How about your surgery ??? Hi Jeremy, Happy to hear from you again.!!! Looks like your surgery went well. YOU must get a lot of mail from the students. I had some of the same questions... what you eat... Does the PC supply clothes and equipment you may need when in the jungle.. I assume you go back to a home base each day. I just can't picture my luggage should I embark on such a commitment. Hopefuly you did have imput on your living arrangements... Oh, I do keep you in my prayers that you may be safe and receive many blessings along the way.

Cultural Background! Way to go Jeremy! This was Hilarious! Thanks for filling our minds with such real life, real culture, and real adventure! Glad to know you are still fully dressing, don't think I could eat any of that stuff myself, I like to try and I value indigenous culture and food... and drinks for that matter... but I'm not sure my stomach would or my mind could, very interesting to know about the drainage around the equator - or lack of lol - and so many thanks for addressing the ever-burning question on the cultural issues de los prostitutos. Enjoy! Sounds like you are having the experiences of a lifetime and I'm sure you and your wife will last it through - hopefully without wigging out and running into the jungle wildly though! Godspeed with the dental drama! Savor the best of everything! O yeah... and I-O! No training for me... Pero, muy Buena Suerte con esto en Ecuador! Paz! Let me know how the Spanish et al are going! Adios! :)
Howdy! Wow, it sounds like from this blog that y'all will have a heck of a time. I make around $7.50 an hour at work, so really shows how little you are making.
I hope everything is going good for both you and your wife. Here in the states we expereinced two nice days of the soon to come season, but now its around 40 and moist. Everyone I can think of misses you, and so does Truman. Actually, I got accepted into OSU's school of music, so Truman and I will deffinetly have an adventure coming this Fall!
I wish the both of you luck, and hope you learn that language well!

P.S. Don't forget about our experation date Spam delight dinner plans!
Puyo it is Greg, yes, the area around Puyo is indigenous central in Ecuador. We are very excited about the opportunity. Living in a relatively large town/city and venturing out into the rainforest to work with the indigenous cultures combines the best of both worlds.
Care package on its way Jeremy, we got the letter from you and Sue yesterday. Elisa and I are putting together a care package which will hopefully get mailed out to you tomorrow. It includes some newspapers, Reese's cups, Twix bars and a couple of books. Glad to hear that things are going well for you. Cool to hear you are going to Puyo. You'll have to tell me if the morning mists are as cool as they are said to be. Now you can get Bryan to come visit you for sure. A couple of my outdoor/adventure friends have said Puyo has some awesome biking. That part of Ecuador was one of the least penetrated by the Spanish, so I understand that it still has a large indigenous population. (At least it did when I was still in college.) But you probably know all this and more already. I did haul out one of my old history books which has some pictures of Puyo. WOW! Take care.
Wassup jeremy! Hey I was wondering if they have guiness or yuengling down yonder?
If you can guess who this is I'll send ya some.
Also I was wondering if you've enjoyed any grilled coconut grubs or guinea pig yet?
1st hint: I have a rectal scar that looks like the map of ecuador.
hola Jer! i have been following all the news on Susan's blog but just wanted to say hi to you as well. big events for OSU starting this week. GO BUCKs! Hopefully we can eventually make use of the presents we purchased in Sonoma when we make it to the final four. anyway, take care down there!
Greetings Hi Jeremy!
I love reading you and Sue's Blogs! It sounds like you two are having quite an adventure! I wanted to post a comment on Sue's website but it won't open the link. Say hello to her from Galen and I. I am glad that you are not sick anymore and I can't wait to read about where your assignment will be!
almost like being there Kings,
Thanks for doing this to keep us all updated. If I close my eyes its almost like we are there with you. Wait that doesnt work. I can't read your stories or see the pictures. Oh well its nothing like being there but its good to see you both. Take care, get healthy, then stay healthy, for some reason I knew you would get ill before Susan, I always knew she was more resilent. Go Bucks! Won first game of Big 10 tourney.
Photos hey I was wondering if I could use a picture or two of yours for a Tiger Tracks story Im doing on your expedition. Let me know by sending me an email at clarkmac0@yahoo.com thanks and hope all is well.
Making me jealous Hey Jeremy, you're making me jealous. It really sounds like you are having a great experience. It's a wonder the whole country isn't overrun by druids! On the nursery thing, I think by the time you get back we'll need to hire a full time horticulturist just to tend our basement... I think we're headed to the cabin in two weeks, hopefully we will be able to find and fix the leak. Gotta get my "substitute Jeremy" butt in gear.
Good to hear from you Yes, we are both struggling with new languages. I miss our Zoo class and 2nd period study hall. Tell everyone at CHS that I say ¨hello¨
My first comment! Hey Mr. King! how have ya been?
Im great! but u know, kinda...I miss u..
BTW,Can u guess who i am?lol
They speak Spanish there?
If so, i and u are having pretty much similar experience in the countries which languages we dont speak usually are spoken!
Ill come again!
C ya!
Hi I had a great time in your class science was never a great subject for me but you helped me do very well. There were funny times in my class with Chuck being in there lol. Well good luck in the peace corps circleville will miss you very much and so will I and many other students. Come back soon!
The tea cup gets bigger Jeremy, my friend TJ told me to tell you that you will find your Spanish "teacup" will get bigger with time. He said fluency sort of creeps up on you. One day you will suddenly realize it isn't hard to follow conversations any more.
Take care brother.
Awesome This is so Awesome for you both! Enjoy, Have a blast! Congrats! Wow, what an opportunity! You are going to learn sooo much so fast! Best of Luck!
We miss you Kizzing! Glad to hear all is well with you and adjusting to your new home :) We'll look forward to hearing about all of your new experiences! Hello to Sue!
