I just want to say a great big thank you to all those beautiful people I met on the road, and those at home, without whom I never would have made it to the end of (or maybe even started) my journey. You were my springboards and my guiding lights, even if we didn't speak the same language. I feel truly bless…

Hey, I'm enjoying your travels so much...glad you are recognizing people/places to be aware of and so happy the oregano oil is working out ...it's been a godsend to me. We went to London on the weekend to my Teachers' College 50th reunion. Here I thought I was only 50 yrs old so I think someone made a mistake...how did that happen!!!!?? I spent time with my friends from high school and we laughed about the fun we had and the silly things we did .So glad you don't do some of the same things LOL. I was amazed at how many of them didn't stay in teaching. Sam had a great time...met so many people who had friends in common with him.
Stay safe, my sweet!
love you

The pictures are great! I especially love seeing the ones with you in them, smiling and reminding me of your strong convictions in doing this trip in your own way. Be proud of yourself, your strength and your determination. You are doing this!

Well, my Dear, I am reliving our visits to Europe through your colourful tales and wish I was there with you . Greece was my favourite place on our trips but each place holds special memories . I'm not surprised that the Greek men stared at you...you are so gorgeous! I laughed when you said you checked for your wallet after the hug...smart girl! Stay safe...love you.
