of it! Travel IS life! |
