looking good guys!
Hey, great photos. I am trying to follow you guys as much as possible. What an amazing trip. What's more amazing is that you guys are half way around the world, roughing it in the outdoors, sleeping in a tent, have very few amenities - yet - your hair still looks great........how do you guys do that??? Seriously, loving the photos, the blogs and the updates. Keep up the great adventures! Keep smiling. Mr. Madill
