way to go.... Congratulations again on getting your master's degree. You've accomplished sooooo much (and still are). Your work is admirable and inspiring!
I think you heard that I got engaged. Did you hear I'm leaving UVM? My last day is 6/13. I'm moving to Florida (near Tampa). So the next time you're in Vermont I won't be here, but hopefully I'll see you sometime in Florida or another time when we're both back "home" to see family and friends.
Best of luck to you. Be safe, and keep in touch!
Hugs,
Christine

We all can't wait for your visit in august, miss you and love ya! we'll be thinking of you, ttys...
Congrats/My Sympathies Hi Danielle!
I always love reading your blogs. Congrats on finishing the thesis, and good luck with new jobs and all the wonderful things I'm sure you still have up your sleeve!
I am sorry to hear about your grandmother, I didnt know her but it's obvious how much she meant to you, and I dont doubt she was a truly wonderful person!
Maybe I will see you in November when you come home, so great that your fam is able to go out there and visit you!! How exciting!
Hugs XOXO

Danielle, We are sooo glad to hear you are safe and able to get back to your studies. Hope a new government will create a new and more hopeful environment for all.
Stay safe and happy.

Danielle, wondered how you were... Hey, good to hear that you are ok, and planning to return (hopefully) to finish your studies! Congrats on Fellowship! I will be visitiing with my friend who also lives in Cairo next week (married to an Egyptian ) and will be interested on her take on all of the upheaval and reforms that are to come! So great that this was a mostly peaceful revolution, and as you said, we can only pray that the weeks and months to follow will remain so, with the solid resolve of the people. Just hope that the military council now in place is REALLY temporary, and does not become power-hungry itself! Take care of yourself! If you want, send me your contact info in a couple of days, and will give to her. They would be really good people for you to know if you have a problem. Love, mee
Hi Danielle- It sounds like you're doing well in school and enjoying the area immensely! I have to tell you - my impression is that you travel and party more than you attend school and study! I'm sure that's just a matter of what's getting reported :) I do know you're enjoying life. Good for you. Be safe. Love, Joanne
September 10, 2009 Hey girl, how ya doing??? Ashley has been telling us all about her trip. She had a great time. So glad you are getting into the swing of things. Stay safe!!
Hi Danielle- It's good to hear from you and know you're settling in fine. After Africa and Qatar, Eqypt seems like a mild experience for you! The thought of university life is more normal to me. Normal is relative, right? You are fortunate to have the opportunities and fortitude to take life by the horns and experience our world. It's not for everyone but certainly works for you.
Enjoy your new world and good luck with your studies. Be safe and keep us posted on life in your part of the world!
Love,
Joanne
So good to hear that you made it safely and are having a great time. We were at Camp with the camping crew over labor Day. Always a good time, but missed you. Had to drag David home before he started another Air Band up. We are planning another Kayaking outing with your parents later this month. Don't know where the summer has gone. Love the crisp air but am dredding the snow. Keep the blogs coming. I always feel like I've been on vacation after reading them. love Paula
Still the same Cairo Nice descriptions! Felt I was back in Cairo, after 20 years. I am sure that plenty is different and improved, but so much sounds the same...the crowds, dust, people (generally welcoming!) the sights and foods, smell and attitudes. Enjoy your amazing adventure, and keep us up to date. And why didn't you visit us at the lodge while you were in VT?!!! Take care! My husband wants us to visit as we have friend who live there, including you. Never know, we may just call you one day.
I really enjoyed your blog Hello Danielle
I am looking at links to find out more information on travelling (on local transport) from Morocco to Nigeria and maybe beyond...and came across your blog from the page "Bienvenue a Cote d'Ivoire" I just wanted to say I really enjoyed your blog. I am travelling with my girlfirend with no real fixed agenda and was wondering if you knew of any organisations you could recommend, that may want our help? We can teach maths and/or english. Thanks again Stewart
The first portion of this blog is from when I spent my last semester of college abroad in Valparaiso, Chile at the Universidad Catolica de Valparaiso, finishing up my requirements for my dual degree in Hispanic Studies and International Affairs. I lived with a host family in the neighboring city of Vina del Mar during spring semester of 2005.
July 2007- May 2008 I took off again, this time my travels took me to the other side of the globe - spending three months in Alexandria, Egypt studying Arabic and then 6 months outside of Accra, Ghana working at a UN Refugee camp for Liberians - with ... full info
