Hey Matt! Your trip looks unreal so far. Glad your having a time for yourself. Best of luck on your journies. Fair Winds!

Wow! Ian is sure looking wooley! Must be cold! I LOVE the artwork, it is like looking at a retrospective, awesome. Dolphin looks like he is having fun too, LOL. That salt lake just turned on your creative juices, I love to take photos like that. You would win a contest or two with some of those shots! Stay well and safe! Can't wait to see what you do next - Ciao!

Hey Matt, I am enjoying all the pictures and your writings. You guys must be having a blast. We miss you back here. Be safe. Dinner on us when you get back.

Hey Babyboy, Pictures, pictures, pictures!!! I love turning on my computer to check all of your blogs and pictures. Better watch out for some of those South American delicacies, hope you don't have another day like the one in Bolivia! I think I would like Val-par-ee-so! It looks very pretty and I like the pastel colors on the buildings against the beautiful blues and greens from the water and sky! Miss you lots!! Love, Mommy xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Hi Matt! It looks like you are feeling better- yay! Your pictures are beautiful, and I'm so jealous. I loved the Ian Paw picture! Thanks for the shout out. It looks like you are having a great time and some pictures of Chris's birthday remind me of a certain incident with an appliance dolly.. i bet you wish I was there with my problem-solving skills. One month down, eleven to go! Make Ian call me soon. Miss you! I want one of those cool woven hats!!

P.S. The Chilean graffiti is much more acceptable and artistic than the American graffiti I've seen. Some of their graffiti is very good!!

Dear Babyboy, I am enjoying your pictures so much. Your photography is awesome and so clear!

The colors in all of your pictures is really good, I feel like I am there looking at the sites. Maybe you should take up photography after your year tour.

I enjoyed hearing all of your voices last night. So happy to hear you were able to get a warm shower. I love and miss all of you!! Happy trails to all!!! Love, Mommy xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Hey Babyboy, Your new pictures were great!! Living in a land rover for four days sounds like LOTS OF FUN! Your adventurous side is really showing up! Looks like all of you are having a good time and making many new friends! Be sure to take Christopher out to dinner where they can sing "Happy Birthday" in Spanish!! I miss all of you!! Love, Mommy xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Hey Matthew! It's quiet here at work and when 4:20pm comes around I am always thinking of you. :) I revisited the place we got kicked out of on your going away outing and it wasn't the same without you guys there. We will have to do it again when you guys come home! Keep in touch.

Hey Matthew! Where are you guys? It is hard to keep up. Don't forget that today, Wed., Jan 30th is Chris's Birthday. Wish him Happy Birthday from your Mom and I. Tell Ian that the bank won the National Community Service Award from the ICBA for our collection of Christmas presents for the foster children at Christmas. Thought you guys might like to know that. Have fun and let us hear from you. Luv, Dad

Matthew, I love the new pictures!! I had a wonderful time looking at them and laughing at the three of you! I hope all of you are still having a wonderful time! I have decided that I am tired of studying, miss you boys, and might quit law school for a bit to join you!!! hahaha! Wouldn't mom and dad love that!!! Keep me posted, I still have not heard from any of you!!! =(

Love and miss you bunches!!

Michelle
