Thank You...

Hello everyone!
 
I just wanted to send a quick update to let you all know that I really appreciate your comments.  I have my entire blog set up now so that I can post from my free email from SAS and receive all your comments through the same email.  Good thing SAS decided to give us those email addresses; otherwise I could see myself going through those 2 free hours before we get to Brazil! :-)  I have loved all the comments from my family, friends, and even those that I have never met.  I do appreciate them all.  They keep me wanting to write more and more.  The next few days will probably be a repetition of the past few days, so I won't bore you with "filler".  When we get to Brazil on September 7th-11th, I will be heading to Lencois up in the Diamond Highlands, a 6 hour bus ride from the heart of Salvador.  I'm going to "blog" the old fashioned way and write in my journal and then I will transcribe my handwriting on to my real blog.  I'm sure you will see a difference in both the length and the detail after my return back to the ship after Brazil.  I have a tendancy to write more elaborately after something exciting  :-)  Well, I do believe that is it for now...I don't know how many parents of other F08 students are reading my blog, but if you haven't heard from your kids, they're probably innondated with reading, documentary watching, club meetings, napping (a very important past time on the voyage I've learned), or just hanging out with friends.  No news is good news sometimes.  Alright, I'm signing off for now!
