eric: Nice journal, have a great week!

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.

I´m Connected - I have a Cell Phone!! And here´s my address too!

I have a cell phone! The number is 62-9922-2527. (country code is 55) To call from the US, get an international line (from my house, you diall 011 for this), and then dial 55 for the Brazil country code, and finally my number.

For the more technology oriented among you, I can send and receive text messages from this phone too, and I´ve been told it´s really cheap (like just a few cents).

Some of you have asked for my address too, so I´ll post it for the world to see. Just remember you have to use an 80 cent stamp if you´re writing to me from the US. I promise to write an authentic snail mail letter to anyone who sends me one!
