we are two incredibly good looking and wicked smart siblings (particularly the younger one - but not that much younger. less than a year in fact) that are out to see the world and have some good adventures and, if we are particularly lucky, a few bad misadventures that sound even worse when we tell people back home, but from which we escape either unscathed or with a really sexy scar. ... full info

Sticky....
over there gives rise to new meanings of sticky ey? You remind me of stories I heard 30 years ago regarding my friends doing an army stint in Vietnam. The heat and bugs were helacious, imagine fighting a war in that environment. I'd been thinking about you two this past week and wondering...pictures of y'all are great and lovin' the travels without being sticky! Thank you. Good to hear from you and know you are safe and having adventures. Stay that way and enjoy...Love you bunches. When are you due back? Hope you're all better Dorien..e Molly

did it
I guess it was me, because after writing you the direct email Iwas able to get in. Challenging travels you are having, seems like there is a lot 'budding capitalism', annoying as it is, it is a way to make cash income, which in some rural areas it might be hard to come by. But it would be nice to find some consistant and honest individuals to deal with.....so good to see the pictures and the smiles, I miss you two, keep on trekking and keep posting the blog, I love it!!

Hey, just got a visit from a couple of suits who were inquiring about what i know of you two. I swear I did not tell them everything. You should be safe for awhile, but I would not go anywhere with anyone named Leroy. Travel on!

Ca CAW
Nice entry. I just saw an episode of Survivor Man where he was dropped in the rainforest with only his knife and had to find a way out. He came upon a few bamboo, or were they bolsa, trees along a river and ended up making a raft and floating out to sea. I figured you two might be doing the same. That sucks the man is trying to keep down even on the other side of the planet. Thanks for the clarification that a machete is a large knife Oliver. Even more great pics, keep them coming. I am going to play Lizards later today in honor of you two. Ca CAW!
