great Job
Jim, I really liked your blog it dealt with the items everyone should know about without being too wordy. If I had not been to Merida I would want to go after reading your blog, and I do want to go again. Congratulations Ron

Still on the move
Sounds like a great trip- you are leaving the rest of us behind. Thanks for the Blog- maybe next year you can stop by Apache Junction again. Hopefully springtime will bring Buffalo meeting time again and you can get us all caught up on your travels.

Thanks for Sharing Your Blog with Friendship Force Twin Cities!

China Blog
I really enjoyed your tour and photos. We love Budapest also, but doubt if we will ever get to China as Tereza prefers Europe. Hopefully will go to Koprea next year as Terezas nephew is with the Brazilian Embassy in Seoul. I was in Seoul with the Army in 1959-60, and again several years in the Reserves with the annual military exercise, the last year being the Olympics there. Like you I would enjoy seeing all the changes.

Thank you for letting us come along with you via your blog and great pictures
It was such fun "meeting" your lovely daughter and granddaughter through the pictures you displayed. What a wonderful memory you have given to them and also to yourself. We so enjoyed reading your adventurous blog-filled with humor,opinions and facts. Hope to see you at Ikea soon. The last of the Waskos leave this Tuesday. It will be nice to have the complete family together. Sad to report that Lori's mother was put in hospice care yesterday and Emma tells us that she is not expected to live for more than a week. Happy day to you. Doug and Karen

Wonderful Blog Jim! I have enjoyed reading each, but most especially this one from your ancestors' homeland!! Beautiful and loaded with such History!! Like especially, "The National passion & pasttime of Ireland is conversation, whether written, spoken or sung. The treasure of Ireland is its’ people"----- Well and truthfully said!! :) Many Blessings Mary Ann

Having fun yet. I could not help but think it's nice that NC is an X client. Like Tonito said: "Who you white man". Take care & good luck Bob Jim

Only you would know that. I did not know they were Irish. I bet they did not forget their Booze. Jim

Hudson Bay Company
Sounds like a great trip- and your experience with the motor home reminded me that when the Hudson Bay Company (I think it was) would set out on a trapping or fur buying trip they would only go one mile the first day and then unpack everything so they could see what they forgot and go back and get it.

Magnificent photography!
Hi Jim, The photos are exceptional. I'll look at them more carefully later. I'm looking forward to slowly reading your blog and imagining the events and scenery. Glad you all had a safe trip. Happy belated birthday. Anne

Wish I was there.
What a wonderful trip you and Mary Ann had. The stories and the pictures are all I expected of a wonderful time. Even though you were in a dangerous part of the world as far as possible Sunami's goes. I know people from other countries that like all of us, love their home. It's where they grew up, its what they know and love. Life takes us many places, and that's the dance. I'm so glad you and Mary Ann went.

Batik and Weaving demo.
Jim. a little correction to these beautiful picures. The two bottom pictures title are wrongly placed. The picture of a girl with earing is doing a BATIK (not Bitak) demo, while the other is the one who is weaving.

Bali trip
Thanks for the wonderful Blog and pictures. Great coffee, just don't ask them to prepare it, a little humid, terrific art, and warm people. What a great adventure.

Sounds like a great FF exchange
Carol and Patricia are friends. Carol telephoned and told me about your blog. It sounds like a wonderful exchange. I have visited Bali, and agree with you. It is a lovely, lovely country with warm and friendly people. I am a member of Oregon's Mid Willamette Valley FF.
