Christy Davidson:
You're not going to stop the blog now that you're home are you? I bet it feels strange to be back home. Good luck figuring out what to do next.
Christy Davidson:
I can't believe your time is almost over either! You've had a lot of fun and it has been neat to live vicariously through your journal. Enjoy your last couple of weeks!
Greg Wegler:
Mary,I was looking at your fantastic website. It appears that you are having the time of your life. Your friends at Harbortown Rotary all envy and miss you. Stay safe and we look forward to your return to hear about your adventures. Good luck!Greg
Mary:
Not many virus problems on a Mac, but not many programs, either! I'll check out Foxfire next time it rains!
tom besore:
Maybe you should invest in a Macintosh?? Very few virus problems on that platform.Have you tried the Firefox browser yet? It is great.Another solution might be to read all your e-mail through www.mail2web.com. This would avoid downloading the e-mail to your computer, but would keep it on the server, letting you read and delete without getting viruses on your own machine.
Eileen:
Hi Mary,I missed hearing from you today. Hope the peace walk was fun. Your pics are great and it's fun reading about all your adventures! Keep 'em coming!Love, Eileen
Tom Besore:
Yeah! Photos at last. That bridge in Brasilia is cool. Is it for sale?Also love the street scenes with architecture. Just like home.
Tom Besore:
Oh, I am so confused. What I meant to say was I think you are at GMT - 3, which is three ours ahead of our own GMT-6 here in Illinois.
Tom Besore:
The link for the incorrect time zone calculation was http://www.brol.com/trv_cty02weather.asp?ID=18
Tom Besore:
Mary, this link states that goiania is GMT -6, but other sites say GMT-3. Which is it? I think it's GMT-6 which is three hours ahead of our time now.Also, do you have broadband web access or just dialup? Would be fun to send you a webcam and try a videocall sometime over the internet.
Tom Besore:
Okay, time to get a Brazil photo album going. Enough about laying by the pool and relaxing. How about getting up and taking some pictures of your surroundings???
khawer:
mary! are you back?! enjoyed looking the pictures! welcome back!
Angela Nery:
Mary, just today I had the opportunity to read your journal trip. I was delighted to read the news of your trip. I foresee I writer here. I think you could think about it.

Hey Mary! I am very glad to know and "see" how amazing your trip has been.

Cindy:
Mary, Don't deposit all of those dollars. We haven't had any donuts for some time now.PS It's encouraging to know that even the savy traveler can do an "Oops" now and then.
Cindy:
Such great photos. And it is so much fun to live a little through your adventures. Sure wish I was with you instead of at my desk worrying about who is to follow in your footsteps. I am so happy that you are having such a wonderful time. Call us when you get back.
