YOU ROCK
You are so unbelievable. Your adventures are amazing. Thanks for making the world a better place. I can't wait for you to come home but you seem to have found something you really love so maybe you are already home. Miss you much. Lin

Wandke, So great to read about your experiences and sad that the trip is coming to an end...but not your adventures. You are only just beginning and can't wait to keep reading about it. Higgins

The American Dream where it all starts!
WOW!!! Your second to last paragraph scares me. You see I grew up and spent a decade in a smelly and dirty village and I am now so very fortunate (with a lot of hard work) to have a beautiful home and family here. This is my AMERICAN dream. This is why my family came! We tend to force our best effort on attempting to change others (in other lands) to our American likeness, while so much voluntary help is still desparately needed here. Don't forget about your PEEPS!!! Anyhow, if your giving it all up.....I'd love your beautiful home in Vegas. hehehehehe

oh yeah!
oh yeah! HAPPY EASTER!

my t-shirt says: am i getting older or is the supermarket playing great music?
hello my adventurous one...........i love that you are spending your time with humble, grateful, poverty stricken people and have learned at an early age that the only thing that matters is what's in your heart. unfortunately, some people never learn that lesson. i am with you in those jungles, overcoming all the obstacles........... and you are with me, deep in my heart. i love you so much and are very proud of the woman you have become. keep up the good work, the world is a much better place with you in it.

Whew! I'm finally up to date with your travel....I think?!?!
Mmmmmmm!! Chocolate! wow, how great is that to end your trip there with chocolate. And to meet Emi, she definitely is adventurous. (or pretty crazy!) Glad you are safe and coming home soon. miss you!

Buenos Aires
My neighbor Hector and Rosa was just there last year, now you, I feel like I've been there too! Their stories was amazing and yours is just as fun. Glad you where able to catch the game.

Cool glaciers!
Wow! you guys hike the crazy looking fox glacier? It look dangerous, but adventurouse at the same time. Really cool pictures of the site and not to mention the glacier crevassess.

not chilean indians
hi. great blog (i liked the hooter's entry ;) ). the indian dancers you saw were not chilean indians, at least they were not dressed like chilean indians nor were they playing any chilean indian instruments. the main indian group in chile are the mapuches (who make up 85% of chile's indigenous population, and about 5-7% of the total population of chile). obviously i can't hear what they were playing in your pictures, but none of the imagery, dress, or instruments are chilean, and physically they also don't look like chilean indian, and you're right, they do look like north american indian dress (at least someone's attempt at it--looks too costumey and cheesey to be authentic. you're from the US so maybe you've been to a pow wow, so you'd know their dress is not authentic). anyway, just wanted to clear that up. hopefully they put on a good show regarless. cheers!

I LOVE IT!
Stephanie, Just the mental picture of all those people laughing their heads off while going THROUGH! the water falls had me laughing my head off. Thanks for that. Keep those great stories coming. :) Jen Hnatuk. ( your mama's friend)

ENVIOUS!!
WOW, Steph...you look like you're having a blast. I'm living vicarioulsy through you :) Ryan had a blast; it was cool to hear the stories. Your pics were breathtaking!! Have fun, be safe, and drink a lil' for me!!
