Hi from BFLO!I actually just got home from coaching our new Pre-School Camp.We did gymnastics for about an hour and then did a craft,ate a snack,and told stories.At story time,I told the kids that there was a boy that lived at the bottom of the pit.He had a bed, a kitchen, and a bathroom.And whenever anyone jumped into the pit, he would get angry because he would smell everyones dirty feet!They were shocked!If anything, I hope this message puts a smile on your face.Thinking of you guys xoNatalie

Hi ladies and crew! Loving the Facebook posts and these - reading everyone's messages to you all is almost as fun as Rick's posts! Keep the smiles everyone! David is super psyched for you and says Hey! As for me, I'm off to Minneapolis tomorrow and then back to take mom on a hike (um are we allowed to say we're hiking when we're only going for 5hrs and 500' ft elevation? :-) Have fun all!

I feel like a stalker, checking the site as often as I can to see any new pictures or postings. Sounds as though you have all been busy and active. I am tired just thinking of all you have done in such a short time! Hope tomorrow is another great day. Have fun, enjoy your journey and make tons of memories to bring home to share with your families and friends. You are doing what the rest of us only dream of doing, so explore and experience everything you can. Love Sharon and Jacquie

Your trip sounds amazing so far!!!! The pictures Amanda showed me are absolutely beautiful! I am living vicariously through your adventure right now...sounds so interesting, Inca sites, caves in the hillside, treasures, and local shopping, which I'm sure would be ranked as one of my favorites!!! I am keeping the kids up to date in your adventure and they are loving it!!! Can't wait to get together for dinner when Amanada is in town so you can tell us all about it...praying for you and your dad!

For: Jurij

So what are you eating instead of the Ceviche?

For: Beej

We miss you! I thought about you yesterday when I was teaching, and I had not one, but two images of bears! The usual little white ones (I love them) and then one with two brown bears face to face. I'll be sure to show them to you when you return. At any rate, I hope you are enjoying your well deserved vacation. In closing, I've written you a haiku to keep you focused. Hi Soha! Oh the Inca Trail I'm sure it does not smell. . .much Please find me some bears! Love you Shahshank!
