Kerri,
ReplyDeleteYour proud father sent your blog to me and I too are very proud of you. I want to follow your journeys and adventures. I had no idea that your last trip to El Salvador was filled with such education, awareness, history and pain. I don't want you to go live there though because it sounds like a very dangerous place for you to be. Maybe we can help in some other way.
This next adventure to Europe will be extremely different than your last but I'm sure just as exciting. I look forward to your writings so add me to your list or whatever I have to do to get your blog's. This is my first one.I will miss you while you're gone. Be safe when traveling alone. Love you. Carolyn
Hey Chick,
ReplyDeleteKeep me posted as to your adventures. I love your sense of excitement and your appetite for learning. I look forward to seeing the world through your eyes and comparing with what I know, to what I can still learn. You are like a sponge, absorbing as much as possible through mere intrigue. It is that knowledge and what you do with it that makes you so special and unique. Always be curious, never stop asking questions, and travel when and where ever you can. BE SAFE... We'll miss you this summer, but keeping up with you through your blog will be exciting.
Love always, Aunt Michel
Hey Kerri,
ReplyDeleteI miss you already and you have only been gone for a few days. After reading your blog about el salvador, I wished I had talked to you about it more. You sound so knowledgeable and passionate about the things your are writing. I was captivated by your words. I think you should write a book! I also wish I would have kept a journal about the things I saw in Mexico. I will keep reading your blog and calling you. Have soo much fun. I cannot wait to meet you in Europe.
Love always,
Kelmo
