Camel Toes Chris, glad your tooth is better. Jennie had me worried there for a while. Nice camel toe comment. I'm sure that one won't go unnoticed! Wish you had gotten a picture of a camel spitting! - Brian
Schwalmieeeeeeeeeee! Sorry to hear about the tooth, 60$ sounds a little sketchy, I doubt novacain comes in the package either so you know what that means... better find a nice happy hour before your appointment.
P.S. I agree with Jen, eat some, your starting to look like Jeff... haha - Nathaniel
thanks Hey. I've been reading your blog for a couple of weeks now. And I enjoy hearing about your adventures. You inspire me (to travel more). I hope all goes well with the tooth stuff. Root canals suck. - Liz
Eat more CHris- EAT SOMETHING! you're fading away..... That town is so beautiful, I hope you took lots of pictures- we can do lots with the colors. This last month seems to be dragging.... xo, Jen
Co-Workers Chris,
You know how the Software Engineering departments are around this area. I work with nothing but individuals from India. I have 5 guys in my office now looking at your Blog amazed by your pictures and clear cut descriptions of the country. You are now officially a SUPERSTAR! - E.D.
Chris- Glad to hear that your tooth seems to be better. I'm mom's date for Mark's wedding so we all can have a good time. Come home safely, loving all of these great pictures you keep taking! -Lisa
Brooooo!! Sounds like India is a rough place! Make sure you take care of yourself, they are ruthless. Be sure to rock shoes not flip flops! I wouldn't want you to step in any poo, especially human poo! YUMMY!
E.D. - E.D.
I miss you!!! Chris, I hope your tooth gets better so you can enjoy India. I can't wait for July! I'm missing you, fooooool. xoxoxoxo, love, Jen (thanks for the shout out)
Loving the view!! Chris, Your pictures just blow me away. I can't wait to see more and hear all about Nepal when you're home. Lokking forward to hearing about India. - Bev
comment great pics! enjoyed your nepali entries. glad to hear the maoists aren't out and about. i was in nepal during oct-nov and heard some stories that kept me away from annapurna. well not really... just tired from walking so much elsewhere. couldn't face eating more "fryed rice or noodes with vegitabes" and watered down tea :)
happy trails... - 6_months_off
first comment i really didnt know i could comment, sorry chris. Wow, sounds like your butt is hurting. Sitting on the local bus for 23 hours... dear god! that must have been rough. And now that your sick your bumm must be hurting AGAIN! :( drink lots of water man. Your body is probaby dehydrated for sure.
So great blog man. i could here you talking as i was reading. laughed a couple of times for sure! :) haha
well man we all miss you back in the states so get better, do your thing and get your ass home in time to come up to dewey with me this summer. - Timmy
Wow, those pictures are amazing Chris! I can't wait to take and blow some of them up to decorate my room in my house next year. My favorite on was the sunrise at the base camp. The sun rays coming up are brillant! Miss you, come home safe! -your little sis - Lisa
Nepal WOW! I heard a lot about MOMO's and my friends from Nepal can never stop talking about them!
Dude just take a picture and post it...!
Nepalese people are simple, friendly and plain.
I love Nepal.
HAVE A SAFE TRIP - C.K.
... i'm sorry you thought san juan del sur was disappointing. that is my town where i live when im down there and i absolutely love it. some of the best people you will ever meet live right there in that itty bitty little town. i know the owner over at majagual... very good guy. - Natalie
Food Chris, if you are going to talk about how great a dish of food is, I MUST see a picture of it. I really want to see pictures of all this grub you are eating! How else will we be able to explain to you that you were actually eating sewer rat and dog meat :) - Brian
:) As Always your pictures are amazing! They also evoke many feelings... worry (omg please be careful!) , excitement (I know you are having so much fun!), awe (so many beautiful pictures), laughter (that lady massaging your feet is HILARIOUS), and envy- I wish I was there!!!!
Laos Chris, the only way someone would touch your feet is if you paid them big bucks! I'm glad you were able to take that boat ride. Reminds us of a riverboat going down the Mississippi during Mark Twain's time and how all the townspeople would come out to wave. Enjoy your time, be safe and know that we love you! - Mom
As if your chilli is'nt bad enough.....haha j/k... You would take some cooking classes, If I could think of a famous cook I would compare you to him right now.. but I got nothin. I wanna taste some mean wasabi when you get back, or is that just Japanees?
p.s j/k about the chilli.. it's dam good! - Nathaniel
Water Fight Man if i were you i would have only filled one bucket and walked around dunking people's heads into my bucket..hahaha That would save water and people would know you were a serious water fighter..
Well get that recipe book ready, we will all be awaiting your cooking lessons..
Jason - Jason
Water Fight! I can why you would enjoy a good old fashioned water fight. Did you buy one of those big super soakers to use? I wouldn't like sleeping on a bus and being woken up with water thrown in my face. We are eagerly awaiting a traditional Thai meal prepared by Chef Schwalmie when you return. Keep safe! - Mom
Travelling is a passion of mine and I think it is one of the best things you can do for yourself. I got interested in other cultures at a young age when I visited a friend in Egypt. I did a few months trekking around Europe after college. Then a few years later I went for a year long solo trip around the world. That was sooooo amazing (the bulk of these blogs are from that trip). Since then I met an amazing woman (Haley) and she and I try to visit at least one new country a year (more like 2). Check out my stuff, I hope you enjoy it.
...get out there and experience the world!... full info
