Welcome to our travel blog, where we will post photos and journals of our traveling adventures around the world. We have visited all 50 states and 105 countries, and most of those journals and pics are already archived in an old-fashioned, printed volume. I began this more-modern medium of chronicling our travels in January, 2005, but I'll also go back and add earlier trips we found particularly enjoyable. In the photo on the left, we are on a whale-watching excursion in Alaska.... full info

Good Day, We've never met, but I am a Bermudian who is studying native and endemic flora and fauna of Bermuda. I also work at the Bermud Aquarium,Museum and Zoo. I don't mean to be rude or anything but I was surfing the internet and happen to come across this link for this image that appeared on google.com of the Match-me-if-you can bush. I wanted to inform you that this species is actually not native to Bermuda. It is an introduced species (imported) and has been favored among Bermudians as a hedge plant. Lastly, you are correct it is used as a medicinal plant as well still by some of the locals. I hope that you have enjoyed you stay on the island. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask. Sincerely, Ronald Burchall
