After 3 hours of reading I'm finally all caught up and the best I can come up with is "Wow!" I'm so grateful for today's technology because without it I wouldn't be able to share in this experience. Thanks so much for taking the time to doc
ument your trip so well. Not many people would take the time or do such an amazing job. Donna, you're an amazing writer and Jim a photographer. I agree with your friends when they said National Geographic should see this stuff. Let me know if you ever decide to make a book because I want a copy, or two, or three. I look forward to following your journey. Stay safe and healthy and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Sylvia

Wow! Again, thanks so much for sharing your experiences. Your writing and photos help me "be there." I feel a deepening in my soul from looking and learning. When I have a new post from you on a work morning, I use it as my morning refl
ection and meditation. Saying prayers for your safety as you travel. The two of you should write stories and/or a book when you return! You already have a lot of material from your posts and your photos.

Ditto to what everyone else said and...DEEP FIRED TARANTULAS?! And we think we're all wild and crazy for drinking the worm at the bottle of the tequila bottle. Thanks for the gift of your amazing blog. We're having a blast reading it.
