Sean, we are so sad that you endured such an ordeal, but are happy that you are on the mend and in safe circumstances. It must have been hard to leave Rachel. You two have surely cemented an amazing relationship. Our best to you both!
You are so BRAVE You must be the bravest women I know - - - It is so unbelievable what you two have been through...take care and rest during your yoga course...Sean is in good hands. Love Dave and Judy
Sean I just wanted to say that I am glad that you made it home and are getting better. I think Gin and tonic is a bartenders advice for malaria? Take it easy Ian
Best Wishes Welcome home Sean, sorry about the circumstances. Hope your health returns to you very quickly! And Best of Luck to Rachel, may she enjoy her remaining time abroad and return home safe and sound!
The boys love seeing all of the pictures from your adventures! Especially love Sean in purple! Looks like you are having the time of your lives. Enjoy!
Woah! You Guys are awsome, I'm glad you guys are still safe, happy, and ready for new things. It was such a good time getting to know you and it's awsome to see that you guys are having such a good time. I'm jealous, all i do is study study study right now!
Wow! Sounds like you guys are having a great time. We all miss you and can't wait to see you in person to hear of your adventures! Have fun this week and remember...absence makes the heart grow fonder. The time will fly by and you'll be back together before you know it. Love you guys, Chris and Sonya
Good to hear from you Just when I begin to worry, I get a message from you and once again marvel at all the sights that you are experiencing. I love hearing from you and seeing the photos. I know next to nothing about India but am learning from you. My friend and coteacher, Joan, has a daughter working in India. Wish we could get you together with Molly.
Nick just turned 65(!!!!) and of course I held a party. Colleen and Lisa were great helps. My Chicago family is smaller than ever and soon Colleen will be moving to Milwaukee so I am enjoying every day that I can with her. Young Nick came in for a retreat and joined Nick, Jason and Ben for a golf scramble at Cog Hill on Saturday followed by a birthday party at our house. Altogether, Nick had a great birthday and felt very loved and appreciated. He even got a cake from Maddy and Lily!
What an amazing adventure you are on and it seems very strange to be hearing about life in foreign lands as we take one day at a time here in Lake Forest. I miss you and send you much love.

It is so great to hear about your travels, hopefully you are eating more then Sean did while we were in Europe together. I look forward to seeing all the pictures when you get back. I am in Hong Kong with my mom right now, I wish we could have crossed paths while we are on the same side of the world. Colorado is beautiful and sunny and waiting for you two with open arms when you get back to the States!!
Miss Yall those are some beautiful pics! how the hell are you two? im in Flint for my last day before I go back to work in San Fran. i too have been on the road for a bit, though not quite the same level of exoticness. lol tale care, have fun and you two are constantly in my thoughts.

Keep on keepin' on It's amazing to hear and see all about your travels this Fall.
So much to see and do in this world. How have you been able to communicate?
Are there many English speakers in India?
MSU is 3-0
The Lions are 2-0....oops, sorry to spoil your day , Sean!!!
Peace, JIMMY
Great pics. you two. Its nice to here you made it to India after such anamazing trip in Buhundande. Just from listing to your journal entry, I felt like I was right there with ya. That picture of Rachel, Is that what I think It is!! Peace in the Middle East! Andre
Namaste SO SO SO glad to hear from you ...we realize that the e-mail takes forever.... if you can get to it.. but I was getting a little worried because I hadn't heard from you. Thanks for the pictures they gave us a little snapshot of the scenery. Edna and Gadi said that they did the same bus trip in India 30 years ago... but started in India and ended in Katmandu. Incredible isn't it.
Erika and Charlotte are still here with us but leave for Grand Rapids tomorrow and then to Chicago and home Andre is really missing them (especially Charlotte) and is having withdrawl symptoms. We have had a great time with them and love to have Charlotte here (and Erika too) when we come home from work. Katie got a good job in Denver full-time at the Montesorri school. Dave and Courtney are settled there too (in Boulder) . We miss you and pray that you stay safe and have fun and meet lots of interesting people. We love you both more , Love Mom
ahh. romantic honeymoon so some how i havn't been on your list, so michelle forwarded this to me. this is my first time hearing how things are. ...reminds me of stories my folks told me about their honeymoon in san fran. best of luck you guys, it is strange without you here to say the least: football is boring and there is no chicken to eat. can't wait to see pictures.
