Wow Bula, another amazing adventure in your travels.. Now I want to visit Tours too. There is soo much cool stuff to see in France man, what a contrast to you time in NZ where it is just moutains and bush to look at and history that dates back to 1850. Good luck with your first week of teaching girl.
Love Ngaire

From the Redhead in Australia :) Shelly! It's sooo good to see that you're having a wonderful time! You're travel lessons sound a lot like some that i have learned thus far ! The pictures are amazing as always! I hope you continue to have an amazing time! You'll be happy to know Alison and I have booked a trip to New Zealand and have looked into many of your suggestions! More details to come :) I am soooo excited from what you said and your other travel blogs! I'll talk to you soon! Tell Ms Kelly Jakes hello for me too !:) Love you!
You're so close!! Shelly!! I can't believe you're in Paris, since I've just been there 2 months ago (and visited Mont Martre and the creepy bone collection, I did not like that at all, while my boyfriend had heaps of fun making photos of the skuls, like you ;-)). Have fun in the land of chroissant et pain chocolat (love them!!!). Gonna see you in december!!! XX helma
Yay! Shelly! I heart your bones picture. It makes me happy. I don't think bones would make me happy, but what a cool thing to visit! Looks like you're having a rocking time in Paris - can't wait to hear more. :-) Oooh, and I also heart crepes with bananas and Nutella. Mmmm.....
Love ya!

You haven't lost your touch! Well Shell, I see that your exceptionally healthy sense of humor has carried you remarkably well through the ups and downs of your first week in "The City of Lights!" Watch out France, you're in for a lesson on how not to be stuffy! If anybody can let her hair down and "go with the flow," Shelly can! You continue to make me proud, sweetie. Love you always, Mommie

Hi Shelly
Thank you for the final blog from the south seas! I really enjoyed reading all your blogs. Can't say that I have a favorite. I once lived in NZ and visited virtually every town and city. Had a great time.
Are you still going to keep this same site for your European journals?
You can be sure that I'll be watching for you this fall. I think you are a wonderful writer and you also take great pictures.
All the best to you in the future.
Another Shelly.
Hey Shelly
We're still waiting for another blog. You left us hanging in Fiji. What are you up to now? I'm glad you had such a good time in NZ. Take care and fill us in on the rest of your trip, Please!
You can write a travelogue! Shelly, this is Brenda, your Mom's good friend!I have read every one of your entries, though I haven't looked at all the pictures in full image! I agree with Charles on the Fiji picture that was too awesome to be real, it took my breath away! You take my breath away too, with being so brave and resiliant through your wonderful tour of the other side of the world. I loved being there through your eyes! I can see that no matter what you do once you graduate, you will be a traveler and adventurer! You have the gift of words too, so keep on writing! What a wonderful group of friends you have made, and believe me you will be in touch with many of them your whole life. Thank you so much for keeping this up as hard as it must have been, and for sharing with all of us. Take care, love ya! Brenda.
