we enjoy very much of your global trekking. I like you posing on the beach with a boat in the background. Nice view. It looks not to clean with squid beating. How on earth people can eat squid or octpus from the sand without washing. How is the taste is pretty interesting. Keep up your writing for the remain journey. We look forward to it. Have a splendid time of the treking.

Nice Pic's. One Question for ya! How did you get on top of the elephant? Is it like the movies where they wrap their trunk around you and place you on their backs? ;)

Hey- Congrats on making it to Victoria Falls. I can't believe they fit 150 students into that classroom. Just looking at those women waiting at the hospital to go into labor makes me appreciate UM hospital a little more =) We just got back from the Dominican Republic and had a great time, now it is back to work and to reality. Now that your palm is dead will you be able to update your blog? Hope so! I love reading all about your adventures. Take care!

Hey there,
I've been following along with you on your whole trip and love it. It's been interesting and quite beautiful. I had the photo of the Thames as my background for a while and now the sunset off the coast of Zanzibar is up (can't stop singing the Billy Joel song though, so it may have to go soon enough!). It seems that you're learning a lot about the people in the countries you visit and I'm fascinated to learn along with you. Can't wait to read more.
Be safe!

Great pictures! I am not sure I want to order octopus next time we go to a restaurant. They don't look appetizing. How big is the elephant anyway! You and Karen Looked small up there. Love to read your blog. Appreciate your taking time to share your adventures with us. Take good care of yourself!

Hey sweetie. Your head just isn't flat enough. Try sleeping on it at night. I got your text message on Saturday, I was at Meijer's with a cart load and I couldn't get home in time. :( Better luck next time! Got your postcard too. Next time send the Rhinos!

Hi Michelle - I sent a note a while back about floorpans, and have since been silently reading and enjoying your pictures. My favorite color, much like yours I think, is Blue, as in Go Blue!

Your adventures are very inspiring, especially considering the only other country I have ever been in is Canada!

Hi Michelle. Lisa, Mia and I just got back from the Petosky area yesterday. Now that Mia is crawling, she's a bit less tolerant of the car seat. There were times yesterday when It felt like we were driving to Botswana. :)

Love the pictures. I was shocked at the picture of the women about to go into labor. Do they at least get a tent for the actual birth?

Hey Dale, Mia is crawling already? When will she be crawling to her first gymnastics lesson? :)

There is an actual birthing room for the delivery, but until then they just sit barefoot and pregnant on the lawn!

Hey Michelle!
Just checking in to see what you've been up to - I'm going to be looking for my next great adventure, so keep up the good research work for me!

Hey Michelle... amazing photos, wonderful stories... thank you so much for sharing... always look forward to reading your blog. Definitely interested in learning/adopting your newly learned octupus beating techniques, figure I can get alot of use out of that back here... though most days I feel like the octopus.
Your Mt K segment is beyond impressive... but would have been even more so had you climbed it in heels. :P Next time, right?
Stay safe, rest them feet, and please keep the stories and photos coming!
.. oh, and dont leave any empty coke bottles laying around... I hear it starts problems... :)
