Lj Hi Eric....we are packing for Mill Creek and missing you.....but I know your having a great time.....take care sweetie, Uncle Lj

auntie lissa especially dangerous if drinking arak and riding with no helmet. get your rest kiddo...your schedule sound deceptively rigorous.

auntie lissa what a fun day except for the ruckus outside your bungalow. July 4th was overcast/foggy in the bay area.

auntie lissa braver than me...i wouldn't enter the same water with a jellyfish nearby no matter how small. what a brave gal! take care of your self.

auntie lissa rest and fluids always help. Remember to eat though.

auntie lissa very cute picture of you...hope that you kick your cold soon!

Mary Ann Zblo Hope you are feeling better. Do you have meds to take? Not like America! Still sounds like a great place. To see ancient ruins, Wow! I'm jealous too. Take lots if pics for us to see when you get back. Love you, Auntie Mary Ann

Mary Ann bloom Farming is primitive! Beautiful countryside. Do they even have a tractor there? Take care of your cold, love Auntie Mary Ann

Mom That sounds like a great weekend, even despite a sunburn! Beautiful pictures- I guess the travel magazine ads don't lie- I hope your cold is a short one

Mary Ann Bloom What a life! Amed looks beautiful. You are experiencing the culture at the grass roots level. Take it all in and enjoy this once in a lifetime trip. Is this a public health class? So love reading your blog. Love, Auntie Mary Ann

auntie lissa Wow...that's something that a family member welcomed outsiders to the cremation ceremony as Westerners are more private unless, of course, it's the papparazzi! It's great that it was an interesting experience. I'd like to hear more about this when you return. Take good care. ooooxxxxx

auntie lissa I wonder what's at the basis of "uneven distribution of donated goods?" How do the elderly end up in these facilities? Must be trying to witness even if it is miles from home. Anyways, enough of the commentary, and hooray for the high-fiving silverback!!!
