I did get a cool picture of a grasshopper about to be devoured by a green snake.<BR/><BR/>Hi Mindy! We miss you guys.<BR/><BR/>Cami, I am glad that you are a fellow bird lover.

Thanks for taking the time to share with us all. You guys have truly made the most of it! We're wishing you the very best for the journey home. And, selfishly, I am glad you are not moving to the other side of the world. It would be really hard for us to get our "fix" of you and the fellas.mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01292194888513270595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17898647.post-68939451722778491192008-01-24T05:56:00.000-05:002008-01-24T05:56:00.000-05:00Did you have bugs?

Thanks for your generous comment, Tamar. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Peter, that is so cool about the snowman. We thought of you when we took the Wombat butts picture!

Although it was fun to see the Blue Mountains again.<BR/>Great to see that you are all having such an incredible time. Thank you for blogging it. <BR/>And yes, Atlanta has snow. Alexander, Isabelle and I built a snowman in our back yard!<BR/>Can't wait to see you home and capture the excitement of the journey first hand, from Gillen and Jesse's perspective. <BR/><BR/>Wellness WombatWellnessWombathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12297103228070545699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17898647.post-61762179939074994322008-01-20T08:57:00.000-05:002008-01-20T08:57:00.000-05:00Yiddish proverb (w my poor translation): you can't...Yiddish proverb (w my poor translation): you can't dance at two weddings with one tush/butt/bum/you-get-the-point;-) So while you are swimming w dolphins and experiencing Charles Darwin moments, we get our snow (and maybe water...). The price (including juggling schedules, luggage, etc., as you say) of travel. Cheap! Your online journal is stupendous. Worthy of a physical book?<BR/><BR/>Steph and I were wondering, when are you coming home? Or is this the new home? Many thanks for the gift of your blogging (and we miss you). Funny how knowing someone is physically far away though we hardly see them feels weird and not good. My blog friend went to Dubai three weeks, and I missed him though he lives in Montreal and we have never met in real time.Tamar Orvellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14549414768121825308noreply@blogger.com
