Lil' cousin (Betsy) Hi Z! Hope you're havin' an awesome time this summer. I've been thinking about you, and how my cousin is now a world traveler! I leave next Wednesday for the Czech Republic (I'm doing a mission trip with my church) so I get to go overseas, too! I'm very excited. Well, you're in my prayers! Love from all of us Williams.

Taylor/SLL Gals Hi girls! Jo and I are breaking the law and checking out all of your GREAT photos and blogs (while at work! hehehe) Sus your mom came in and gave us this site, which is great! I am so glad the two of you got this opportunity to travel together and post these great pics for us to admire. We just wanted to let you know we're thinking about you and wish you the best. Godbless, Taylor, Jo, Jessica...and the whole SLL fam. Can't wait to see you MUAH!

Mrs. P & Amy Hi Susannah, Buon giorno! If you're still in Italy when you get this message, be sure to try the appetizer made of zucchini blossoms stuffed with cheese...zucca di ??? (Order without anchovies.) And it goes without saying to eat gelato everyday. If you have time, one of our favorite side trips from Rome was to Ostia Antica. It's quicker & cheaper than heading to Pompeii. We'll check back for more news.

Tracey Hey Z, You are having way too much fun!!!! It was great to see that the "manequin pis" actually had some clothes on, normal he is very natural! We are enjoying reading all about your adventures... Love Tracey & Robert.

Big Sister Rachael We miss you tons, Susannah! The kids enjoyed seeing your pics here online but the boys want to know when you are coming home. I just sent you an e-mail with Nastya's info - it would be so fun if you could get together with her while you're in Germany. Please keep us updated with the pics & blogs - it's so fun to hear about all your adventures!

Mom Hey Z: It is great fun to read about what you are doing and to see your pictures. Thanks for taking time to keep us up to date with your trip through this travel blog!
