It has been such fun to follow your trip -- you have been a million miles away and right next door all at once! Such a cool thing for you. And now you're off to my ancestral homeland, Scotland (okay, ONE of my ancestral homes -- you could also have gone to Germany, Sweden, Ireland, etc., and done the same thing...), and I hope you have such a marvelous time. We do miss you here, and are anxious

Hi, It's Rhonda Dorgan from Lowell, AR by way of Hawthorne, CA, Greeley, CO, Salem, Portland and Vernonia, OR.

I received word of your blog just today from Dorothy Kulisek, who used was my beloved teacher at Castle Valley Academy in Moab, UT. I have enjoyed so much skimming your messages and seeing the pictures. You were truly blessed that you have the chance to travel like that - if

Wow! What a view! Can you really see the mountains and lake from the window? It's amazingly beautiful!

Oh, those pictures of Collonges are so familiar! I spent a week visiting one of my best fiends who was studying there the year I was studying in London. It was midterm break and I spent a week exploring Collonges and Geneva with her and some friends. It was fantastic. We even climbed the mountain one afternoon, and though it almost killed me, it was SO fun, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Papalopogus! I can't imagine a WORSE time for your camera chip to die! The wretchedness! It's a good thing I have a million pictures of the Vatican. I will have to try & find the negatives so that I can make you two some copies.

I'm so sad to hear you didn't get to go the Vatican museum & the Sistine chapel! Those were two places that were extraordinary!

So good to hear voices today! Your stories are amazing! I'm glad you're doing well - may the grand adventure continue to send you happy surprises! (Hope your e-mail is accessible soon.) ^_^

These stories may have been for children, but I absolutely loved them. Thanks for sharing them. Vonnie, you should write children's stories. :o)

You two are having such a marvelous time, and you deserve every minute of it. Love it, enjoy it, savor it, and don't come back until you're good and ready! :o)

But do note that you are both sorely missed.

This is really nice and awesome, I like it.
If I had a roll of celluloid in the filmbay of my camera,
I would take a snapshot and create a digital image and
a neat screensaver of it, that's for sure.
Take care,
Ben

This sounds absolutely magical! I was getting worried since none of us kids had heard from either of you for about a week. I was ecstatic to figure out it's because you're having the time of your life!!!

Yes indeed. I thought of being in Jordan and Israel and thought how much fun it would be to use the sling. But when the tour of the Elah Valley took place, my sling was actually in my pants pocket at the laundry! Only while on a different tour (to the Bar Kochba Caves at Guvrin) was I able to ask for a photo stop to catch the moment! I'm very, very glad that I've never had to use my "slinging

DaddyO...how fun it must have been to use your sling where David used his! Did you pack it for that specific reason? I love it!!

Hope you're having a BLAST!!

You're welcome Dad! You know I love messing with pictures, and I couldn't make out the decoration in the original picture until I enlarged it.

I'm so glad you are digging us such interesting stuff - It would have been a let down if you went so far to just dig up dirt. ^_^

Oh, I also want to thank Heather for adding the close-up of the pottery so it is easy for everyone to see. :-)

Mark's hard drive IS being filled with photos! But whether I'll be willing to return it, or whether I'll want to buy it ... well, that's another question!

What an adventure, Ole and Vonnie! It's hot back home now, and the wheat's being harvested.

Summer is in full swing, with Muddy Frogwater just around the corner. This weekend is "Logs to Frogs".

Thanks so much for sharing your time and I've enjoyed reading some segments from it, as I've gotten time. Oh, and you're welcome for the hard drive. Just remember, I expect you

Your stories have been so interesting. I'm so glad to hear of the good time you are having. Your daughter is right, you look wonderful relaxing by the Dead Sea! We do miss you here, but God is good and you organized your church well!

This is the type of story that should be a movie! How amazing that you got to hear it first hand! Has she written it down at all? If you go to the museum see if they have any more info about it's written history! So amazing and tragic at the same time!
