| 3rd March 2009 Traveler | Galamountain website - From: Inca Trail and Beyond Hi, Galamountain is really a good tour operator for a Galapagos holidays, an it`s web site is: www.galamountaintours.com In addition, Galapagos Islands are a small paradise in our big world. |
| 12th February 2009 Larry Leventhal | Book Program - From: Helping another Volunteerīs Project I threw in a ten spot in your name. larry |
| 31st January 2009 Sark | Too Brief - From: COS Conference As I've written on so many student papers over the years: you need to elaborate! :) Just kidding, thanks for the details - for the old married couple with two kids in central Ohio this is the closest we'll get to the incredible life you and Sue are living. Its got to be a great sense of accomplishment to have the manual done! Congratulations, what a lasting difference you'll have made on top of the personal work you've done. Looking forward to having you guys back in town, Sark & Kath |
| 16th January 2009 scienceking | Travel to Galapagos - From: Inca Trail and Beyond Our tour company to the Galapagos was Galamountain. I believe that there website is www.galamountain.com. We didnīt have the best experience with them, however, after our trip they changed the things we complained about and gave us a refund. Our trip was great for 4 of the 6 days. The two bad days were because we didnīt have a guide and the person they sent with us didnīt speak English (we paid for English-speaking guides) and admitted that he was there just to shepard us around. Other than those two days our experience was fantastic. Just an FYI, there are a bunch of tour companies that offer trips to the Galapagos and all of them seem to contract with other companies on the islands. For instance, 4 people may be going on the same trip, but all booked with different companies and each paid a different price. My wife and I are convinced that one could go to the Galapagos and arrange trips from there, thus spending a lot less. We saw a lot of ads for last minute trips at reduced prices. |
| 16th January 2009 K | Tour Companies - From: Inca Trail and Beyond Hi! Can you recommend your, or other tour companies? |
| 30th December 2008 John Jones | Galapagos adventure! - From: Kay and John visit Ecuador I was reading through your blog and wanted to comment about your travel agency you used. I noticed that their were a lot of hiccups and it caught my eye because I didn't have any problems with my travel agency. My wife and I took the Galapagos Cruise and went on the Galapagos Exlporer II. I was a little nervous at first because it is a small ship and I get seasick, but it was very stable. We had a marvelous time and our travel package included everything (flight, cruise, and food). If you or your group are planning on taking the trip again I highly recommend Wildlife Vacations, Inc. And, they don't charge a fee for credit cards! I will give you their contact info just in case: Website: www.galapagos-inc.com Email: reservations@wildlife-vacations.com Happy Traveling, John Jones |
| 30th December 2008 Quentin | Euchre Spokesman - From: Kay and John visit Ecuador I think you should become the international spokesman for the game of Euchre. I had never heard of it before reading your blogs. Hope all is well. It has been great following your PC adventures. |
| 24th November 2008 bryan | my eyes - From: In Pain "Ow, my eyes, the acid is burning my eyes, these goggles do nothing." |
| 24th November 2008 bryan | politics - From: Fiestas I was going to read your whole blog entry, but then it started getting all political and I figured since you're in the peace corps you're probably one of them liberal types. I just can't stand hearing about your bleeding heart ideas. I'll just check in on the next entry and hope you're done spilling your guts. |
| 21st November 2008 Chris | - From: Heading to Machu Picchu The makers mark seems to have wiped away whatever sickness hit me yesterday, so count on me being there to ensure the Bucks nail down the fifth in a row! I had only been married a couple months the last time OSU lost to UM. Think about that. |
| 18th November 2008 scienceking | All Good - From: Easy Bake and my Toaster Oven No, I liked trying the Easy Bake recipes - just making fun of myself. |
| 18th November 2008 Kelly | sorry for making an easy task so challenging - From: Easy Bake and my Toaster Oven We thought you'd enjoy these, sorry they were not so 'easy' to 'bake'. We'll skip that chapter in the cookbook. |
| 11th November 2008 Megs | I still have the original easy bake! - From: Easy Bake and my Toaster Oven Mom and Dad handed over the circa 1979 easy bake oven a year or so back, so if you really want to experience a real easy bake oven cake, let me know! |
| 9th November 2008 chris | - From: Fiestas dude the Iraq war isn't about oil. it's about real estate. have you seen the shit they are doing in U.A.E.? That place is the new vegas, and soon we will own all the suburbs. GOLDMINE! I like your thoughts on McCain. The biggest reason I have supported him for all these years is he was so close to the middle. Hell he almost switched parties about 3 times. In the end though, he needed the support of the staunch conservatives, in order to get the nom. That of course was his downfall. Let's see, Joe Lieberman, or Sarah Palin? Hmmmm, thats a tuffy. Years of public service, and respectabillity, and a proven record of crossing party lines, despite one's own image, and political well being. The dude who championed the most aggressive appraoch to tackling climate change in the U.S., to his own demise. vs. the hot chick, who may or may not know that Africa isn't a country. She was really hot though. You should have seen the pics of her in jeans when she voted. That kinda hot, makes up for a whole lot of stupid. It is funny though. Both being Senators from AZ. Goldwater, and McCain. both fell victim to having to appeal to the conservative far right, and it killed them in the end. |
| 9th November 2008 chris | happy Birthday - From: Fiestas happy Belated Birthday. Sorry, I feel like a turd for forgetting, but you don't have to split my wishes with anyone. Screw susan, take her share of the fitty, and get blitzed. You are old. |
| 23rd October 2008 chris | Oooooh - From: Frank is Here Diareah, and gas. No problem. It's called swimming trunks. They do have acces to a garden hose at your office right? |
| 13th September 2008 chris | Navy - From: Vacation The Ecuador navy is sweet. If I remember correctly, they finished third, in that boat race that John Candy won in the movie 'Summer Rental'. |
| 20th August 2008 Mary | tagged - From: Camps and Extranjeros Love the camp photos . . . and I just tagged you :) See the game rules on my blog. |
| 7th August 2008 stacey | - From: Iīm Back Do you have a lot of issues with teen preganancy there? stacey |
| 7th August 2008 stacey | - From: Jungle Part II and being Sick This is an amazing story jer. I really think this dog karma is working well. Keep it up and stay healthy |
| 7th August 2008 stacey | - From: One dog at a time Maybe you should make a movie about brining new kinds of allies over to the US views. I have followed along with your dog adventures and I will be curious to see how you view this overall! love s |
| 7th August 2008 stacey | - From: Things that make you chuckle Personally, I like the taco bell/burger king story myself. |
| 7th August 2008 stacey | - From: A New Beginning It is amazing that students can reflect the expectations of teachers. Obviously this has been ongoing. As I wound up my year, I felt the need to cut my losses on some things as well. I am looking forward to the new school year. I have quite a few planned action role plays line up. Love, S |
| 7th August 2008 stacey | - From: Uwijint: To the Jungle and Back Again I believe you are right about the community and the kids. I wonder what Elisa and Cole reflect about us. I enjoyed reading this pose |
| 25th June 2008 Sparky | Heh. - From: Building a Bed Yeah, I'm a fan of building my own furniture. But whenever I say to someone that I built my own bedframe they go into that "HOLY CRAP" mode, assuming I've duct-taped my mattress to the wall or something. I don't know why people spend $100 for something that could be built stronger for $50... Ah, well. Good piece. |
| 9th June 2008 Disgruntled Reds Fan | Going green - From: One dog at a time Hey Jeremy, havent heard from ya in a while, havent posted in forever. Hope everything's going well down south, i saw the new Indiana Jones movie and it had this scene with these killer aunts that eat some dude, pretty sweet, but one more thing for you to avoid. I just thought i should tell you and Susan that i've started to make Auntie's house green. Besides the old cistern water system, i've started recycling everything and taking it over to uncle al's on saturdays to deposit- paper, plastic, metal and glass. I also got a bike recently, i've been riding that everywhere to avoid $4 a gallon gas. Take Care! Jeff |
| 27th May 2008 chris | - From: The Long Awaited Blog did you school any duke kids in basketball? |
| 20th May 2008 Greg | Some things are the same the world over - From: The Long Awaited Blog Jeremy, first and most importantly: 1. Gaborone 2. John von Neumann 3. Was it the Kariba dam and the Zambezi River? I thought that was actually between Zambia and Zimbabwe. 4. Did you remember the measurement of 3.26 light years or the definition of the distance to a star with a parallax of one arc second? It is somehow refreshing to know that organizational infighting is the same the world over. I am sorry you had such a painful experience, but hopefully some good can come of it. It is good to read about your life again, and it was good talking to you last week. Take care. Don't let any catfish larvae swim into your penis. |
| 11th May 2008 Denis | I went to that school... - From: The Ambassador Hey Jeremy, I don't know you - but I volunteer taught at that Eduardo Vasconez (English) school you are talking about - so it made me smile thinking of your interactions with Mario and the rest of the teachers.. I was there pretty much the whole of 2005. I also taught at Santo Domingo in the same city. Peace. |
| 30th April 2008 Sharon LaBouef | Coffin Business - From: Things that make you chuckle Hi Jeremy, Here in Ecuador, there is a law that a person who dies must be buried within 48 hours. That is unless there is special permission given. The special permission would probably only be given if the body is going to be embalmed. Embalming is not the normal custom here and is only done in very special cases when the family members cannot arrive within the allotted time for the "normal" burial. It is the custom here also that there is a continuous vigil all 48 hours before the burial. There are no special "viewing hours". Family members and friends stay with the body of their loved one from the moment of death until the burial. Blessings to you and Sue, Sharon LaBouef |
| 24th April 2008 Greg | Promptness is relative - From: The Damn Dam Revisted Jeremy, since we share the same "genetic" need to be on time and to know where we are going, maybe we were adopted from the same parents? Then again, maybe we inherited our promptness from mom and our sense of directions from, um..., er.... grandpa? |
| 15th April 2008 chris | - From: Things that make you chuckle Have you never seen a western? No matter how big, how scary, how utterly dangerous the street fight is going to be. When all the townsfolk clear out, shutter up the windows, and hit the deck, one brave man stays behind, and goes to work, night or day. The coffin maker. If you find yourself in the street, and you're all alone, hit the deck, for a gun fight is about to go down. I'd check and see if any hardened gang leader is just out of jail, and coming to town on the noon train to get revenge on the local sherriff who locked him up. If gary Cooper happens to be the sherriff, help the brother out, as he always ends up doin it himself. |
| 11th April 2008 Efrum | Dem' coffins - From: Things that make you chuckle Mr. King, I can clearly explain to you why this service is now open for 24 hours. It all started when a transexual named Dobbs Laurie started her/his buisness as a coffinmaker. She/he had the dream that in order to provide the best possible service for her/his customers, it must be available all the time. Her/his first customer past midnight was in fact a mob of gangsters. Their Godfather "Jimmy" had a run in with a nun who was packing, and they needed a coffin pronto to get his body under in order to be like "What Jimmy?" to the popo. She/he took their measurements and custom fabricated a coffin for them from the finest cherry wood that was in stock. Pleased with her/his work, they gave him/ her five grand, even though the work and materials, as well as the time put into it only added up to eight hundered dollars. This story has probably passed to all the funeral homes this side of the Atlantic, so your local coffinmakers probably now provide this service with hopes that they too will get a cool five grand. |
| 8th April 2008 anonymous | - From: A New Beginning nice pics, you've raised the bar. Did you ask carlos dog if he knew rudi? they look eerily similar. I'll have to ask rudi if he tought any sout american cousins to steal cigarrettes. |
| 27th March 2008 Chris Thomas | nice pics - From: Uwijint: To the Jungle and Back Again Love the pics. Como Se dice en espanol, banana hammock? |
| 13th March 2008 Greg | Snow vs. Mud - From: More of everything youīve grown to love So Jeremy, were you at the landslide when I sent the text about the snow here? I think I would take the snow over waiting all night on the bus. On the other hand, robotics has given me a lot of practice sleeping at night on a bus with snoring people. The snow here was crazy, but it's mostly gone now. Except where it's piled up in parking lots. |
| 29th February 2008 anonymous | - From: Changes in Puyo Seams like last week someone down south in Ecuador was telling me to hang tough. Hey guy, suck it up. You'll get through this, you're a wonderful volunteer. |
| 22nd February 2008 Ben | Beer is a great equalizer - From: Changes in Puyo I'm glad to read about the beer consumption Jeremy. You make me very proud. Reminds me of drinking Chimay with you at Brew's! Hang in there and keep posting! |
| 22nd February 2008 Hannah | Hang in there Jer - From: Changes in Puyo I feel your stress. Like everything, this too will pass. Just like the pain from my knee surgery. Feeling pretty good so far, maybe I am just immune to pain now :) Anyway, vent on, and I def give a shit :) |
| 15th February 2008 JTGomer | Greetings! - From: Carnaval Jeremy it's good to finally get to your blog, i apologize for not posting soon enough. Hope everything's going well, just wondering where are the body painting photos of Susan? |
| 14th January 2008 chris | nun proof - From: Nun 1 Jeremy a big 0 jeremy, wear the Communism T-shirt I got ya. Religion has no place in Communist countries, only the good of the fatherland! This will cancel out her nun powers, thus leveling the field. If not the ole penis through the zipper trick is a good fallback plan, just dodge the ruler, and you're all set. |
| 5th January 2008 chris | look t the pictures - From: New Year Ushered In check out rupert murdock with the shiny pictures on his article. Do we need to send you some rubber sheets as crap insurance? Jeff swears by them. |
| 16th December 2007 Joe Bishop | Charlie Brown Christmas - From: December - Already?!? Jeremy, I'd love to see those caves, I can only imagine. Tell me the best way to send you music and we can send you some. We definitely have the Charlie Brown ensemble. Heather and I are starting to put together a Peanuts Christmas show for a Vic's open mic. Tell Susan that I'm sorry her jungle plane was broken, I can totally relate! Have a Merry Christmas. |
| 3rd December 2007 chris | crowns too - From: Chicken Feet Some dude on 'The Next Iron Chef' made a soup from Cocks crowns'. Did you guys cook that also? I've been acused of having chicken legs, does that count? |

| 17th November 2007 Efrum Imler | Oh I'm a lumberjack... - From: Temblor in Ecuador dude, i'm glad you made it through the rustling alright. |
| 17th November 2007 Edgar | supposed - From: Water Monitoring, Weddings, and Meetings You can say "se suponia que el tenia que ir" when you want to say "he was supposed to go". The verbs "suponer" and "to suppose" are actually very similar. Advice: fight for good translations!!! |
| 17th November 2007 Greg | You might want see this - From: Temblor in Ecuador Jeremy, check out this story (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/highschool/news/story?id=3111847) about a runner from the DIII girls state meet. You might not want to watch the video, however. |
| 10th November 2007 christopher | boring - From: Rafting dude, I only read 3 blogs. One has stories about devastating knee injuries, another has tales of tortured chickens, and collosul car accidents, and you're coming at us with meetings, and 2nd place finishes. step it up man, at least throw in some pirhana's or something. Oh yeah, we got a fence project goin down if you're not doing anything |
| 23rd October 2007 Caity Zahard | Hello - From: Boohoo to Chief Wahoo Hello Mr. King. My name is Caity Zahard, and I am a senior at CHS. I never got to have you as a teacher but I just wanted to tell you that I think what you are doing is awesome!
