julie love reading your blog, y! it's fun to catch up with your travels and experience them with you through your writing! enjoy your final days in the southern hemisphere :)

Teresa Hi Katelyn, Vin del Mar sounds fantastic. I want to go there. So happy to hear all is well. Love, Teresa

jane kay Hey "y", Just checking in on your blog and thinking about you as we are dreaming of snowy, wintery days here in Minnesota! The ski team is in full swing. Gene is an "official" assistant coach this year. He loves working with the team. Now, if we could just get some of the white stuff, especially for Maplelog! I love reading the stories about your adventures. I went to India when I was in college, and now some 20 plus years later, I love to read my journal. No computers back in the 1980's, so the pages of my notebook are starting to turn yellow! I hope that you too will keep this journal as it will be fun to look back to in the years ahead...... So, enjoy Thanksgiving. Enjoy your adventure to the fullest. We look forward to seeing you back on the trails this winter. Take care, and............. Cheers!!! (the wine sounds wonderful!) Jane and the rest of the K's

Nanny Happy Thanksgiving, Katelyn! Hope your remaining days are as interesting as your past ones have been. Be safe!

Ann Benson Hola Katelyn, I am enjoying reading your blogs so much. I feel like I am there with you. I wish I were! I look forward to everything you are doing and can't wait to hear more when you are back in Minnesota. Maybe you could stop in to our classroom and share some things with the students when you return. Take care. Be safe. Vaya con Dios. Ann Benson

Ruth Beaches, flowers and pisco- what a life! I'm not sure that skiing will be enough to bring you back to the MN winters. I suppose Nate could promise to fix you breakfast and dinner trays. . . Love, Ruth

Jenni Schnobrich Hi, Katelyn ~ Thanks so much for the information on Chilean elections.....especially fascinating as we go into ours next week. So glad you are back online and sharing photos with us. Have a great excursion next week! Love, Jenni, Todd, Brett, and Mareike

Jennifer Kate - I finally got caught up on the blog and checked out the pics. Next on my list is to get caught up with Andy's blog! I had the pleasure to have a wonderful pot roast dinner with your mom/dad, Nate, and both sets of your grandparents last Saturday! You missed seeing me on my motorcycle!! ;-) I am on my way today to see Sam. Its his 22nd birthday today and I am going to have lunch with him. It is a gorgeous day (around 60 degrees) and the weather is fantastic -- sunny and the leaves are changing! Please keep safe and keep blogging! I love reading your adventures!! Love ya, - Aunt Jennifer

Ruth Kate, Keep up the great adventures and blog. Tell us more about their reactions to the debates and our wallstreet woes. I heard Monty speaks better spanish that Tucker, but perhaps with a bit of training from your new host father... Love Ruth and the Moser men.

Jenni Schnobrich Oh, Katelyn....it just occurred to me......I hope you didn't lose your photos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope to see more soon!
