gran Again an opportunity to revisit the world with you. Such fun! Love always, Gran

Rosie-Meets-World Wow that was an awesome blog! Really good!

Gran Gautney Hi World Bell, So glad to have all this info about Venice that I didn't know. Sounds like you better like water to live there! Gracious!!

World Rings Bell Yes, we saw more than enough crazy driving! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

World Rings Bell Luv you all and miss you all as well! xxoo

World Rings Bell To Gran, I HOPE THE DOG COMES IN PORTLAND!!!!

Paige Bell, it must drive you crazy having so many people trying to make you buy something. I cannot believe they even follow your car! I saw the picture on your mom's Facebook of your henna and it looked beautiful! I hope you were able to attend some of the festivals. I heard that the driving in India is very crazy and that they are hardly any traffic rules. Did you see this? Miss you and I am thinking of you. Can't wait to hear about your travels. xx

Paige Bell, I am glad that you don´t have to worry about sinking in the Dead Sea. I think even people who don't know how to swim would be fine swimming in there. It does not sound like the water tasted very good but at least you can say you tried it! Can't wait to see you next week! xx

Paige Bell, I am so excited that you were able to see the places of Jesus' birth and death. These are very important places and you are truly lucky for getting to see them. I am also happy you could go under the alter. The stations of the cross are also something great to know and now you can understand the stations. Miss you xx

Paige Bell! What an amazing accomplishment climbing so many stairs! I am sure the beautiful view at the top was worth the climb. It sounds very scary to climb up all of the stairs on a donkey. I am glad that your dad was standing up for that lady. I miss you! xx

Jordan Rampulla That's super cool! I love the name by the way! cant wait to see you in three weeks!!!! xoxooxox

Aunt DeeAnn Way to go Bell! 800 stairs -- I don't think that I could do it. It sounds like an amazing experience (except for the mean kids -- I'm glad that your Dad stepped in). We all love you and miss you. XOXO

Gran Gautney Hi Bell, Wow! I know I couldn't have done those stairs...Good Job! Those donkeys remind me of the "dog" that is coming into our lives. Do you know when?? Will it be in Portland? I am so excited about it. The donkeys reminded me because I know that any dog that lives with you guys will be treated so much better than those poor donkeys. Let me know the latest on the dog thing when you can! Much love, Gran

jordan rampulla wow! that so cool! I miss you so much!

Gran Gautney Wow Bell!! I have always loved Indian and Persian carpets...to me they are like the canvas of an artist. Your blog makes me believe this even more. How much has to be accomplished by hand and how much can be accomplished by a helpful machine?? Love you much, Gran
