| 18th September 2009 Dr. Jack Battaglia | Interesting article - From: Resilient Bogota, Columbia The only criticism that I have is the spelling of the name of the country. The country is spelled "Colombia", not "Columbia" (as in Columbia, gem of the ocean). But that taken aside, I enjoyed your article immensely, having visited Bogota myself many years ago. I was a Spanish professor for 30 years. I am now retired and living in San Clemente, California. Cheers! JB |
| 4th September 2009 Brian | A heartfelt thank you - From: Impressive Punta del Diablo, Uruguay I'm Brian, owner of El Diablo Tranquilo. I would simply like to extend my thanks to you and all of those who have been so kind to us since this project began. During a personal down time faced with bureaucratic road blocks, a slower than hoped for low season, a break down of the truck we depend on, and all the loneliness of trading home and friends for a dream; my brother reminded me to read this post again to remind myself while it's all worth it. Blogs such as these play such a huge role in allowing us to succeed and perhaps a bigger one helping display what we are about and hopefully draw those people who will get the most enjoyment out of it. After all, that's the best part about working in the service industry, the 'business' is straight forward - you know you are doing a good job only when people are smiling, if nobody is sharing good times and stories with friends, we go under pretty quick. Thanks to all of you guys who have had fun and made it fun for us, there's no shame in that. |
| 23rd August 2009 wvDrifters | re: question - From: Overland from Cartagena to Panama City Capurgana, entry/exit Colombia stamp - Puerto Obaldia, entry/exit Panama stamp |
| 4th August 2009 alejandro | question - From: Overland from Cartagena to Panama City do you get the passport stamp when crossing from panama to colombia and viceversa? |
| 23rd July 2009 Mrs. Schneider | Amazing! - From: Overland from Cartagena to Panama City Very brave of you to take the "third option"! Have your overall plans changed any, or will you still approach the rest of the world in the order and timeframe as the "world as we see it" map on your homepage? Just checking in on you guys. I will buy the book when it comes out, by the way. Fascinating. |

| 22nd June 2009 Griffi | - From: Famous Rio de Janiero, Brasil Glad to hear you guys made it through the Favela safely.

| 6th June 2009 Iratxe | Is it true that.... - From: Gorgeous Florianopolis, Brasil ... all men and women in Florianopolis look stunning? That's what a friend said to me after he came back from a surfing trip there some time ago. His theory: Once men and women turn about 40, they get banned from the beach..... or else, they age really, really well............ |

You have not idea how much we want to watch Lost when we get the opportunity... but we must watch them chronologicaly. And yes... I have been blessed with Basque friends!! How have you been btw? Shoot me an email if you get the chance. |
| 12th April 2009 wvDrifters | Sadly, not fluent in any other languages - From: Roadtrip, San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina Mrs. Schneider!! I´ve heard wonderful things about Colorado... did you have a nice time other than flight setback? For us... we have no deadlines or important schedules... so plane cancellations are just a bit of a hiccup. :) We´ve been traveling mostly by bus (40+ is the count) and only one plane. I´m happy to hear that we are an inspiration to you... if you ever want to travel like we are... I highly recommend it. Take care! |
| 10th April 2009 Iratxe | Yet another Basque in you lives ;))) - From: 70 Mi/ 112.4Km of Patagonia´s Torres del Paine Hahaha, Chrissy, I must admit I loughed out loud when I read about Oscar (amazing how many Basques have crossed your paths in life so far) and your nightime LOST moment (btw, the smoky monster had an important role in the last episode). Amazing trekks, awesome pics, incredible experiences.... you guys are getting ready for Tibet and the Himalayas, right? But hopefully before that I'll be meeting you again somewhere in Northern Africa, Southern Spain or here in the Basque Country.... Have fun!!!!! |
| 9th April 2009 Joetta Schneider | Wow! - From: Roadtrip, San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina Just checking in on your progress! Thought about you because I went to Colorado and encountered minor setbacks missing a flight and thought, "Wow, what if I'd been in another country and my plans got messed up?" Then I thought about you guys! Are you all fluent in any other languages? You inspire me. :-) |

It's lucky for us that you have decided to visit some of the most beautiful places on earth, and take awesome pictures! Every posting is better than the last.
