Hello family, friends, and followers,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The title of this last post may be a bit misleading so I apologize. I've been stuck on this post for a long time. Leanne picked out the pictures for this last post so I just didn't know what to do with it. After nearly eight months I've decided to not write it but just leave the pictures. It hurts too much to dive into what Leanne was thinking when she picked these photos. Obviously I remember being there and know what she was thinking but it's too difficult right now to do it.</div>

Everybody knows the terrible events that happened nearly six months ago and I'm sad to say that I can't shed any light on it in this post because Leanne was as happy as could be during this section of our trip. I had no indication of what was going to happen on the worst day of my life, January 17th, 2014. It will forever be a day that a huge piece of my soul died. I am two different people now. The person that was before that day and the person that I am now. A strange transformation happens when you lose the love of your life to death. You care about nothing and your "Give a shit" level drops to next to nothing. There's not a thing in this world that can affect me and I don't care what people say about the whole ordeal or what I do now.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When Leanne picked these pictures she was happy just like she always was. Leanne was not a depressed person, Leanne had depression. The difference in the two is as far apart as the people that can't recognize this. They might as well live on different planets. During the whirlwind of memorial services that Leanne had one group said that they don't want to remember Leanne as a depressed person. LEANNE WAS NOT A DEPRESSED PERSON, SHE HAD DEPRESSION. I remember the anger that this made me feel but I sucked it up. The danger in this type of thinking is that we learn nothing. The stigma of depression rolls on and nobody notices. This is the exact thinking that feeds the stigma and changes nothing. This type of poisonous thought is something that we all must change.</div>

Thanks for listening to my rant. I could have gone on and on but I want to get to the photos:</div>

Hello friends, family, and followers!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We last left off making a beeline out of Uyuni and heading straight towards Potosi. We actually debated hopping on a bus with Simone and Kathrin from the salt flat tour and jumping all the way to La Paz. As much as it would have been great to travel with them, we decided we wanted to take Spanish lessons for a week in Sucre so Potosi would be our next destination.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
As luck would have it a nice French couple was waiting to share a taxi to Potosi. The next bus wasn't headed there until 5:30 pm and it was only 1:00 pm. We hopped in and couldn't believe that in less than 30 minutes we were already on our way to our next destination. What's that old saying "Don't count your chickens before they hatch?" This was one of those chicken moments. Less than 30 minutes into the ride there were problems with the taxi so we had to turn around and head back to Uyuni. Not in the plans at all. On the bright side, we were able to get on that 5:30 bus bound for Potosi. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
After one slow bus ride, we practically picked up every local from every town along the way, we made it to Potosi just before 10:00 pm. We were exhausted and Leanne had been fighting an awful cold/flu for the past 4 days so our pillows were calling our names. </div>

<br />
After several hours of sleep under our belts, we started off the next morning with a shoe shine. Our shoes were covered in salt and we wanted to help out this sweet man. We kind of felt weird getting a shoe shine but we were supporting local small business.<br />

Potosi claims to be one of the highest cities in the world at 4,060 meters (13,420 feet). It was founded in 1545 as a mining town. The mountain still continues to be mined for silver but due to the slow economic decline the boom of the industry has lost its luster and with it the town's once sense of wealth.<br />
<br />
However, less tourists are drawn to this city so it does make you feel like you are experiencing a real part of Bolivia.<br />

There's nothing like a private tour to the top of a church. Thanks to a recommendation of a fellow traveler we were able to see the city from the top. This is a common occurrence in Potosi. Most of the churches have spectacular views from their rooftop terraces.<br />

While we didn't spend the money to actually go inside the Casa de la Moneda (Mint) we hung around the outskirts and took a few pictures. We were feeling especially cheap this day and it cost $10 each for a visit. We have to pick our sites wisely. That cold/flu had now started to make its way into Josh's system so we were both miserable and using anything we had just to get out of bed.<br />

The next day we made our way to Sucre for the next 8 or 9 days (We can't remember now how many exactly) to take Spanish classes and try to stay put in one place for a little while. We spent the first few days checking out the city and picking a school that we liked before starting classes on Monday.</div>

On Saturdays there is a local market about an hour-and-a-half away from Sucre. We were looking to get a few souvenirs and something for Josh's parents since they've been handling our affairs back home so we thought a local market would be a great place to find some unique Bolivian handicrafts. Before we went to the market we had to walk around the small streets of the town. It was absolutely unreal to see this way of life.</div>

When we got to the main square of the little town we found the most violent statue we've seen on our trip. It is a Quechua soldier ripping the heart out of a dead Spanish soldier and showing it to the world. We were surprised to find out that many of the people in this little village don't even speak Spanish they speak Quechua and only know a few words of Spanish.</div>

We stayed at a home stay during our week at the school. The house was owned by a doctor and it was enormous. The outside makes it look more appealing than the inside. Let's just say cleanliness wasn't the top priority of this family. </div>

Our hosts always had a smile on their faces. The doctor's wife (far right) tried to get us to eat more at each meal. Since we weren't feeling well, we explained that we weren't trying to be rude we were just sick. It was tough because the food was less than desirable so we were trying to muscle down as much as we could.<br />

We fumbled our way around with carrying conversations since they didn't speak English and we were learning Spanish. We ate breakfast and lunch together so we had some time to practice. The only negative aspect of the home stay was the other students that were staying at the house. There were 3 other students and none of them were remotely interested in talking to us. It was so weird that they would rather sit in silence during meal times than speak. It made for one awkward situation and by the end of the week we were ready to move out of the house. We had hoped for a better experience but you win some and lose some. At least the family was nice.<br />

Juan Carlos was a great teacher during our intensive week course. Our primary focus was learning tenses other than the simple present tense. We're not going to lie, it was overwhelming at times but we feel it improved our communication skills. We are a far cry from being able to carry a full conversation but we came away with a strong sense of knowledge and structure of the language. Let's just hope we keep up with studying and practicing along the way.<br />

It was "Dia de los Muertos" a.k.a Day of the Dead, or Halloween for those of us back home, while we were in Sucre.<br />
<br />
While a few families with children dressed up as we would for Halloween, the majority of the celebration takes place at the cemetery where families gather to celebrate deceased family members. <br />

Families visit the tombs of their deceased family members with a feast, which they prepare the night before. They spread out the feast in a form of a picnic, leaving room for the deceased family members as they wait for their "souls" to arrive. The tables are adorned with candles and photos of the family member. Many believe that the dead return to Earth to see if they are still being remember by their family and friends. It is a common belief that death is not separated from life.<br />

Juan Carlos told us to pay a visit to the cemetery to observe true Bolivian culture. He mentioned that it was best for us to visit during the day because many people start drinking heavily at night as part of the celebration. We heeded his advice and visited in the early afternoon.<br />

It was stimulation overload as we wondered around the cemetery taking in all of the sights and sounds.<br />

The "Baby Jesus" bus was packed and making rounds back and forth from the center of town to the cemetery. We decided it was best to leisurely walk while the streets of the town were deserted.<br />

We figured out that we spent 8 nights in Sucre. After feeling accomplished with Spanish lessons under our belt, we took an overnight bus to La Paz. We arrived in La Paz early in the morning and the place we booked didn't have our room ready yet so we had to walk around for several hours before we were able to check in. They were nice enough to hold our stuff for us while we killed time. Actually, every place we've ever stayed has been willing to do this for us except ONE. We will forever curse your name, Stay Express Hotel in Vilnius, Lithuania. Oh, you better believe we still remember. Anyway, enough of that. The good thing was that we actually slept pretty well on the bus so it wasn't too bad.<br />
On a side note, we usually roll into towns without reservations and just find a place. The exception to this is when we arrive on overnight buses. it is absolutely miserable trying to find a place when you're so tired and just want to take a shower and a nap. 80% of the time you can check in when you get there and it's much higher than 80% when they have rooms open. Why don't they do this in the states? If you pull into a hotel and you have open rooms let the people check in!<br />
<br />
The streets were lovely as was the San Francisco church.<br />

La Paz is unreal when you're arriving by bus. The entire city is built in a valley and when you drop down into it on the bus ride in it is a very impressive sight to see. We picked a hill with a viewpoint and made our way to the top to try and recapture the bus ride in. We weren't the only ones with this idea.</div>

Our main reason for stopping in La Paz was to take a bike ride on El Camino del Muerte. This is the world famous "Death Road". It is largely a single lane with no guardrails and cliffs up to 600 meters (almost 2,000 feet!). According to Wikipedia:<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The danger of the road ironically made it a popular tourist destination starting in the 1990s, drawing some 25,000 <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenaline_junkie" style="background-image: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Adrenaline junkie">thrillseekers</a>. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_biking" style="background-image: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Mountain biking">Mountain biking</a> enthusiasts in particular have made it a favourite destination for downhill biking since there is a 64-kilometre (40 mi) stretch of continuous downhill riding with only one short uphill section. There are now many tour operators catering to this activity, providing information, guides, transport, and equipment.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Nevertheless, the Yungas Road remains dangerous. At least 18 cyclists have died on the ride since 1998.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
No need to worry though. The road was closed a few years back so there are no vehicles on the road except for the occasional tourist riding in a jeep. Also, we weren't allowed to take pictures. The last person to die on Death Road was a Japanese tourist who was trying to take pictures while riding. Apparently, she wasn't paying attention and rode right off a cliff. Our group had a guide who took all the pictures for us.</div>

As you read above it was almost all downhill so we were ready for a nice long downhill bike ride.</div>

Two big portions and a large beer for under $5. Yum! The best part about it was that we gambled and won. We didn't get food poisoning. That makes it an even better deal.<br />

The next day we made our way to the island of Isla del Sol for a day hike around the island. While we would have loved to spend a night on the island, we were starting to run out of time and had to pick our destinations wisely. The day hike seemed like a good solution. Isla del Sol is a 2-hour boat ride from Copacabana and the largest island on Lake Titicaca.<br />

Inca legend says that Viracocha, the bearded god that created the universe, emerged from the waters of Lake Titicaca and created the sun at this location. Legend or not, the sun was out and the views were breathtaking.<br />

A few of the towns along the way required a small admission fee to continue on the trail. While we understood and gladly paid our dues, several tourists put up a huge stink over the $2 fee. Josh was angered by this and told them his thoughts about them putting up a fight about paying. They wound up paying the fee and moving on.<br />

Hello friends, family, and followers!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When we last left off we were in Valparaiso and were heading out on a bus to San Pedro de Atacama. We have grown very accustom to long bus rides throughout our world travels. Quite often we welcome the journey as a time of reflection. It's the perfect time to recap all the highs and lows that we have experienced and try to determine what it is about us that inspires such wanderlust. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This brings us to our most recent bus encounter. We confirmed that it was going to be a 12-hour bus ride with five different people so we boarded the bus with a bottle of water and couple of apples for our overnight jaunt. The next morning we woke up and thought we had a couple of hours to go, no problem. We pulled into a stop around 10:30 am and Leanne asked if we were in San Pedro. With a smirk the guy responded no we were in some town that we had never heard of. We thought to ourselves "I wonder why he was smirking?" The next thing we knew the attendant was popping in another movie. We had no idea what was going on but realized that we must have a little farther than 12 hours. We then asked the attendant when we would be arriving in San Pedro. He responded "11:30." We could handle that. He then reiterated "11:30 at night." Apparently, everyone confuses am and pm at the Valparaiso bus station. They say 12 hours but really mean 24 hours. Suddenly, we started to panic. We only had about 5 sips of water left, we ate our apples for breakfast, and the bus had not made a stop since we had boarded. On top of that, our hostel had a strict policy that we must notify them if we were checking in after 8:00 pm. This is Josh's look of concern after finding out that we had 13 more hours to go. </div>

Leanne quickly went into planning mode. If there was ever a time to use her knowledge of Spanish, this was it. We noticed the lady next to us was using her phone. Leanne asked if we could borrow her phone to call our hostel. We told her we would give her money for the minutes. Too bad we didn't notice she was nursing her baby at the time. However, nursing babies in other countries is a common occurrence. She didn't think twice about it and whipped out her phone for us to use and refused to take any money. Of course, the number on our booking was wrong. What do we do now? The sweet mother of two told us "No problemo." She used Facebook to ask her husband to look up the phone number for us. Ahhh…the world of Facebook never ceases to amaze us. She was able to get us the number and Leanne called the hostel and squared away that we would be arriving after midnight. We were feeling quite accomplished that neither one of us lost our cool in what could have been a stressful moment. On top of it all, the mother and her little boy gave us a pack of their cookies to make sure we had food for the remainder of our trip. It's times like this that you realize just how kind strangers can be and what an unbelievably spectacular world we live in. We are definitely looking forward to the opportunity to pay it forward. A great big thank you so much to that kind mother and her sweet children.<br />

For 13 hours we were able to check out amazing scenes like this.<br />

We actually wound up pulling into town at midnight. What better time to began our search for our hostel? We wandered the streets of the dusty town of San Pedro for about 20 minutes until we finally realized we were walking in the wrong direction. At the start of our trip we both considered ourselves to have a strong sense of direction. We have come to realize that was completely incorrect and that most of the time we are directionally challenged. I guess trying out for Amazing Race is not something in our future.<br />

San Pedro is a dusty, desert town that is ridiculously over-priced because it is in the middle of nowhere. Basically the town is set up for tourism so with that comes a hefty price tag. What it lacks in budget it makes up in its beauty.<br />

The Church of San Pedro is national monument built with adobe, a building material used in colonial times.<br />

We took a tour to the Valley of the Moon. Leanne quickly grabbed her boots and headed out the door for the tour not realizing that we would be hiking a few short treks in the desert. That's right folks, Leanne was that high maintenance looking chic on the tour with her cowboy boots. <br />

San Pedro is one of the most arid spots in the world. As a matter of fact, NASA conducted tests on the new martian rover Nomad here in 1997.<br />
<br />
You couldn't help but experience a little jaw dropping when taking in the scenery.<br />

With every sunrise comes a sunset to signify the ending of another day in history, another moment in our lives and another day well spent. We have been fortunate enough to witness some of the most beautiful sunsets you could ever see and this was no exception.<br />

We committed a travel no, no the day before and forgot to wear sunscreen. We were scorched. Talk about premature aging. By the time our 22 months on the road is complete, we will be lucky to walk away without permanent skin damage and looking about 10 years older. <br />

We made the 14-mile ride back into town to grab something cold to drink before making our way to the sand dunes.<br />

This was exactly how we felt. The desert climate and relentless sun beating down really takes it out of you. We thought about curling up next to this cozy looking man but that might have come off weird to his buddies that were making fun of him and taking pictures right alongside Leanne.<br />

The next day we were heading out to Bolivia to do the salt flat tour. The Uyuni Salt Flats are the largest salt flats in the world and always a popular tourist destination. This is mainly because of the photo opportunities that arise on the tour. We had heard nightmare stories about crossing into Bolivia. This is mainly for Americans. The stories include showing bank statements, yellow fever shots, your entire itinerary for your stay, proof of exit of the country (i.e. plane ticket out), dollar bills that just came off the printing press for the $135 visa fee, etc. We heard them all and were really worried about getting into Bolivia. Here's the spoiler…it was one of the easiest countries we've entered. All they want is your dollars. That's it. Nothing special, just bring U.S. dollars. Ours weren't even perfect and nobody cared. The border patrol was going to let us go through and get our visa in Uyuni but we insisted on getting it at the border so we wouldn't have to mess around with it later. They asked us if we had dollars and we said "Yes". As soon as they heard that it was to the front of line. We had a few left over Chilean Pesos and the guards even changed that for us. It was the first time we changed money with the actual immigration officers at the border. Interesting but kind of funny in retrospect. We were off!</div>

While this made for brilliant pictures, it was actually quite scary to be that close to a geyser. You could feel the heat radiating from the pale grey crack in the earth's surface. Every few minutes a cloud of steam would project from deep below, warming our faces and invading our noses with the smell of sulphur.<br />

Scary or not we had to get creative with the photo opportunities that were presented right before us on a photographic plater.<br />

Laguna Colorada was our favorite lagoon. Was it because of the clear blue skies interspersed with a few white billowy clouds and the striking red hue of the water or was it because Colorada sounds similar to Colorado? We will never tell. The red color was a result of a large amount of red algae in the water. Pretty magnificent, huh?<br />

A huge factor on having a good tour versus a bad tour are the fellow guests in your tour group. We couldn't have asked for a better group of ladies. We laughed, we joked, we exchanged travel stories and came away with four new friends. <br />

Maria and Matie from Spain<br />
Simone and Kathrin from Switzerland<br />

After a full day of crossing borders, viewing breathtaking scenery, and maneuvering our way up to almost 16,500 feet in elevation, it was time to settle in at our hostel. We were told we would all be sharing a dorm room which was fine by us. When we arrived, they actually gave us a private room which was a nice touch. While Leanne was looking forward to a slumber party with the girls, we couldn't be rude and turn down the private room. We have learned that if a tour operator under promises and over delivers, it makes for a much better experience. <br />

We bought a few items from the local market to stimulate the economy. For the most part, Bolivians do not like to take pictures. It is important to ask for permission before taking a photo. We understand that because it would be strange if someone came up to you out of the blue while you were walking around in your hometown and wanted to take your picture. Also, it is known that many indigenous people in South America believe that cameras capture their souls and that you are stealing them when you take a picture. They fear the day that they will die soulless. We respected the culture and asked for permission to take a photo with this lady. She agreed to it but wouldn't look at the camera. We understand that it is a cultural thing but it so hard to not want to snap pictures of them in their traditional clothing and hats. </div>

The standard dress code of an Amaya woman is a long silky shirt with layers of puffy petticoats, handmade shawls, neatly braided waist length hair and a bowler hat to complete the look. The unique fashion of incorporating a bowler hat is a curious nod to 19th century British fashion. </div>

Leanne looked like the typical tourist in her zippy pants and silly hat standing next to the beautiful adorned Bolivian woman. That's one of the downfalls of traveling for so long. Our clothing options are becoming more and more limited with each day that passes. </div>

We were told to prepare for a frigid night of sleep on our first night of the tour. It was cold but not nearly as cold as people had said it would be. Maybe we got lucky because our hostel was newer and better built than others in the area? After an early night of lights out at 9:30 pm, we journeyed on through the land of cobalt blue sky and dusty roads.<br />

Can you guess the name of this rock? Someone was really using their creative juices when they named it The Stone Tree.<br />

The negative comment we will make about our tour guide is that he didn't even offer us the opportunity to capture sunrise the following morning. He wanted to sleep in while the other group headed out the door at 4:00 am for sunrise on the salt flat. We accepted our 7:00 am start after the sun had risen and were all smiles during the ride. You can't do everything and for us that meant no sunrise start. Oh well, we did welcome the additional sleep.<br />

First on the agenda was a visit to Cactus Island. Cactus Island is an unbelievable island of cacti in the middle of the salt flats. It cost a little extra but it was absolutely worth the small fee. The pictures speak for themselves.<br />

When we arrived in Uyuni we stopped at the antique train cemetery. In the 1940s, the mining industry collapsed and many trains were abandoned thereby creating the train cemetery. It reminded Josh of one of Stephen King's Dark Tower books. </div>

Within a blink of an eye, our journey to the place where heaven and earth merge into one was complete. From mountains to salt, we were moved by the beauty of the world's largest salt flat and the unbelievable surrounding landscapes.<br />
<br />
We decided to leave the town of Uyuni right away since it really didn't have anything to offer besides overpriced hostels and dusty roads.<br />
<br />
Next stop, Potosi, Bolivia!<br />
<br />
As always, thanks for following.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
Leanne & Josh<br />

Hello friends, family, and followers!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When we last left off we were in Northern Patagonia and heading out to wine country in Northern Argentina.</div>

One major thing we didn't discuss in the last blog was the exchange rate in Argentina. We didn't really want to get into it but now would be a good time. When you first arrive to Argentina there is a big sticker shock. Everything seems to be so expensive on the surface. Oh, but that is on the surface. There are two exchange rates in Argentina. The official exchange rate and the "Black market" exchange rate. Inflation is so out of control in Argentina that the official exchange rate at the time we got there was 5.7 pesos to the dollar and the black market exchange rate was 9.3 to the dollar. We only had a limited amount of dollars but we cashed in everything we had. All of a sudden everything was 40% cheaper. This was a game changer! We searched everywhere for dollars but obviously couldn't find them. Hence, the black market rate. We were able to find a website that we could wire dollars and we would then pick up the black market exchange rate in pesos (compliments to our friend, Monica, for the advice). If you're in Argentina check out xoom.com. It only works for American bank accounts but we've heard that other countries have there version of this service. All of a sudden we had massive buying power and were ready to go! We picked an amount that we thought would do and pulled into Mendoza looking to pick up our money. Guess what? It was closed for no reason! We were told they would be open the next day so we made what little we we had work until the next day. FYI, this happens A LOT in Argentina. They just decide to close for no reason. Maybe they have a party they want to attend or just don't feel like working so they close for the day. Hmmm…maybe this is part of the reason the economy is struggling. No order whatsoever and very short work days. How do we move there? Once we got our money we realized very quickly that we weren't going to be able to spend it quickly enough so we were forced to stay for two more days to spend our money (a nice problem to have). The reason for this? You can't sell Argentine pesos outside of the country. Nobody will buy it because of the inflation issue. This causes all sorts of interesting problems. If you read through all of this and would like more info send us an email and we'll try to clarify it more for more.</div>

The buses in Argentina are pretty nice. They have a waiter that gives you meals, drinks, plays movies constantly, and even calls out numbers for Bingo during the bus ride. The prize for winning is a bottle of wine, of course.</div>

After the 25-hour bus ride we settled into our home for the next eight days. It was a pretty nice one-bedroom apartment with a kitchen, including a microwave!! We spent a lot of time cooking and feeling normal again.</div>

The main reason we visited Mendoza was to visit some vineyards and experience some of our favorite wines. At home we usually drink South American wines because they are decent and have a good price. Our favorites are Malbecs and Malbec/Cabernet blends in red and Torrontes in white. Great affordable wines and we couldn't wait to get to the bodegas where they were made. We spent a couple of days biking around the small town of Maipu getting our fill of the ol' vino.</div>

We do have a story from this day. Leave it up to us to find action on a deserted Sunday afternoon. People always ask us if we have ever felt in danger during our trip. So far, we have been fortunate to say that nothing too bad has really happened. However, on this quiet Sunday morning we did experience our first encounter of what could have been a dangerous situation. We were sitting outside of a small restaurant when we heard a man screaming and chasing after another man that was running ahead. Apparently, the man running had stolen something from the other man. Right before our eyes, the man chasing the thief pulls out a gun and starts firing. He was shooting the gun about 20 yards away from us without even looking where he was shooting! We've never witness someone shooting a gun and we were rattled. That's not something you want to witness. We ran into a building to take cover. The thief got away and no one was hurt. Our hands were shaking and we considered ourselves lucky. We got out of there quickly before anything else happened. Thankfully nothing tragic came of it and we shook it off.<br />
<br />
We decided that the best thing to do was to try not to dwell on what happened and consider it an isolated incident. We can't spend the remainder of the trip constantly worrying what might happen. We are taking good care of each other and are always on alert for what's around us. <br />

She forgot to mention the part about it being a 15-minute walk down the road and that the stairs were on the right side of the street. Luckily, we have had our fair share of getting lost and finding our way on this trip. We managed to make our way to the bus stop and caught the next bus into town.<br />

After a few other stops, it was time to call it a day. We wound up going back to our favorite little cheap bodega and shared one last bottle of wine before making our way back to Mendoza. <br />
<br />
We truly enjoyed the beauty of the dusty roads with an incredible backdrop of the Andes and wineries. Mendoza offers a unique wine tasting experience that we will forever cherish in our memories. Between the good wine and tasty meat, we are fairly certain we gained several pounds in Argentina. <br />

Leanne tried to blend in with the crowd with her random outfit. Our clothes are starting to fall apart and unravel before our eyes. Since we are so close to the finish line, we refuse to buy anything new. That means Leanne must get creative with her wardrobe.<br />

We were especially excited this morning because Josh read about a famous local restaurant for breakfast and coffee. Yes, a big breakfast and a real cup of coffee? Oh wait, it was just some toast with a smashed avocado on top and a big cup of weak coffee for way too much money. Total disappointment.<br />

The good thing about Santiago was the cheap avocados. We got our fill of avocados. We spent a few hours hanging out in several markets simply checking out the sights, sounds and smells.<br />

We tried to go to one of the most famous bars in Santiago one night but there was a huge bar fight going on and several people getting arrested so we decided to move along and come back the next afternoon when it would be more tame and we could check out the decor. The mural in the front of the building was worth the trip alone.</div>

The famous cocktail in Santiago is called the terremoto (earthquake) which is sweet fermented wine, pineapple ice-cream and fernet. Sounds tame, huh? One of those things will make your head spin! Josh passed on it and had a local punch called chicha but got one for his second. It was no joke and the patrons could attest to that as they were all obliterated. We could only handle a few sips of the one terremoto that we bought. </div>

We stumbled across this poster of what Chile deems as a "tourist". Josh is missing the hat, trendy camera case, and basically the whole look. Is that a yoga mat?<br />

After Santiago we headed west to Valparaiso. More than any place on our entire trip Valparaiso was sensory overload. Every inch of the town is covered with street art. They were having problems with graffiti so the town started allowing local artists to cover their buildings with street art. The result is a working piece of art and it is unbelievable. Valparaiso is full of talented artists. </div>

Before heading out on our night bus to San Pedro, we stopped by a local restaurant to catch the match between Chile and Ecuador. Everyone in the place was glued to the television and frantically cheering for their team. It was exciting just to witness their passion for the sport and their team. We are happy to report that Chile won!<br />

Hello friends, family, and followers!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We are WAY behind on our blog. Quality internet access in South America has been more difficult than we expected. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When we last left off we were leaving Lisbon and heading to South America. We left early in the morning and were excited to be visiting our final continent before heading back home. We were off! Not so fast!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We had a 10-hour layover in Rome before heading to Buenos Aires so we took a bus into the center of town and spent the day sight seeing. Both of us have been to Rome before so we decided the best thing to do would be to follow a walking tour app that we downloaded from TripAdvisor and see the popular sights.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of our biggest pet peeves while traveling is tourists who complain to other tourists about how touristy places are but we're going to break that rule for just a second. We forgot how many tourists are in Rome. Wow! They were everywhere, we even saw that guy from The Food Network and the Applebee's commercials. What's his name? Guy Ferrari or Fedora or something like that eating lunch at a sidewalk cafe. We guess it's just part of being in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. When in Rome.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Among the many sites we visited were Trevi Fountain.</div>

There were so many people that we couldn't get a photo of the two of us. You are supposed to throw a coin over one of you're shoulders into the fountain and this means you'll return someday. We couldn't remember which shoulder it was so we did both to be safe.</div>

Leanne was beyond thrilled! The jumping on the bed occurred after taking a long shower so those are clean feet on the sheets. Too bad Leanne suffered from severe jet lag and couldn't sleep more than a few hours during the two nights we stayed at the fancy hotel. It was still some of the most comfortable and clean lying in a bed we have done in almost a year.<br />

Tango lessons are quite popular in BA. Leanne desperately tried to get Josh to take a lesson but he stuck to his non-dancing rule. The man hates dancing and there's nothing that will change his mind about it. That was a little bit of a bummer for Leanne but this non-dancing rule was clearly established during the dating days so there were no surprises when he wouldn't partake in tango lessons.<br />

One day we did our own food walking tour of the city. Josh was the tour guide and he was aided by a TripAdvisor walking tour on his itouch. One of the stops was Cafe Tortoni, a famous coffeehouse frequently visited by many renowned people including politicians, popular idols and international figures. While we do not fit into any of those categories, we still enjoyed drinking our over priced coffees and not so delicious cake. <br />

BA has some really nice malls so we popped into a few of them to hit up the food courts. The food courts are pretty amazing in that they have fast food steakhouses called "parrillas." We ate at these places several times during our 9 days in BA. On this particular day it was pouring rain so we had to waste some time inside while we waited for the storm to pass. We got artsy with this picture that we took of ourselves in the mirror.</div>

We found out after being in BA that one of Josh's friends from Denver, Monica, had relocated to BA and we were able to meet up for dinner. This was such a great pleasure and we were so lucky to have met up with her. She picked up the tab so officially we owe her. Monica, the next time you're in Denver you have a place to stay and/or dinner/drinks/breakfast/lunch or any other slashes are on us! Thanks again!! Keep on rockin' the free world.</div>

We made another visit to La Boca since we didn't spend much time there the first time around. Also,<br />
we wanted to snap a few more pictures.<br />

OK, we spent next to nothing on our room but that didn't stop us from sampling varieties of Argentina's finest Malbecs in the comfort of our dumpy room. Disclaimer: These bottles were consumed over the course of a week. <br />

The night of our actual anniversary was spent on a 20-hour bus ride to a town called Puerto Madryn. Doesn't that just scream Happy Anniversary? We did bring a bottle of wine on the bus to celebrate and help pass the time.<br />

Puerto Madryn, a town in Patagonia, is known for whale watching and that is exactly what we had in mind. Hats and gloves on a beach? YES!!! It was so cold! We mean bone chilling, we were still cold even when we got back to the room with the heater on full blast...COLD!<br />

Argentine's eat dinner really, really late. Restaurants don't start setting up for dinner until 9 pm and the crowds start filing in around 10:30 pm. For us early eating Americans, that's late! We went out for our anniversary dinner at a nicer restaurant. We waited until 8:30 pm but that was as late as we could make it after that long bus ride. Spoiler alert: The dinner was disgusting and expensive. This anniversary might not have been filled with exciting events or tummy loving food but at least we had each other and a wonderful life on the road and that was plenty to raise a glass and cheers to.<br />

We were so incredibly lucky to capture these moments of whale watching. There were several whales splashing around mere feet from the beach. Within 30 minutes a rain storm blew in and the whales seemed to fade away like the sunset on the horizon.<br />

Whale watching? Check! We got a little crazy with the selfy pics as a result of the sheer ecstatic feeling that was coursing through our body. Well, maybe it was more of a result of freezing our buns off.<br />

The following day we went on a tour. The tours in Argentina are also a crash course for Spanish. We wanted to fine tune our Spanish and Argentina is a great place as English speakers are few and far between. We also wanted to get up close and personal with the Southern Right Whales. While we are not the biggest fans of tours, it was a must in order to see the whales from a boat. Our first stop was a disappointment because no whales were around to greet us.<br />

It was a quaint and personal boat trip. Not. So. Much. We settled in with 50 of our newest friends. They packed us in like sardines in a tiny tin can on the boat which was more like a large raft. We all looked ridiculous by the way.<br />

Every time a whale was spotted near the boat, all 50 people on the boat would rush over to that side of the boat errr…raft, nearly tipping it over. It wasn't the most well orchestrated tour and safety wasn't much of a concern either but it was all worth it in our books. <br />

The whales swam right up to us and playfully bobbed in the water. They were so close you could see the spots on their skin known as "whale lice". That's a pretty disgusting term but nonetheless it didn't take away from their beauty. Whales are unbelievably massive creatures. It was hard to capture pictures that weren't blurry due to the swaying from the crowds darting left and right and every which way.<br />

After a successful hour on the rocking ocean tracking down whales, we headed down the coast for a few more stops. A big pat on the back for Leanne. She no longer throws up when on a boat. Yay! She's officially earned her sea legs badge on this trip.<br />
<br />
During the drive, we saw these little guys. We can't remember the name of this animal but they resembled a cross between a rabbit and a wallaby. Maybe it's the elusive jackalope!<br />

That's one lucky male seal. He has all of those lady seals to himself. He did fend off several other males that were trying to get in on the action.<br />

Dear Family, Friends and Followers,<br />
<br />
When we loosely planned our trip while we were still stateside (we say loosely because we clearly haven't had much direction during our travels), we thought we would just skip right over Western Europe. For us Americans, that Euro can be quite expensive. Also, Josh lived in Germany for two years and had traveled extensively throughout Western Europe while Leanne did a bit of backpacking after college and some work related trips to Western Europe. We felt like we could save some money by skipping over it and planned to visit later when we get back to reality and have "real jobs" again. Well, that plan of not visiting Western Europe went right out the window when we met some of the most amazing friends while traveling around the world. One of the main components of traveling is meeting people that change your life. We certainly are not lacking in this part of the trip.<br />
<br />
After hours of research during our Eastern European adventure, we actually discovered that is was cheaper for us to fly to Buenos Aires via Portugal. Well I'll be a monkey's uncle! With that news, we rearranged what plans we didn't previously have and were able to map out a two-week jaunt to visit friends in London, Ireland and Portugal before making our way to South America. The unfortunate part was that we weren't able to visit The Netherlands and Paris to visit other friends we have met along the way. We will definitely make our way there in the near future to visit you guys!<br />
<br />
First stop on our whirlwind tour: London<br />
<br />
This was actually Leanne's first visit to London and she was beyond excited. Josh, on the other hand, has been to London several times but he was a travel trooper for Leanne's sake.<br />
<br />
We met Rut(h) (she's Spanish so it's pronounce "Ruth" but spelled Rut) while we were traveling in Cambodia. We kept in touch over the past year and planned to meet up with her in London. She is such a beautiful person both on the inside and outside. While Rut didn't have room for us to stay at her apartment her friend, Giulia was kind enough to let us stay with her for four nights. Giulia's partner, Andy, was working in Indonesia so she said she could use the company. Also, she and Andy are heading out on a three-month Southeast Asia adventure at the end of October (lucky them) so in exchange for letting us stay she wanted some travel tips. That sounds like one of the best deals we have ever come across! <br />
<br />
Giulia's apartment was beautiful and in a very artsy district of Stoke Newington.<br />

Rut, Giulia, and us! Three beautiful ladies and and this ugly mug. Josh was lucky tonight!! Rut and Giulia showed us around their neighborhood and took us to one of their favorite pubs. We can't thank you both enough for showing us such a fabulous time in London. We took this picture with our selfie stick. Rut had been subjected to this in Cambodia. However, this was Giulia's first experience with the selfie stick and she was quite embarrassed when we pulled it out at their local pub. Sorry about that, Giulia. Thanks for being such a great sport. </div>

During the days we visited the most touristy spots in London and Josh went along with Leanne like a champ. To be fair, she stopped off and sat with him while he had a beer every now and then so it was good deal for both.</div>

Our daily transportation. A little side note. If you end up in London buy an "Oyster" card at any off-license or bus station. It cuts the cost down significantly. Also, if you can learn the bus system instead of the underground (the tube) it can also save you a lot of money as buses are cheap and the tube is definitely not.</div>

While we were walking along the front of Westminster Abbey Josh was reminiscing with Leanne about one of the times he went to London with his parents and Nelson Mandela was visiting. They waited for hours to catch a glimpse of him and it was something that none of them have ever forgotten. Just as he finished his story we looked across the street and there was a statue of him right there! The statue was definitely not there those many years ago. Exciting? Meh, probably not but the timing was so funny to us that we'll remember it forever. Maybe it was one of those "You had to be there" type things.</div>

The royal cars were brought out for the day for a photo shoot so we were able to peak through the fence and snap some pictures. Man, just one of these cars could fund our trips for years to come. Do you think they would miss just one?</div>

We were blessed yet again to meet up with another one of our friends that we met while traveling. You remember Fiona, right? We met on the train ride to Zambia. Leanne and Fiona were cabin mates on the train and we all quickly became buddies. Our timing in London was perfect because we were able to hang out for a night on the town before Fiona headed off to Malawi for a week. Yep, she had only returned from her African travels a month prior but she was already heading back to Malawi. Africa seems to have that effect on people. It just keeps drawing you in. However, Fiona was heading there for a work trip this time. She is a pharmacist and works on volunteer missions in Africa every year. A great big pat on the back to you, friend! </div>

We can't remember the names of the guys in this picture. Yes, that's bad. We are both former (soon to be again, maybe) sales reps so we should remember the names of people when we meet them. Fiona met the guy on the far left in Africa and the other guy is his bud. Cheers, mate!<br />

There's the world-famous Rosetta Stone. To say it drew a crowd is an understatement. We couldn't really capture a picture of it because we weren't in the mood to throw elbows or get pushy. Instead, we just took silly pictures of Leanne photo bombing other people's pictures. </div>

We were out until 4:00 in the morning but had to drag ourselves out of bed at 7:00 to make our flight to Dublin. Josh was still drunk and barely remembers the flight so we took a picture of the wing so we could remember. We probably didn't think that one through very well but the pain the next morning was well worth the sacrifice of having a fantastic night. It was Leanne's 33rd birthday and she was one lucky girl; celebrating in both London and Dublin. </div>

When we arrived in Dublin we went through a very easy passport control, grabbed our bags, and walked out to the terminal. For the first time in nearly two years we had somebody waiting for us when we walked out. Waiting for us! It felt so special; like coming home to family. Actually the entire trip to Ireland was like being with family. We stayed with David and Antoinette. We met them in Varkala, India. They were our neighbors for one night and then we spent hours talking to them on the beach the next day. They moved places to save around 50 cents (big money in India) so we went ahead and followed them. If you want to read more it's on the Southern India blog from January 2013.</div>

Antoinette had her family over for dinner and we spent time talking, eating, and enjoying each others company. It felt so good to be around such a wonderful family. We owe David, Antoinette and her entire family more than just a thank you. They made us feel like part of a family, something we have only encountered a few times on our trip. We can only hope that you will make it out to Denver so we can return the favor!</div>

We met Fiona and Neil in Thailand and then again in India. Neil came up with one of our favorite quotes of the trip. He said our trip around the world meant that we were "Human being rather than human doing." We remind ourselves of this phrase quite often and we challenge you to do the same. When they pulled up in their car to pick us up, it felt so surreal. Fiona just kept saying "I can't believe you are here." We couldn't believe it ourselves! </div>

After grabbing some of the best chicken wings in Dublin (they wanted to make us feel at home) followed by ice cream made from Ireland's Kerry cows (yeah, we are going to gain weight this portion of the trip) we made our way to see The Book of Kells.

We arrived at Fiona's house and were able to lay eyes on Neil's fancy little Mini Cooper. It was voted as one of the best classic Mini Coopers in the UK a few years ago.<br />

Fiona and Neil took us on a hike near Fiona's house. We passed by The Blue Light, a famous Irish pub. It is the quintessential Irish pub and very well known throughout Ireland. The drummer from U2 actually went there the day after he got married the week prior. We would stop there on the way back.<br />

A great big Guinness cheers to our wonderful Irish friends. We ate great food, drank some great pints, saw some incredible landscapes but most importantly, felt at home with you and your families. We are grateful to call you our friends and can't wait to see you in Colorado or in Ireland again. As the Irish would say "We had a grand time!"</div>

Our next stop on our whirlwind friend tour was Portugal. We had four days in Lisbon before our flight left for Buenos Aires. Our friends, Micky and Rodrigo, were kind enough to let us stay with them in their apartment during our time in Lisbon. Rodrigo came to the airport to pick us up when we landed. Wow, two pick-ups at the airport in less than a week! His smiling face was the perfect welcome to Portugal. <br />
<br />
To top it all off, their apartment was just steps away from all of the action.<br />

We met Micky and Rodrigo a year ago outside of an ATM in Laos. Who would have thought you could make friends outside of an ATM machine? A year later, there are three members of their family. Micky actually came back from their Southeast Asia vacation with news that she was pregnant. Meet Mimi. She was born in June and is so precious. </div>

Rodrigo had to work for the afternoon so Micky and Mimi joined us on an afternoon stroll of the town. Josh insisted on pushing the stroller. He said "I haven't pushed a stroller on this trip yet." He wasn't ashamed to admit that he enjoyed it. Someone's clock is ticking! <br />

When Rodrigo got off of work he took us to the beach for a couple of hours. In one day we went from jackets and scarves to bathing suits. It felt good to dip our toes in the sand and ocean. Josh and Rodrigo kicked the ball around with this future pro.<br />

During our visit, Leanne was able to partake in a ladies night out with Micky and her friends. It was Vogue Fashion's Night Out. It was low key fashion which was a relief for Leanne because she doesn't have any fancy outfits. Micky was a true girlfriend and let Leanne borrow an outfit for the night.<br />

Hello Friends, Family, and Followers!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When we last left off we were headed on a flight from Kiev, Ukraine to Vilnius, Lithuania, the capital of the country. We left first thing in the morning and made sure we had secured a cab the night before so we wouldn't have a repeat of Lviv (See last entry). The flight was hilarious and painful at the same time. Imagine taking a flight with no reserved seats, no line, or no order of boarding the plane. The airline was called Wizz Air (yeah, odd name) and it was a free-for-all. Luckily, we have become far too good at flexing our muscles in these types of situations so we sat next to each other. How are we going to make it back home? People are going to hate us!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the first time in quite a while we had a plan. We needed to be in Tallinn, Estonia in 12 days to take a ferry to Helsinki, Finland. We had heard from everyone that we spoke to how expensive Helsinki was so we only slated three days to visit then we were headed to London to visit friends...but that's for the next blog!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If we had gone by land this journey would have taken us 4 days at least but we knocked it out in an hour and forty-minute flight. We hadn't flown in three and half months so this seemed amazing to us at the time. Now we realize that it was just a flight so stop being so dramatic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After standing in front of the bus stop for what seemed like an eternity trying to mime our way through asking bus driver after bus driver if their bus headed to the city center, we abandoned the bus option and opted for the train. At least we could read the sign that said "city center" at the train station. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We arrived at our hotel at 7:00 am, half asleep and ready to curl up in a bed. Oh wait, we were staying in a budget hotel that charged $10 extra to check in before 2:00 pm and $5 to store our bags. It's times like these that it's difficult to be a traveler on a budget. For us, $15 meant dipping into our daily budget which was not an option at this point since Eastern Europe has been tugging at our wallets a bit more over the past few months. Instead, we opted to lug our bags around town, wandering aimlessly through the streets of Vilnius like zombies. See, there are not so glamorous parts to traveling around the world. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Despite the dreary weather, the town set the stage for some great photo opportunities. </div>

We arrived back at the hotel at 2:00 pm sharp. Those 7 hours might have been some of the toughest 7 hours of our trip. We were on the brink of losing our cool with each other several times because we were so tired. After a two hour nap, we were back to greeting each other and the world with a smile.<br />
<br />
One of the places we visited was the KGB museum. Obviously, the museum was about the influence of the KGB on Lithuania. Once again it was a terrible history but yet, once again, we found ourselves there. What's wrong with us? We need to start visiting happier places. One positive is that it made for some fun pictures. Leeeeeeaaaaannnnneeee...I see you. Woah, it's actually a little spooky.<br />

When visiting Vilnius, Trakai Island is an unbelievable opportunity to see one of the best Northern European castles in existence. Is it touristy? Yes, of course, but if we avoided every touristy place in the world we would have missed a lot of what makes this world such a wonderful place. We spent the whole day here taking pictures and enjoying the marvel of the castle.</div>

We spent three days and three nights in Vilnius but figured it was time to move along. We decided to check out the Western coast of Lithuania to see if we could get some beach time in. Also, it was about 600 yards away from Russia so maybe we could sneak in? (Spoiler: No we couldn't. Actually sneaking into Russia sounds like a terrible idea.)</div>

Nida is a beach town so of course we wanted to dip our toes in the sand and the ocean. The strange part was it took us almost an hour to find the darn beach. After much anticipation of the lapping ocean ahead, we stumbled upon these confusing and shocking signs. Which direction do you go to find people actually wearing swimming attire and not their birthday suits? What, there's an area for nude families. What is this place???<br />

After we flipped a coin we decided to head straight since there wasn't a sign indicating what people would be wearing that direction. Turns out, we chose incorrectly. The beach was littered with old men that we wished were wearing budgie smugglers. Unfortunately, these budgies were set free. We did manage to capture a picture sans budgies of any sort. </div>

At the end of every nude beach experience is a silver lining. Why hello beautiful double rainbow.<br />
<br />
Also of note, we saw a midget standing strategically at the end of the rainbow. We have a picture but decided not to post it to be "politically correct".<br />

Don't mind if we do! We joined the locals by getting our hands dirty and eating their cuisine. Josh wound up eating most of Leanne's portion because she was scared of the texture not to mentioned its angry facial expression. Is that even possible for a fish to have facial expressions?<br />

The next day we braved the wind and laid out on the beach for a few hours. It's not everyday that you get to wear pants over your bathing suit. We got a small dose of Vitamin D which we were lacking over the past few weeks. We left Nida all smiles. Josh even managed to do his Fantasy Football draft here. It was terrible! We need to save a few things for when we see you guys. Bring it up.<br />

Onwards and upwards to Riga, Latvia. We have a confession to make. We were in Riga for 5 days and apparently weren't in the picture taking mood because we hardly have any photographic documentation of our time there. We were caught up in the moment of enjoying the lifestyle there that we didn't carry our camera around every second of every day. Sometimes, constantly seeing the world behind a camera takes away from its luster. This was one of those times that we enjoyed just living and not capturing our daily life. Here are a few of the moments we did capture.<br />

The couple that wears red together, stays together! Josh usually makes Leanne change if we wear anything that remotely looks similar in patterns or colors. Leanne snuck this one by him.<br />

There's a weird story behind this sculpture. There's an old fable that of course we can't recall but its something about this larger than life man carrying a baby across the river. We think he might be the Latvian version of Paul Bunyan. <br />

As we mentioned in the beginning of the post, we had to catch a ferry to Helsinki in a couple of weeks. Well, guess what? It felt like the blink of an eye but our two weeks were up so it was time to move along. We made our way across the sea and set foot in Helsinki early on Sunday morning. We were excited because we were Couchsurfing (not familiar with <a href="http://www.couchsurfing.com/">Couchsurfing</a>?) with a couple kind enough to host us for three days and two nights. We realize that is not nearly enough time in Finland but we had to catch a flight to London. </div>

Pauliina and Antti's house was so creatively decorated. In the directions that Antti sent us, he said:<br />
"Go to the house that looks like a used video game shop." We weren't certain what that meant but when we arrived, it all made sense to us. It was awesome. We give them the award for the most creatively decorated place.<br />

We want to thank Antti and Pauliina one more time for making our visit to Helsinki even better. Seeing a place through a local's eyes is so rewarding. Thanks for the strong espressos, the laughs and the fun stories. We will think of you when we return home to the snow; wishing we had a sauna in our house. We hope to see you in Colorado so we can return the favor. </div>

Hello Friends, Family and Followers,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When we last left off we were in Warsaw and were trying to figure out how we were going to make it to Ukraine. Originally we wanted to take a sleeper train to Lviv and then go on to Kiev. After Kiev we were going to work our way through Belarus and then head into Lithuania to make our way to Helsinki, Finland for a flight to London to visit friends. Josh went online to check the procedures on going through Ukraine and Belarus. Ukraine was a breeze but Belarus wanted $400 each for a visa. Whew! $400 was out of the question so we booked a flight from Kiev to Vilnius, Lithuania. That part was taken care of. Next we had to figure out how we would get to Lviv. The overnight train was very expensive and full so we researched towns along the way. We ended up going to Przemysl on a whim. What is there to see in Przemysl? Well, nothing really. How exactly do you pronounce Przemysl anyway? When we tried to buy the train ticket in Warsaw we couldn't communicate where we were trying to go so we walked out of the worst tourist office in the world frustrated and defeated. By the way, when we say WORST tourist office in the world we mean it. Warsaw does not value their tourists whatsoever so be prepared if you ever find yourself there. We finally found somebody who had a map and physically pointed to the town. Turns out it is pronounced (Sheh-mishel). We finally had our ticket booked and were leaving out of Warsaw in a couple of days. It felt like a couple of days too long for us. We were on our way!</div>

Przemysl turned out to be such a lovely little town. Nobody spoke any English, German or obviously Spanish so we were kind of left to pointing at things which we are 100% fluent. Przemysl's claim to fame is the bell and pipe museum. They loved their pipes and it actually took Josh down memory lane seeing all the old men sitting around smoking pipes. Josh's grandfather was a pipe smoker so it's not really something you see much of anymore.</div>

We enjoyed the quaintness of the small town and really felt like we were out in the world. Often times, we say to ourselves that we really feel like we're traveling. This was one of those times. We spent two days and two nights walking around the small town entertaining ourselves.</div>

After another bus journey, we found ourselves at the main bus station in Lviv, Ukraine. It was like we were in another world. Ukraine definitely has a strong former Soviet feel to it. The bus station was located 20 minutes outside of the center of town. Luckily, one lady at the ticket counter was able to tell us what local bus we should take to get to our hostel. <br />
<br />
That's right folks, we were staying in a cheap hostel that decorated with ridiculous graffiti for artwork. It's not all glitz and glamor on the road.<br />

The Eurocup 2012 was actually held in Kiev and Lviv. Some mastermind came up with the slogan "Just Lviv It!" for the Eurocup. They take great pride in this slogan and it's still scattered throughout the town. We decided to "Just Lviv It!" ourselves. When in Rome!</div>

Lviv has a feeling of a city that wants to be known as an Eastern European hotspot but hasn't quite broken through. There is a little bit of tourism but not much. They aren't really concerned with adapting to tourists. The signs are all written in Crylic which is very difficult to read and it was a challenge getting around. To be completely honest there was a cold vibe to the city and it was tough to travel there. We were settled in for four days so we decided to make the best of it and check out the city's sites.</div>

We mentioned that it was a challenge getting around Lviv. Our most challenging task was buying our train ticket to Kiev. Nobody and we mean NOBODY spoke English at the train station. Through an extensive use of body language, we managed to figure out which line we needed to be in to purchase the tickets. We waited in line, well, Lviv's version of a line which consisted of various people cutting in front of the person that was just about to be helped at the ticket window. It was finally our turn and we were bound and determined to purchase this train ticket. The lady at the window tried to shake her head several times to say should couldn't assist us. Um, we weren't taking that as an answer. We fumbled and stumbled and somehow managed to get her to understand the date and time of the train we wanted to book. It was actually quite comical because the people in line behind us were repeating our every word, attempting to learn English. We had our own audience but it was a show we would have rather not been the star of. </div>

We needed to leave our hostel no later 4:15 am in order to make it to the train station for our departure. The night before, the girl working at the hostel said it would be no problem for them to call us a taxi in the morning. We were ready to go by 4:00 am but after two attempts at calling a taxi company the guy working the front desk informed us that all taxis were busy. WHAT? WHY? How the heck were we going to get to the train station? We bolted for the door and began frantically wandering the streets in search of vacant taxis. Every taxi that passed us was occupied. It was unreal! It was 4:00 in the morning. How was this even happening? Before we had a compete meltdown we found an unoccupied taxi. Or so we thought. Someone had called the taxi and he was waiting for his fare. We were at a complete loss. We were going to miss our train...the first time this would happen on our entire trip. </div>

Cue the angels singing hallelujah! The lady that had called the taxi was headed to the train station and asked if we wanted to ride with her. We tried to pay for the taxi when we arrived at the station but she insisted on paying as long as Josh would help her with her bag. She was so sweet. Thanks so much to the lady that saved our behinds. She also informed us that the train ride to Kiev was only 6 hours long; not 12 hours like we had thought. We had purchased tickets for the fast train with speeds exceeding 150 km per hour. It was the cheaper option which was why we chose it. We had no idea it was faster too. Bonus!</div>

It's funny how one person can turn things around. Actually it was moving to Kiev that did it. We booked a place close to the train station because getting off the train or bus and constantly trying to figure out where you're going was getting old. We got a slightly nicer place this time so that helped a little too. Kiev was like a whole other world. It had great energy and the people actually smiled every now and then. Things were looking up and we were rejuvenated. After settling in it was time for some sightseeing!</div>

How many times in our lives will we have the opportunity to visit Chernobyl? There have been rumors that visiting Chernobyl will become obsolete in less than 20 years.

This is the monument dedicated to the fallen firefighters of Chernobyl. There were 28 firefighters that died within the first three months after the explosion due to exposure to supralethal levels of radiation. Most of these men were in their early 20s. It was truly a heartbreaking loss. The actual number of deaths related to the explosion is impossible to account for because of the uncertainty of knowing who would have died from cancer without their exposure to radiation in Chernobyl. <br />

We have to stop rhyming for now because we couldn't figure how to take on a serious topic like Auschwitz while making silly rhymes. Almost everybody knows something about Auschwitz and if we're completely honest with ourselves it pretty much comes from the movie Schindler's List. We don't think this is a bad thing because sometimes it takes film to jog the collective memory of cultures. What happened in Auschwitz should never be forgotten. Somewhere around a million and a half jews were killed at Auschwitz. Knowing this we headed on our way to pay our respects and learn more about this horrible event. Oswiecm is an hour train ride from Krakow through the forrest. It was very sobering to take the train ride that the prisoners took all those years ago. When we rode on the train it was so hot that we couldn't help but imagine the misery felt all those years ago. Auschwitz got it's name because the Germans couldn't pronounce Oswiecm so they made the name more German sounding and easier to pronounce.</div>

We need to add a little side note to people doing research on visiting Auschwitz:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you're visiting and trying to figure out which one to visit first, we strongly recommend going to Auschwitz 2 first. If you really want to go with a guide then we would still recommend going to Auschwitz 2 first. Auschwitz 1 is very, very crowded during the day and you are required to go with a guide. If you want to wander around and avoid the crowds go later in the day as Auschwitz 2 is more spread out and not as big of a draw so you can visit there during "high time." Later you can visit Auschwitz 1 for no charge or pay the fee for the guide. Either way, avoid the crowds and go to Auschwitz 1 later in the afternoon. Ok, all sorted.</div>

Hello Family and Friends, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We last left off making our way through Romania. When we first set off on our trip we weren't interested in ticking off countries but wanted to spend time and get to know each place we were visiting. After 17 months of leisurely making our way along we decided to pick up the pace and move through a few countries. The main reason for this is that we found out that our friends, Jason and Sladjana, were going to be in Belgrade and we had one night to visit them. We thought it was probably going to be last time we saw friends before we got home so we picked up the pace a little. At the time it didn't seem like a whirlwind but when we were picking out pictures to use for the blog we realized that we busted through quite a few places. This blog covers about two weeks time so it wasn't really that rushed based on a normal two-week trip but it was tough for us to bounce around on buses and trains every couple of days. However, we did see some great places and got to "tick off" several places. Looking at it in the rearview mirror we have to say we're glad we did it. It seems like everyday we're asking ourselves "Where were we when this happened?"</div>

Well, on THIS particular day we pulled into Brasov, Romania. Brasov is in the heart of Transylvania and a great place to be based to see the famous Dracula's castle and other small towns around Transylvania. Brasov is a beautiful city with lots of history,old churches, and a city square. All of this is set with a mountain backdrop. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was pouring rain when we arrived which was appropriate to set the mood for Transylvania. </div>

We'll get more into Brasov a little further down. We set out to Bran to see what is generally known as "Dracula's castle". We caught a local bus for the one-hour bus ride. This particular bus had about 4,000 air fresheners in it. Why are there so many air fresheners? </div>

How this became known as Dracula's castle we can't tell you. Obviously, we could quote a few things from Wikipedia. That would feel like we were writing a school paper though. Here's what we can say: Dracula was a fictional character created by Bram Stoker, an Irish author, who never visited Transylvania or even Romania for that matter. The character was loosely based on Vlad the Impaler, a horrible historical figure but at most Vlad the Impaler only visited the famous castle. Transylvania was one of the places that Josh used to talk and dream about with Leanne before we left so it is fair to say this was one of his "top spots." Envisioning lonely, dilapidated castles on top of cloudy, rocky and dreary mountains is the image we had in our minds. We expected to hike up to this castle surrounded by trees with a constant drizzle while horse drawn carriages raced up the mountain. Ahhh, maybe we watch too many movies. Instead of this we stumbled across Knott's Berry Farm and Busch Gardens with a sprinkle of Disney Land and a touch of a county fair.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It turns out that every tourist within a 1,000 mile radius comes here to see the castle. Oh well, so much for the imagination. How about a mask to add to the cheesiness?</div>

We returned to Brasov with a few hours of daylight left so we wandered through a nearby park. These fantastic ladies caught our attention. We imagined what their eyes have seen and their ears have heard throughout their lives in Brasov. They looked liked the best of friends as they all squeezed onto that park bench ready to recount the latest gossip. It made us miss our friends back in the states. We can only hope you all haven't forgotten about us?<br />

Many people have asked Leanne how she has such a variety of clothing while traveling with such a small bag. She wanted to maintain some sort of fashionable look even while on the road. Her little secret is second hand shops. She occasionally purchases a new item of clothing from a "real" store but most of the time she finds gems in second hand stores. The rule is she must donate or giveaway an item of clothing when adding a new item to her attire. This awesome red skirt was purchased from this second hand store in Transylvania. The tag says " Made in West Germany". Now that's one vintage skirt and it only cost $2!<br />

After extending a day in Brasov we were ready to head on our way to Bucharest. To be honest, we were a little leery about going to Bucharest. We met a girl while we were in Moshi, Tanzania just before we completed our Mount Kilimanjaro trek. We didn't exchange information because we didn't really think our paths would cross again. She actually asked the lady we stayed with in Moshi for our information and tracked us down through our blog. We were pleasantly surprised to hear from her and even more surprised when she offered to host us and show us all around Bucharest when we made our way there in a few weeks. Wow, how cool was that! We emailed back and forth and told her we would get in contact once we knew our schedule better but we told her some rough dates for late in July. It was June when she first contacted us. As time neared, we rearranged our schedule to be in Bucharest when she told us she would be available. We wrote her several emails and didn't get a response back. Sure enough, she flaked out. Huh? She hunted us down and then left us high and dry? She even said she would pick us up, let us stay with her, and take us around town. We were excited about seeing her and getting a local experience of the city. We actually did some online investigating to make sure she was okay because we were worried about her. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We wondered if everybody in Bucharest behaved this way until we remembered a rule we've reminded ourselves over and over again. No matter where you go there are bad people in the world and there are great people in the world. In the end, we wondered what her original motive was and decided it may have been a good thing she flaked. We just so happened to run into a bad person so we shook it off. It turned out to be a good thing that we did because the people in Bucharest were very friendly and helpful. (Well, except for one)</div>
<br />
After we got settled we headed over to the park. It was so incredibly hot in Bucharest. Later, our guide told us it was the hottest day in history. <br />
<br />
This picture pretty much sums up just how hot is was. It was "I am going to take a nap on this bench, right here, right now, HOT!"<br />

Boomerang...it's a funny word to say, but has anyone tried throwing one? It's harder to master than you think. Some guy gave Josh one to practice with while we were walking around the park. We tend to walk around parks quite often; it's a great way to people watch. Josh tossed it around a few times but it just kept soaring up in the air and coming right back down.<br />

Unfortunately, we only had a few days to spend in all of Bulgaria so we decided to focus on Sofia. If you find yourself traveling around this part of the world we would suggest spending a lot more time in the country. The coast looks amazing and there is so much to do. We really, really wish we had more time but we tried to squeeze as much as we could into the short amount of time we were there.</div>

Ahhh, another protest. Is it just us or are there a lot of protests in Eastern Europe? This particular protest was extremely peaceful and carried out by the middle class families. The protest was to encourage the old communist leaders to step down and let true democracy take over.</div>

After our short stay in Sofia we were headed out again to Skopje (pronounced Sko-pia) in Macedonia. For some reason, we found ourselves saying it with a Sean Connery accent. Try it, makes it sound so much cooler, right? When we originally headed to Skopje the plan was to spend a couple of days in Skopje, Macedonia, a few days in Ohrid, Macedonia, and then head to Kosovo for a night before our rendezvous with our friends in Belgrade, Serbia.</div>

Your not going to believe this when we tell you but the main square in Skopje reminded us of Las Vegas. Seriously. Not so much the gambling but the brand new shiny fountains everywhere made out of white marble. It was pretty crazy. This particular statue is of Alexander the Great who was from Macedonia NOT Greece (at least according to them).</div>

There weren't really beaches to lay out at, just mass amounts of people gathered around the side of the lake, laying on stretches of small pebbles and dried up grass. We didn't want to fight for a spot near the water so we decided to spend the first day seeing what Ohrid had to offer.<br />

Hiking in flip-flops? This wouldn't be the first time for that. Side note: Josh blew out his flip-flops in Montenegro. He had a few beers to drink and insisted that he needed to go buy new flip-flops immediately. Leanne didn't accompany him on this shopping trip. Huge mistake! He came back with faded red (more like pink) flops that said MONTENEGRO on the soles. Leanne laughed upon the first glance. Josh's response "they were the cheapest I could find." High five to saving money but the flops are awful. They have no grip whatsoever and are incredibly uncomfortable, but Josh continues to sport them until they blow out. <br />

After our visit to Ohrid we headed back to Skopje (insert Sean Connery voice) for the night before our anticipated departure to Kosovo. Josh was researching and discovered something very interesting. You can't cross the border into Serbia from Kosovo! What? This made no sense to us but we decided to not risk it just in case what we read online was true. FYI, it turned out to be absolutely true. Here's why: Serbia does not recognize Kosovo as an independent country. This means that if you cross from Kosovo into Serbia you haven't officially gone through passport control so you have to return where you came from and enter the country through a Serbian passport control. When you enter Kosovo you go through a Kosovo passport control, get the stamp, all that good stuff but according to Serbia you are in Serbia and don't have a Serbian stamp so you are in the country illegally. Clear as mud?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This meant we would have to stay another night in Skopje and take a day trip to Kosovo so we could return to Macedonia to enter Serbia through a different, "Serbian approved" border.</div>

Whew! With all that explained (hopefully) we were on our way to Pristina, Kosovo for the day to see the coveted Bill Clinton statue. Ok, coveted is probably the wrong word but when we originally heard of this while hitchhiking (see Albania to Montenegro post) with the crazy Kosovo guys that picked us up we had to check it out.</div>

Is that a selfy-stick picture you ask? It sure is. We whipped that thing out amongst everyone walking through the streets and took a picture with Bill like any proud American would do. We received several smiles while taking this picture. Nothing screams "We're American" than taking a picture like this. The good thing is that the people of Kosovo love Americans, almost too much. We found ourselves speaking really quietly to each other hoping that no one would hear us because it was so uncomfortable. <br />

We're not kidding when we say they love America and Americans (see picture below). For good measure, Josh drank an RC Cola while we were visiting...it's been around since 1905.

An average sidewalk in Pristina. The people in Kosovo were so friendly and we felt bad that we came in for a day to gawk at their Bill Clinton statue and then make our way out in one day. The sad part is that we considered the prices to be high so imagine what it is like for the average citizen. We have no idea how these poor people make it by. They've seen worse we're sure.</div>

We made our way back to Skopje (you just did the Sean Connery voice) late that afternoon and will never forget our short time in Kosovo. Would we suggest visiting there? Meh, maybe. They still have a lot of things to finish including a main commercial street that looks to be half-way finished. There really isn't much to see but if your thing is visiting with local people this is a great place to go.</div>

It was time to bid our farewell to Macedonia and make the long jaunt to Belgrade, Serbia. Our Denver friends, Jason and Sladjana, were already there ready to meet up with us. We were beyond excited. Sladjana is Serbian and they were there to visit her family and vacation on the Adriatic Coast. After a few hours of frustration trying to find a room in Belgrade, we finally settled in and spruced ourselves up for a night out on the town. Sladjana's cousin and her husband even joined us for dinner. The ladies did an excellent job ordering food and drinks for the table. Yum!<br />
<br />
Cheers to good friends, good food and good times!<br />

One of the things to do in Belgrade is to party on the boat clubs on the River Danube. It's definitely a unique experience and we wouldn't have been able to figure it all out without Sladjana's help. While Sladjana sang along to the songs, we danced and pretended to know what was going on. It was a blast!<br />

We were proud of ourselves because we stayed out until 4:30 am! That's one of the latest nights we've had on the trip. Jason and Sladjana were troopers because they battled right through their jetlag.<br />
<br />
Even though it was a Friday night we have a sneaking suspicion that every night is a Friday night in Belgrade. Everyone is ready to party and dance the night away. It just so happens that we put our party pants on that night too.<br />

After less than 4 hours of sleep, we woke up early to see the sights of Belgrade. We were scheduled to leave on a train bound for Budapest, Hungry early the next morning so we had to make as much of the little time we had there.<br />

While it was brutally hot and we couldn't find anywhere to escape the heat; even our hotel room on the 5th floor had NO AC or fan, we made a stop at the old Belgrade fortress Kalamegdan.<br />

Since we are vagabonds in the truest form, the following morning it was time to board a 6:00 am train headed for Budapest. We definitely rushed through this part of the world and we wish we had more time to visit each place. However, the planet is large and it beckoned us to explore more of it's beauty.</div>

Jason and Sladjana, you made our trip to Serbia a memorable one and we can't thank you enough for meeting up with us. The laughs, the food, the dancing, the music, the fun, it's all something we will forever cherish. We just wish we had more time to spend with you. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your vacation and thanks again for allowing us to take a vacation from our vacation. We miss you guys and can't wait to dance to Serbian music, errr, see you in Denver. </div>

Guess what? We are finally less than a month behind in our blog! Hopefully, we can get caught up soon. To be honest, this blog is becoming more and more of a struggle for us to write. It's hard to keep it up with it after 18 months. However, we've gone this long and Leanne won't let us stop. If it was up to Josh, we would have stopped writing it during our second month on the road. </div>

When we last left off we were on our way to Dubrovnik to meet our friends, Mike and Lynn. We were heading to Dubrovnik with Andrew and Liz but there was some confusion and we ended up on separate busses that left at the same time. We had no idea that two buses left Kotor at the exact same time but we guess that's how things go. Our bus only had 10 people on it and theirs looked full. For some reason, they wouldn't let them change but we knew we would see them soon enough so it was ok. When we arrived we had another journey finding our place. Why is it so hard to find these places? We eventually got settled and waited for Mike and Lynn. Dubrovnik has some of the prettiest waters on the Adriatic so we took a couple of seconds to get a quick snapshot.</div>

When Mike and Lynn arrived we were so excited to see familiar faces and get caught up with things from home. We put the camera away for the day and spent the rest of the day enjoying each other's company. These pictures sum up the first day.</div>

The next day we headed to the closest beach to our guesthouse. This would become our "go to" spot. The beach was rocky and a bit strange but there was no denying the raw beauty of the cliffs and water.</div>

Look who we met up with for dinner and drinks. Long time no see, Andrew and Liz! We should really consider traveling as a foursome for the remainder of our travels. Maybe Mike and Lynn should join in and we can be the traveling 6some (totally made up number word combo). Talk about buying power!<br />

Liz has this game that she likes her friends to play. It's called Scenario and works like this: the person with the camera gives the other person(s) an off-the-wall scenario and takes a picture of them acting out the scenario. It's a really fun game and makes for some great shots. Leanne can't remember this scenario but the picture is priceless.<br />

Andrew and Liz made their way to Bosnia the following morning. We didn't have a tearful goodbye because we knew we would be seeing them again for the fifth rendezvous in Sarajevo in a few days.<br />
<br />
If you saw this picture and didn't know we were in Croatia what would you guess? San Antonio? Mike and Lynn brought a little bit of San Antonio over with them and this is one of the thousands of reasons we love them. Tortillas and refried beans from HEB (a San Antonio grocery store chain) and A Spurs shirt. Man, we wish we could kiss through this blog right now. Josh has barely taken that shirt off since he got it. This is much to the chagrin of Leanne.<br />

If you ever find yourself in Dubrovnik you have to walk along the wall. It is supposed to take about an hour but we managed to stretch that out quite a bit. Have you ever seen the series Game of Thrones? Kings Landing is filmed in Dubrovnik and you can see why they picked the spot when exploring.</div>

We decided to take a day trip to Bosnia-Herzegovina with Mike and Lynn for some adventure. Our first stop on the tour was a visit to Medjugorje. Medjugorje is a village in the southern part of Herzegovina in the present-day state of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The small parish of about 4,000 has become famous due to a series of reported visions of the Virgin Mary in the hills that began in 1981. The apparitions have not been validated by the Catholic Church but the Shrine of the Queen of Peace at Medjugorje attracts thousands of tourists each year. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-auto;">The city was the most heavily bombed of any Bosnian city during the war. At the beginning of the war, the city lost many important buildings and structures through air strikes. Later, once the formerly-aligned forces turned into enemies, a thorough destruction of this old city began, including The Old Bridge. Our guide said, "When the Old Bridge collapsed, it was like the heart was ripped out of most Mostar natives." Even mentioning the bridge years after its fall would invoke tears from a native. The bridge symbolized the city and country as a whole. </span></div>

There are still ruins scattered throughout the town as a reminder of their past. Our guide didn't want to go into the details of the years durning the war but he did tell us that he spent 2 years (ages 6-8) in a basement without seeing the light of day. This is yet another reminder that we should all be thankful for the freedom that we have. </div>

After the whirlwind of Dubrovnik and Mostar we were on our way to Sarajevo. Josh's dad was stationed in Bosnia during the UN peacekeeping mission there in 1996 so this was a place he always wanted to visit. Sarajevo just sounded so exotic and far away. It was hard to believe we were on our way. Bus rides are always interesting and this one was no exception. We stopped at a rest stop that was roasting pigs on a spit. Not something you'd see at home but pretty cool.</div>

We were on our way to meet Andrew and Liz again and were supposed to be there two hours before we arrived. This seems to happen a lot. Hmmm...maybe the buses and trains are always late? Yes! We figured it out. As a general rule the buses and trains are ALWAYS late in Eastern Europe. We have never been proven wrong but are looking forward to the day when something is on time and we're wrong. Please, please prove us wrong. We got off the bus and headed to the city center to touch base with our roomies.</div>

When we got to the center this is the church where we decided to meet. They had spent hours finding us a place to share. We felt like such slackers but once again, they pulled through. We have gotten so used to traveling with our buddies that we missed taking a picture with or of them the entire time we were in Sarajevo (4 days). How pathetic is that!? Still, it was so great to have them around and it felt like being with long, lost friends.</div>

Andrew and Liz told us about a great walking tour of the city. They went on it the day before so we decided to try it out for ourselves. Our guide, although soft-spoken, told us bits and pieces of the tragic history. </div>

This is a Sarajevo rose. A Sarajevo Rose is a concrete scar caused by a mortar shell's explosion that was later filled with red resin. It marks where an individual was killed from the mortar explosion. Mortar rounds landing on concrete create a fragmentation pattern that looks almost floral in arrangement. The marked concrete patterns are a unique feature to the city and a beautiful way to remember the lives that were taken during the horrific time in history.</div>

The next day we went on yet another walking tour! This time all four of us went on the tour. The beginning of the tour was confusing because we met on the front side of the theater we were standing at. The bad thing was that we were waiting on the back side for twenty minutes!! Lesson? Always check both sides of the building you are supposed to meet at. Ok, we put that one in the old memory banks.</div>

The second walking tour was a little different and the guide seemed to know his stuff. He took us to the market where a bomb exploded killing dozens of people less than two decades ago. It was very sobering to think about the life that these people have lived and the things they've seen. This cute little farmers market was the site of devastation such a short time ago.</div>

We also stopped at a coffee house serving Bosnian coffee. In case you are wondering, Bosnian coffee is very similar to turkish coffee. Josh thinks it is a lot less floral so he prefers it.</div>

Sarajevo is a constant reminder of the horrible past. The destruction was tragic and sobering. Still, you have to appreciate the struggles and accomplishments for those that stuck it out. One of the questions we heard a few times on our tours was "Why didn't you just leave?" This response really troubled us. It assumes that people had the resources to just pick up and go. These people were barely scraping by. How in the world could they have just left? Also, this is their home. Why would they want to? Sometimes we need to think about what we're saying before we just say it. Josh's fourth grade teacher used to call this diarrhea of the mouth. She was a smart woman.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
The four of us needed to go to the bus and train station (they're next to each other) so we walked along and checked out the city outside of the center. Beautiful disaster comes to mind.</div>

Andrew actually pointed out this sculpture and said it reminded him of the Bronco outside of DIA (Denver International Airport). However, this sculpture doesn't look possessed like the one in Denver. </div>

We left the apartment at 4:45 am the next morning to catch a bus to Belgrade. From there we planned on catching a train to Timisoara, Romania. Andrew and Liz actually got up to say goodbye to us even though it was way before they needed to wake up. This goodbye was a bit harder than the previous four goodbyes. This might be the last time we would see our travel buddies while on the road. They were heading a different direction than us and most likely we would be behind them by the time we arrive in South America. However, it wasn't a goodbye as much as it was a see you later! We are grateful to have you as friends and will cherish our memories of traveling around the world together. We just know we will be friends for life and will bore our future children with stories of our travels. If we don't see you in the next few months, we will meet again in the good ole' USA. Safe travels dear friends! We miss you already!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, that train we planned on catching in Belgrade apparently doesn't exist. Imagine that!? We went back and forth between the bus station and train station until we were finally told that we would need to take a bus to some small town and then take the train to Timisoara. Another lesson of the road...don't plan too far ahead for things just might change!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After a 3-hour bus ride, we found ourselves in a sleepy little town call Vrsac. The train wasn't scheduled to leave for another 2.5 hours so we tried our best to pass the time. We were the only ones in the station and the bathroom was one of the worst we have seen on our trip. We couldn't even bring ourselves to take a picture because it was so disgusting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Instead, Josh posed for a picture at the ticket counter as if we had actually purchased something to prove we would be getting on this train. No one showed up at the ticket window until 30 minutes before the train's departure. </div>

We made it on the train and over the border. After one heck of a travel day, we finally arrived in Timisoara around 10:00 pm. What we thought would be 10 hours of traveling actually turned into 17 hours of traveling. At least we pre-booked a hotel room so we had a place to lay our heads down for the night. </div>

Timisoara is a city in Western Romania. We imagined a small town in the country side but it actually turned out to be huge. The city center was rather small so we stuck to this area so we wouldn't get lost. The people were extremely friendly and we knew we'd love it immediately. Timisoara is also the "jumping off" point for Transylvania. We loved our stay here and it was so beautiful.</div>

Hello friends and family!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When we last left off we were heading out of Greece and making our way to Albania. To be honest we didn't know much about Albania but we needed to work our way up the coast to meet our friends, Mike and Lynn in Dubrovnik so we were off! We looked at the map and chose to cross over the Southern border into Saranda on the Adriatic coast. Another bonus is that there is the ancient city of Butrint within striking distance. This was attractive to us because we wanted to get away from the usual tourist path and see something a little less known. After a little bit of confusion we were finally on the right bus and settled in for our 18-hour bus ride. </div>

At 3:00 am we had to get off of the bus to show our passports and cross the border. We were the only foreigners on the bus and we were the last to cross over. As we looked up, the bus was pulling away. Leanne panicked and started sprinting to catch up with the bus. Fortuantely, it made a short stop at the duty-free shop up the road. We climbed on board and Josh yelled at the bus driver "Don't leave us when we cross in Albania!" He had no idea what Josh was saying but he knew Josh was furious. When we crossed in Albania they actually made sure everyone was on board before taking off. Crisis diverted!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When we got off the bus we had a "What have we gotten ourselves into" moment. It was 7:00 in the morning and we were in a city that Josh thought looked like the Soviet block. Wow, we'll never forget the feeling of rolling our bags through dirt roads filled with dilapidated buildings covered with graffiti and trash thrown down the side of the hills. Oh boy, here we go again. We found our place and found out it was actually 6:00 AM. Huh, we went back an hour? Ok...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Luckily for us we got in so early that the owner and a couple of employees were still up drinking from the night before. It's that kind of place? Well maybe it's not so bad here. The owner was very cool and let us check in when we arrived. You have no idea how grateful we were. Especially after a bus ride all night long. After resting up we hit the, errr, town. The beach was very strange with concrete blocks and old tankers sitting in the bay. How is this a resort town? After checking things out one thing became very clear. NOBODY spoke English but they were so nice. Another thing was that everything was incredibly cheap. Things were definitely looking up. Nice people and cheap? We like it!</div>

The nights turned into some weird 80's carnival with Christmas lights and half of the rides actually worked. One bonus was that the bumper cars worked and they cost next to nothing. We spent quite a while at this place.</div>

The highlight for us was a beautifully preserved mosaic in the old church. This was the best mosaic we have seen on our travels so far. We've seen more mosaics than we like to admit. Josh has kind of gotten into mosaics since we started traveling. That's not a typo.<br />

In Saranda, everything was up for grabs. You could "shitet" or "shiten" to your heart's desire. We are not being crude. "Shitet" means for sale and "shiten" means for lease. Most of the buildings and cars displayed signs. The next time you try to sell your car put a sign that says "shitet" in the window and see how you do!</div>

We were only supposed to stay in Tirana for two days but we decided to extend our stay an additional day. There really wasn't much to do but the people were so incredibly nice and everything was so cheap that we couldn't leave. We were getting sucked in by the generosity of the locals and enjoyed eating on the street with them. We even splurged and went to see World War Z in 3D. It only cost $7 to see a 3D movie and that wasn't for a matinee movie showing. <br />
<br />
We happened to be there during their presidential election. At first we were a bit apprehensive because people were driving around the streets, hanging out of their windows, frantically waving large flags, chanting and honking their horns. This continued for two days. It was all in good spirit and peaceful which was a relief for us after being in Turkey during the not so peaceful protests.<br />
<br />
Leanne noticed that so many people had a black mark across their left thumbnail. There was no way that all of these people slammed their thumbs in a door. We were convinced that it meant something. Was it an indication of status? Did it mean you were married? What did it mean?! Finally, we asked the lovely lady that owned our hotel as we noticed both she and her husband had the mark on their thumbs. Josh asked her "Does that mark on your thumbnail mean something?" She laughed and replied "It means that we voted. We don't have a sophisticated system of tracking who has voted so they mark your thumbnail with a permanent black marker." We all laughed and couldn't believe that was Albania's tracking system for voting. We were hoping for a deeper meaning than that. Oh well.<br />

We saw this book stand on the side of the road and both of us became nostalgic at the sight of the book in the upper right hand corner. Who else remembers reading that book as a child?<br />

Leanne became friends with the owner of our hotel. Bummer that we forgot to take a picture with her. We take pictures of everything and everyone we meet. Guess we got too caught up in talking and forgot to stop for a photo. <br />
<br />
She took Leanne to her hair salon and told the owner of the salon to give her a funky Albanian color. It's cool to have funky colored hair in Eastern Europe. Leanne joined in on the fun but became nervous when the lady busted out the peroxide and started bleaching her hair. The hairstylist wanted to remove the black. Yikes! Leanne was praying she knew what she was doing with that stuff. When asked if she could "trim the hair" Leanne said sure. The lady cut almost 5 inches off and did some weird layering, thinning thing. Oh well, it's just hair and it will grow back, right? The color was fun and luckily all of her hair didn't fall out...yet!<br />

It was time to say goodbye to the lovely people of Albania and head to Montenegro. Even though there wasn't much to do in the parts of Albania that we had time to visit, we walked away with fond memories. </div>

When we were researching how to get to Montenegro from Albania it was really, really tough. It turns out that there isn't any information and we were starting to wonder if this had ever been done. Really?! Why is this so difficult?! On top of this Albania hasn't quite figured out the whole bus station thing. You had to know where you were going and what street corner to go to get a mini bus to your destination. It wasn't too hard because we did a practice run a couple of days before. This practice run consisted of us saying "Shkodra?" to a local and following the direction they pointed. Shkodra, just wanted to throw that out there one more time. Josh read there were two options. Both involved getting to Shkodra (what a fun name to say!). From there you could take a bus or take a taxi for 10 euros. When we arrived in Shkodra we realized that the next bus didn't leave for 8 hours. We were not interested at all in waiting 8 hours so we took a taxi to the border and tried our luck at catching a bus on the other side of the Montenegro border.</div>

This idea did not work out at all. We got across the border and there was nothing there. Just farmers and sheep and nothing else. We started walking wondering what we were going to do. We knew we could walk for 8 hours and eventually a bus would come by but that sounded horrible. Leanne went into a small market and said "Bus?". The lady typed on her calculator the number 12 and pointed up the street. Leanne replied "Thank you" with a puzzled look. So, does that mean there is a bus that comes at noon and stops up the street? What? It was 11:30 so we decided to walk up the street to what might look like a bus stop. No success there. Leanne turned to Josh and said "Now we try our luck at hitchhiking." Josh wasn't a big fan of this idea but it was our only option. Leanne noticed a small blue truck pass us by and she thought to herself, "if that truck turns around, we are hoping in the back." Guess what? That truck came by again and Leanne's thumb went out for the old "pick me up" sign. Josh was starting to freak out a little bit at this point. There were two guys in the truck and they stopped and waved for us to come over. "Let's do this" Leanne said with a smile to Josh. The guys told us to put our stuff in the truck bed and get in the back seat. They also picked up an Argentinian guy that was walking just ahead of us. </div>

The guys were from Kosovo and and they were crazy. They were chain smoking the whole time and talking about everything that came to mind. They were definitely in love with America to the point that we were squirming in our chair. This is where we learned about a huge Bill Clinton statue in the capital of Kosovo. They knew every single country that hadn't recognized them as an independent nation and Argentina was on the list so we spent a good majority of the ride listening to them give our riding partner a hard time. They were so nice though and really helped us out. They dropped us off about 25 kilometers away from our final destination. Five minutes later a bus came by and took us the rest of the way. What a wonderful world we live in.</div>

When we arrived in Budva we managed to find our place after knocking on several doors and asking if we were at the right place. Finding your rooms in Montenegro is a complete mess unless you stay at a well-known place. So after we finally got everything sorted out we headed to the walled-in old city.</div>

Budva is a very, very interesting town. On one hand there is a beautiful walled-in city with beautiful water that is second-to-none on the Adriatic coast. On the other hand the beaches are jam packed with Russian tourists. Nothing against our Eurasian comrades but...WOW! Put on some pants!! These guys love to bump weird Russian electronica, wear gold chains, and of course budgie smugglers (banana hammocks, speedos, etc.) are in full force.</div>

The hiking signage was lacking so we found ourselves lost a few times and wound up in these quaint mountain neighborhoods. Living here wound't be bad at all.<br />

There were still patches of snow on the trails. What little snow was left was packed so there wasn't a threat of postholing which was good for us because we didn't have any gear with us.<br />

We visited Zabljak on June 29th - July 1st (yes, we are still VERY far behind on our blog) and it was officially the start of summer hiking weather on the 1st. All the locals were hanging their laundry and cutting up the dried out wood for this winter's firewood. Mountain folks always have to prepare for the winter season.<br />

We rewarded ourselves with a true Montenegrin dinner; a plate FULL of meat. Leanne had a few bites but it was mainly Josh that put this heart attack on a plate down the hatch. Let it be known that it's Leanne's fault if Josh gains weight on this portion of the trip. She doesn't pull her weight (no pun intended) when it comes to eating the food in this part of the woods.<br />

You know what makes Josh really happy? A 2 liter bottle of beer for $2. Leanne would like to revoke the previous statement that it is her fault if Josh gains weight on this portion of the trip.<br />

The mountains were good to us, as they always are, but it was time for us to hit the road again. We took a short 4-hour bus ride down the mountains to Kotor. We were especially excited to head to Kotor because we had plans to meet up with our fellow travel buds, Andrew and Liz (<a href="http://thiskentuckygirl.com/">thiskentuckygirl.com</a>). This would make our third rendezvous! <br />
<br />
It is so much fun knowing you have friends to meet up with on the road. Andrew and Liz were celebrating their 10 month tripaversay and were feeling a bit worn out. We shared stories of how we felt exactly the same way when we hit 10 months on the road. It's a tough spot to be in. You haven't quite made it to one year but you are beyond 7 months and you just feel exhausted and yes, sometimes you question if you should go home. However, somehow you get a second wind and you realize that you are on this amazing journey and you just snap out of it. It's not always unicorns and rainbows during an around the world adventure. We have our good days and our terrible days. Luckily, the good far outweigh the terrible. The four of us seem to recharge together and feed off of each other's passion for travel. It's just what the doctor would order if any of us had a doctor to see.<br />
<br />
Why, hello Kotor. You look absolutely beautiful!<br />

Andrew and Liz arrived in Kotor a day earlier and did all the leg work to find us an apartment to share for the next three nights. You guys rock and we can't thank you enough for finding our awesome apartment. It was like we were all college roomies. This was the incredible view from our kitchen.<br />

We spent the first night hanging out, catching up over some beers and learning how to play Euchre. We just had to look up how to spell that. While Andrew and Liz were solid teachers of the game, we couldn't quite grasp all the rules. Wait, what the heck was going on with the Jacks and suits and the colors of the cards? It's one tough game to learn! Liz took the below picture as proof that we thought it was hard. </div>

In an attempt to wait out the gigantic cruise ships that came in every day we headed to a couple of small towns on the outskirts of Kotor. Risan is a sleepy little town up the road a bit. We enjoyed the scenery and calm of the village.</div>

After Risan we moved along to Perast. There are two islets in the bay here, St. George and Our lady of the Rocks. Each has a picturesque chapel. Our lady of the Rocks is the only artificially built island in the Adriatic. It was built on the rock after two Venetian sailors found a picture of the Virgin Mary on it in 1452.</div>

Hello Family and Friends,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We hope you all are doing well and enjoying your summer! </div>

We last left off saying our goodbyes to Margherita (we miss you) and fighting an awful stomach bug. Leanne was able to dig deep and make it through the 17-hour bus ride from Istanbul to Athens with no emergency stops. As soon as we checked into our hotel, Josh was hit with the bug and was out of commission for a couple of days. People have asked us if we think we get sick more often on this trip. To be honest, we are not really sure. Leanne's always had a terrible stomach so that's nothing new. We didn't pay much attention to how often we were sick during the course of a year when we lived stateside. We both agreed that it's probably about the same amount but when you are away from a soft couch and the comforts of home, it just feels worse. We are happy to report that after a few doses of self-medicated strong stomach antibiotics for both of us, we were on our way to explore Athens. </div>

Greece was a place that both of us really wanted to see when we set out on our around-the-world trip. Who wouldn't want to check out the ancient history of Athens and the beautiful Greek islands? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Athens is an interesting city with a balance of seediness and it's own charm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The bad: there's a lot, and we mean a lot, of graffiti throughout the city. We also witnessed a man shooting up heroin on a street corner...that was first and something we could have done without seeing. The good: there's incredible history and frozen Greek yogurt!</div>

Armed with an outdated edition of Lonely Planet, we set out on our own walking tour of the city. Our first stop was the Parliament building. We were just in time for the hourly changing of the guards.<br />

Look at that sleepy guy. He stayed up all night to watch the NBA finals, hoping that the Spurs would pull off a victory. Sadly, they lost and so did he for seven nights of sleep. Leanne let him sleep until noon and then her ADD kicked in and she had to get out of that tiny room.<br />

It was an overcast day but we welcomed it because it helped cool things off in the city. We did a lot of walking and saw many sites, One of our personal favorites was the Temple of Olympian Zeus. It was the site of the original Olympic Games. It wasn't big or fancy but it let our imagination run wild.<br />

The following day we woke up at 5:00 am so we could take the metro to the port to catch the ferry to Santorini. We had been in Athens for 4 days with no transportation problems. Of course, the day we need to take the metro was the day they were having a labor strike. It wouldn't be Greece without some sort of strike against working. On this trip we have won some and we have lost some when it comes to transportation. This day was a loss of $10 because we had to take a taxi to the port. </div>

When the doors on the ferry opened our eyes were fixed on a scene of blue beauty!<br />

We settled into a nice hotel by the name of Smaragdi. Our travel buddies, Liz and Andrew (<a href="http://thiskentuckygirl.com/">thiskentuckygirl.com</a>) recommended it to us. They had rooms with kitchenettes and a great pool to relax our weary bodies. This would be where we would call home for the next 6 days. <br />
<br />
Our appetites were back and Josh was thrilled he could snack on some delicious olives, salami, bread and wine.<br />

It had been almost a year since we have stayed in a place where we could cook in our own kitchen. Dinner at home? Yes, please! Leanne is not the biggest fan of eating out so this trip has really been a struggle for her at times. Josh, on the other hand, loves eating out so there hasn't been an ounce of struggle for him.<br />

Josh thought our motorbike days were behind us. He was beside himself with happiness when he found out we could rent a motorbike and make our way around the island. We rented a motorbike the whole time we were there and discovered every inch of the island. <br />

This is the last picture that Leanne would take with those green shorts. Later that night it was a laundry in the sink kind of night. We carefully hung our laundry out to dry on the line in our patio and even secured each item with a clothes pin. We were awoken around 5:00 am by sounds of huge gusts of wind. Leanne rushed outside to collect our laundry which was scattered all around the patio. Sadly, the green shorts were a casualty to the wind storm. Dear Colombia shorts, Leanne would like to thank you for your durability over the past 17 months. If only you could have made the whole journey.<br />

One of the "must do" things to do on the island was a hike from Fira to Oia. Oia is the famous town with the blue roofs that you see in pictures of the Greek Islands. The hike took 3 1/2 hours one way and was hot, hot, hot. However, the hike was 100% worth it and will always be a fond memory for us. Look at these pictures! It was a unbelievable day.</div>

Here are those famous blue roofs we mentioned. It was a beautiful town. The only negative to this little town is that one hour before sunset every tourist on the entire island shows up to watch the sunset. Imagine a Broncos game filing into a small town. It really felt that crowded. We decided to clear on out before we got trampled.</div>

After our time on Santorini it was time to work our way back to the mainland so we could head north. We looked at the map and just sort of picked Naxos. Naxos is a little bigger island with a ton of history. Legend has it that this is the island that Zeus was born. No, Not that Zeus!!</div>

We discovered that Josh is most likely the most inflexible person in the world. It took him almost 5 minutes to try to bend his hands to make it appear like he was pushing on the column. Leanne had to show him several times but he finally got it!<br />

When we finally arrived in Athens, we had 4 hours to waste before boarding our overnight bus to Albania. To pass the time we sipped on coffees and Leanne went shopping for a replacement pair of shorts. Before we knew it, it was time to board our bus. Albania or bust!<br />

Hello Family and Friends,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We hope you are all doing well! This blog post is dedicated to our dear friend, Margherita. She met us in Turkey for two weeks of travel and adventures. We were in desperate need to see a familiar face so her timing was perfect. We spent two weeks sharing a room and we are happy to report that she's still friends with us! </div>

Entering the historic Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Blue Mosque). This is one of the few mosques in the world to boast six minarets. It is popularly known as the Blue Mosque because of the blue tiles that line the interior.<br />

It is absolutely stunning inside. However, the combination of carpet and hundreds of thousands of barefoot visitors makes for one smelly environment.<br />

Margherita was interviewed by a local student. When asked her age she responded with "never ask a woman her age!" He thought that was funny and said he would remove that question from the questionaire. Women around the world will be thankful for that!<br />

We were told to pay a visit to the oldest water pipe (known as nargile in Turkey and shisha in Egypt) bars in Istanbul. We checked out the scene the night before Margherita arrived to make sure it was all that it was cracked up to be. As soon as we walked in our senses were assaulted with the sweet smell of the ever-popular apple flavored tobacco and our faces felt flush from the heat of the hot coals. This was the place to be in the city. Women and men alike were enjoying taking turns puffing on the pipe. It quickly became one of our favorite daily spots in town. Margherita approved!<br />

Guess who was in Istanbul at the same time as us? Andrew and Liz, the wonderful couple that we met in Africa on our safari. They met us for dinner and we introduced them to the nargile bar. It's such a bonus to rendezvous with friends we've met along our travels. At the time we met, they had been traveling for over 9 months and Liz keeps a blog of each day of their travels. That's so impressive considering we are over a month behind on our blog. She does an incredible job capturing each day's activities and budget. Check out her blog at <a href="http://thiskentuckygirl.com/">thiskentuckygirl.com</a>. A big pat on the back to you, Liz! Keep it up! We look forward to a third rendezvous.<br />

Leanne pretending to get her shop on. Really she's just holding Marghi's bags. Leanne used her negotiating techniques and scored an amazing deal on a beautiful, silk bedspread for Marghi. She got the guy down to a fraction of what he was originally asking...it took 45 minutes and a lot of patience but it was all worth it! <br />

We went to a nice dinner as a second celebration for Josh's birthday. The restaurant that we went to on his actual birthday in Israel wasn't that good so we wanted to celebrate it right this time. Leanne was sneaky and when asked if there was a special occasion while making reservations, she told the restaurant that it was for Josh's birthday. We got dolled up for the occasion.<br />

As dessert time neared, the music changed to a loud version of "Happy Birthday". Josh uttered the words "I feel sorry for that person that is celebrating a birthday. This would be so embarrassing." Then, everyone in the restaurant was singing and all of the waiters in the restaurant made their way to our table with a whole cake topped with sparklers. With a look of horror on his face, Josh turned to Leanne and said "I hate you right now." Leanne started crying she was laughing so hard. The cake was incredible...the most amazing dessert we've eaten on the trip. Josh admitted that it was worth the embarrassment.<br />

The next day, we rented a car and embarked on a 10-day road trip throughout Turkey. What made the road trip even more adventurous was that we didn't have GPS or a map. We were true travelers of the road. After a few wrong turns, we finally made it to our first stop, Gallipoli.<br />

Anzac Day celebrations take place on April 25th, the day the Anzac troops landed at what is known as Anzac Cove. We learned so much about Anzac day during our travels in Australia and New Zealand. Josh mentioned that it would be really special if we could see Anzac Cove. He was thrilled that he was able to see it in person while in Gallipoli.<br />

We then headed to Ephesus. Ephesus is an ancient city that has been inhabited since 6,000 BC. It once had a population of 250,000 people in the 1st century BC. It was also one of the seven churches of Asia written about in the book of Revelations. Also, many believe that the book of John was written here. There was tons of history so we decided to just take it all in instead of getting caught up in every little detail.<br />

Next stop on the road trip: Pomukkale! Pomukkale means cotton castle in Turkish. Travertine pools cover the entire area and it certainly is beautiful. We spent the day walking around the pools and their blue waters.</div>

He was adorable. He told us to climb up the tree to see his sleeping turtle. Josh told Marghi to be careful because it was a little snappy. The little old mad starting cracking up laughing after we had all taken a look at his sleeping turtle. It was a clay sculpture of a turtle. He tricked us and thought it was the funniest thing that has ever happened. It was a reminder to us all to appreciate the little things in life and to not take things so seriously.<br />

After spending hours driving around in circles, we finally found a winery for a wine tasting pitstop.<br />

Hot-air ballooning is very popular in Cappadocia. Unfortunately, riding in a hot-air balloon was out of our budget (sorry, Marghi) but we woke up at sunrise to witness an unbelievable skyline of balloons.<br />

Our last stop before heading back to Istanbul was a visit to Derinkuyu Underground City. Derinkuyu is an ancient multi-level underground city that was large enough to shelter 20,000 people along with their livestock and food stores. It is the largest excavated underground city in Turkey. <br />
<br />
We were so proud of Marghi. She battled through her claustrophobia and made it through all seven levels.<br />

For our last night in Cappadocia we went out for a fabulous dinner, drinks and Marghi even decided she actually liked Turkish Delight. Of course, Leanne had to put a damper on the trip by coming down with an awful GI bug in the middle of the night. It's definitely not fun throwing up in gas station bathrooms during an 11-hour car ride back to Istanbul. It took almost two weeks to get over that stomach episode. Poor Josh came down with it too a few days later. Luckily, Marghi managed to avoid it. </div>

Two weeks in Turkey flew by and we were devastated when it was time to say goodbye to our dear friend. We shared laughs, shishas, drinks, food and above all, wonderful memories. We will cherish our fond memories of Turkey. Margherita, we can't even begin to thank you for meeting us along our journey. It was an incredible adventure!</div>

We hope all is well. We are still working our way towards catching up on our posts. These events occurred almost a month and a half ago so we will do our best to recount our memories of Jordan and Israel. </div>

We made our way to from Egypt to Jordan via ferry. It was supposed to take two hours but those two hours turned into five hours. Josh passed the time by gazing at Saudi Arabia through his dorkoculars, err...binoculars. It was hard to believe that Saudi Arabia was less than a quarter of a mile away from us. We had no idea we would be that close!</div>

Leanne couldn't wait to get off the boat, endure the two hour taxi ride from Aqaba to Petra, and take a freshwater shower! At this point it had been six days of saltwater showers and our hair was a stringy mess.<br />

One of Josh's top spots of our entire trip was Petra. It's every boy's (and maybe some girl's!) dream to visit Petra. We think this is in large part, because of the Indiana Jones movies. Evidently we're not the only Americans to feel this way. Petra is extremely popular with American tourists and at times it felt like we were back in our own country. As a matter of fact, President Obama visited a month before we got there and they closed the whole park down for him! It is most famous for its rock-cut architecture and water system. It is thought the ruler of Petra that originally supplied water to the entire town offered his daughter to whomever could figure out a way to get water to the city. This guy was serious! Whether that's true or not, it was quite a feat to get the water situation figured out being that it is in the middle of desert. We were initially shocked by how expensive Jordan and Petra were but we had to accept it. A one-day pass was 50 Jordanian Dinar ($71.43), a two-day pass was 55 JD ($78.57), and a three-day pass was 60 JD ($85.71). Expensive!! The food and hotel costs were higher than we were accustomed to in Egypt but we will save you from those details. We decided to settle in and enjoy the entire park for three days of exploring and searching for the holy grail.</div>

Unless you wanted to take a horse carriage ride you had to walk almost two miles just to get to the canyon. It was quite an enjoyable walk though. </div>

The next morning we took the ride back to Aqaba in Southern Jordan and crossed over the border to Eilat into Israel. We had heard so many horror stories about crossing over the border so we were expecting the worst. Immediately when we entered customs they were playing The Lumineers and Josh told the girl, "Hey these guys are from our home town!" They scooted us on through and asked Josh a couple of questions and Leanne just had her passport run through a computer base. Uhhhh...where's all the questions?! We wanted to be interrogated, dammit!! Nothing, nada, nichts, zilch, you get the point. Entering Israel was no big deal at all and easier than other places because we didn't even have to fill out paperwork. Oh well, hopefully it will be just as easy for you if you ever find yourself visiting.</div>

We waited a couple of hours and caught a bus to Jerusalem. When we arrived it was Shavuot, a national holiday. EVERYTHING was closed down so we were forced to follow the light rail line to get to our hostel. One thing we will get out of the way so we don't have to address it anymore is that Israel is expensive. We mean over the top, "who do these guys think they are?" Expensive. By far the most expensive place we've been. Israel makes Australia feel like a bargain store. There, we got it out of the way. Be prepared if you ever find yourself there. We ate a lot of street food while we were there because we would have been home right now if we had eaten in normal restaurants and stayed in normal hotels. We would have been broke with no jobs.</div>

This is the church where Mary was believed to have "fallen into eternal sleep." Josh made Leanne laugh when taking this picture because he said, "Hey, your middle name is Mary!" right when he was taking the picture. Smiling and laughing is probably not the most appropriate thing to do in this church. Sorry about that.<br />

Israel is home to Jews, Christians and Muslims so wherever you laid your eyes, there was someone deep in prayer.<br />

As we were determining what to do next with our day, a girl approached Josh and asked if he was from Denver. She was given the clue because Josh was wearing his Denver Beer Company t-shirt. She introduced herself as "Sarah, from Denver" and asked if we wanted to join her for food at their Shavout campsite. We had no idea what she was talking about but we were hungry so we took her up on her offer for food.<br />
<br />
Basically, it was a campsite for Jewish hippies during the holiday. They stayed up all night praying so most of them had just awaken when we got there in the late afternoon. They were very kind and fed us a delicious spread of food because it was the dairy harvest. <br />

We figured out that if you ate on the Palestinian side it was half the price. That was the good part. The bad part was that there was a constant threat of violent protesting. While we were eating at a restaurant things turned bad in a matter of mere seconds. We got caught up in the middle of a protest. Police began spraying sewer water and shooting "noise bombs" to disperse the crowd and scare the protesters. One of the "noise bombs" went off 10 feet away from us where we had just been standing a few minutes before. That was enough to scare us so we grabbed our falafel sandwiches and got the hell out of dodge. Crowds swelled and ambulances swarmed all around. It was all over within 30 minutes. This is a common occurrence and a sad reality.<br />

Using an old Lonely Planet guide that we picked up from a hostel along the way, we decided to do our own walking tour of The Via Dolorosa. This is the street within the Old City of Jerusalem that is said to be the path that Jesus walked, carrying his cross, on the way to his crucifixion. This route is a celebrated place of Christian pilgrimage. As we weaved our way through the narrow streets, we found ourselves amongst large tour groups that were carrying wooden crosses while stopping along the way to sing and pray. It was truly a moving demonstration of faith.<br />
<br />
Throughout history there have been several versions of the actual route. Now the streets are filled with seemingly endless souvenir and trinket shops so you have to dig deep to imagine what took place there so long ago. Today there are nine Stations of the Cross along the streets; the last five stations inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.<br />

As mentioned, the last five stations are within the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. We visited the church that morning but left a visit to Jesus's tomb for when we completed the Via Dolorosa tour. To say there are vast amounts of tour groups in Jerusalem is an understatement! During our morning visit, it would have taken over two hours to get through the line for a 10 second peak at the tomb. Luckily, it was later in the day and we only had to wait in line for 30 minutes. Leanne had to tell Josh to take a deep breath and put on his patience cap. He was at his wits-end with the masses of people. <br />

Another view of The Dome of the Rock from our rooftop. This was one of the only redeeming qualities of our hostel. We wanted to stay in the Old City and that meant that we had to stay in a hostel because it was the cheapest option. While the hostel was a historical building it was one of the worst places we have stayed during our trip. There were people everywhere all of the time. It was the only affordable hostel and over 30 people were camping on the roof each night because all of the rooms and dorms were taken. It cost $12 to sleep on the roof with 30 other people. Ridiculous!!! Over 40 people shared the two bathrooms we had to use. Josh thought it reminded him of halftime at a Bronco's game.<br />
We would tell you to avoid the hostel we stayed at but they're all like that so if you have the money just avoid all hostels and get a regular hotel.<br />

"X" or "Some sort of star" marks the spot! Jesus was born exactly in this spot. Nah, we're poking fun because we thought it was funny how there always has to be one specific place where "this" exactly happened. Truth be told, this church wasn't even built until hundreds and hundreds of years after Jesus was born so it is impossible that this is exactly the spot. It's not only in Israel where this happens but all over the world. We guess people just have to think this way to be satisfied. This way when we go home we can tell our friends, "Yeah, this is exactly where (fill in major event in history) happened." So here's ours. Sorry for being so cynical, we do feel blessed to be in such a sacred place.</div>

The Church of the Milk Grotto. Legend has it that a drop of Mary's breast milk fell onto the rocks in the church and turned them all white. Women come here to touch the rocks in hopes of increasing fertility. Josh guarded the gate to make sure Leanne couldn't get in. We're not ready for that just yet. Let's get home first!

We visited the wall of Palestine to see it for ourselves and heard that the graffiti was amazing. We'll save the history lesson on the wall but it is very interesting and easy to research online if it catches your fancy. Basically, the wall was put up in one day and before you knew it you were either in or out. We talked at length to a lady who was on the out and had the wall slapped up right in front of her house. She's not allowed to visit Israel without special permission.</div>

After our time in Jerusalem we decided to rent a car to take a little road trip through Israel. We wanted to drive along the Dead Sea and stop at various places along the way. We also heard it was nice to drive up to The Sea of Galilee so we locked it in! Josh hadn't driven a car in nearly a year so it was nice to get back behind the wheel again. Peugeot Power!!</div>

As part of Josh's birthday present, we splurged and got a nice hotel along the Dead Sea. It's extremely expensive so it really wasn't that nice but it was way better than the places we had been laying our head down for the past several weeks. Leanne went into eight different hotels and this was the only one we could find less than $200 a night. The hotel was actually an all-inclusive Russian resort. You would have thought is was these people's last meal with the way they were hoarding fruit and bread at each meal. We got a small glimpse into what it must be like to be on a Russian cruise ship. Leanne followed their lead and hoarded her fair share of fruit too.<br />
<br />
The hotel was a short walk to the Dead Sea. Happy Birthday to this guy!<br />

The Dead Sea is the lowest place on earth and is the world's saltiest body of water. It is 8.6 times saltier than an ocean. It's so salty that you can literally stand or lay in the water and you're completely buoyant. It was a strange, zero gravity, feeling. Another fun thing about the Dead Sea is that you feel cuts on your body that you never knew you had. We had read everywhere not to shave before you went in so we heeded the warnings and didn't test that one out. However, Josh went underwater and couldn't see for quite a while. We later saw the signs stating not to do this. Yeah, he should really pay more attention.<br />
<br />
We got our float on.<br />

A plus to having your own car is that you can stop and go for a hike on a whim. Leanne changed in the car and we took a short stop to hike Masada.<br />

We made a day trip to Nazareth the following day.<br />
<br />
Church of the Annunciation- the place that Gabriel announced to Mary that she would be carrying the son of God.<br />
<br />
This is also the spot where Josh sported his new "fancy" shirt that Leanne bought him in Egypt. He wears it sparingly because 1) he doesn't want it to smell too bad and 2) it will probably unravel at any time.<br />

We made our way back to our hotel at the Sea of Galilee. Leanne was able to work her magic and negotiate a stellar price on a great room with a beautiful view from the balcony. As a bonus a 4-star breakfast buffet was included at the swanky hotel next door. It was Josh's actual birthday so we went out for dinner to celebrate. Hence, the wearing of the fancy shirt.<br />

We tried to use CouchSurfing during our stay in Tel Aviv. Unfortunately, no one could host us on such short notice. Gal and Gal (a common name for both males and females) offered to meet us for dinner since they couldn't host us due to plumbing problems in their apartment. We exchanged some laughs over travel stories and felt so fortunate to get some real insight on Israel. Thanks, Gal and Gal!<br />

We hope all is well. The latest destination in our blog was an absolute surprise to us. When we left Rwanda we were nervous because we kept reading how unsafe Egypt is and how unstable the region is. A little while back Josh was reading an article about the top 10 countries that dislike Americans the most. Sure enough, Egypt was on the list. We're here to tell you that this just isn't true. Sure, there has been a lot political turmoil in the country but that's all internal. Some people are not happy with the government but it has NOTHING to do with tourists. The majority of the people had no problem with America and none of them disliked Americans as people. Sometimes you have to wonder where the media comes up with this stuff. Disagree? Write us on the side and we'll argue all day with you about it. We were immediately met by the friendliest taxi driver (at 1:30 a.m.) that brought us to our hotel as we settled in for our first night before heading out the next day.</div>

The men were very happy to have him and went about their way worshipping while welcoming him to their environment. He was very uncomfortable but appreciated the gestures.</div>

It was a real eye-opener for us. Deep down inside, people are people, and are basically good. Somebody told us that Muslims look down on muslim extremists the same as Christians look down on the Westboro Baptist Church crazies. Westboro Baptist Church followers are annoying but at least they don't kill people but we see the point. The people were so friendly and this is yet another example of how our lives will be changed forever. </div>

Josh has been told he looks like so many different we can't hardly keep up with it all. We heard Rambo, McGyver (McGyver?! People still remember him?), and Antonio Banderas. As a matter of fact, the people on the streets were certain we were from Spain or South America. Literally everybody on the streets were speaking Spanish to us so we spoke it right back. We've been learning Spanish so they knew no different when we came right back with it. Who knew we'd get to brush up on the language in Egypt! This guy was so convinced that Josh was Antonio Banderas that he wanted a picture with him. Leanne went ahead and snapped one as well.</div>

It wouldn't be a trip to the pyramids without a ride on a camel and capturing "the shot" like every other tourist. We promise we weren't trying to make it look like we were the only ones visiting it just wasn't that crowded this day. It's actually sad because tourism is suffering in Egypt at the moment. We are here to tell you to put it on your list of places to visit. It's unbelievable and is up there as one of our favorite destinations on the trip thus far. </div>

You aren't allowed to take photographs inside of the museum and people are constantly watching you to make sure this is enforced. The museum is filled with priceless pieces of history, many of which we didn't even grasp until we left and read about them. One of the better known items is King Tut's booty (just wanted to slip that word in there). King Tut was only king for 9 years but his tomb was found intact in Luxor. His death mask is one of the most famous objects in the world. We had to download this one from the internet.</div>

After nearly a week it was time to move along to Luxor. We read that the train was the best way to go to get to Luxor. It was a little expensive but we bought a ticket on the night train. This was by far the nicest train we had been on our entire trip. We had a private cabin with sheets and even a mirror with a sink. There was hot water too!</div>

Now for the ugly part of Luxor:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The political turmoil in Cairo has had serious trickle-down effects on the country's tourism. Despite the presence of a few tour groups, tourism is nearly dead in Luxor. We were the only ones staying at our hotel and many places had none. There were once thousands upon thousands of visitors to Luxor but now there are only a few hundred. The problem is that the tourism industry developed lots of tourism workers. You are literally being sold to the entire time. At first it's annoying but you have go to put yourselves in these people's shoes. They are trying to make a living. It was a little comforting at times because you knew exactly what was happening at all times. Sometimes while traveling we can't tell who's being nice and who's trying to sell us something. Sometimes you put your guard up and they were just trying to be nice. This is the worst feeling because we feel like jerks and judged them wrong. In Egypt there is no confusion, EVERBODY is up to something. Nobody is "Just being nice" so we didn't have to worry about it. Yes, they are just trying to make a living but at least the line was drawn and there was no confusion. Does that make sense? If it doesn't then maybe we've been traveling too long and are jaded.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We were feeling bad for all the tourism workers so we rented a horse cart for the day. We don't remember how much we paid but it was very, very little. It actually ended up being pretty cool and we got to help out a local a little.</div>

She held this pose for several minutes while he kept telling her "hold on, just one more second, I am turing the camera on". She didn't even question what was taking so long. It must have been the heat. </div>

One of the hikes we took was from Valley of the Kings, where the Egyptian kings tombs were. Included in the Valley of the Kings is the famous King Tut tomb where all his treasures were discovered. Obviously everything had been removed but the paintings on the wall. We had heard that you could hike from the Valley of the Kings to Hapshepsut but it was blocked off when we tried to find it. The Lonely Planet guidebook said to ask a guard to show you the directions. When we asked the guard he was happy to show us and even let us break the rules of no climbing for a small fee (of course). One thing we discovered while traveling through Egypt is that the Lonely Planet is worthless. Luckily somebody gave it to us so we didn't pay for it. After we paid off the guard we were on our way.</div>

After 5 days in Luxor it was time to head up north to Sinai. We originally booked a bus to Sharm el Sheik on the Red Sea but after a little research realized that Dahab (one hour further north) was more our speed. We took an 18-hour bus ride and the next morning we were at our destination!</div>

We spent six days in Dahab walking along the coast, snorkeling amazing coral, hiking along the mountains, and relaxing. Our accommodations were very basic to say the least. The plus side was it was sooooo cheap. We were living it up and dropping $25-$30 per day for the two of us. This was great for the short run but the long run was the jaw dropping change in cost in our next destinations that we'll cover in the next post.</div>

The reason we went to Sinai was to climb the famous Mount Sinai where Moses received the ten commandments. We decided to go with a group for sunrise. You can go easily enough on your own but in order to hike for sunrise it is necessary to go with a tour because the buses don't run. Another way to go about this would be to take a bus during the day, spend the night on the mountain, and then ride a bus back the next day. We decided to just pay the small fee to go with a group and skip the overnight on the mountain part.</div>

A major block we were having was that it was Coptic Easter so the monastery at the bottom of Mount Sinai was only open one day. It was imperative for us that we visit the monastery to see the sight of the original burning bush. Climbing Mount Sinai is a pilgrimage for many people all around the world. So at 11:00 everybody made there way to the top of the mountain to see the sunrise. It was actually an extremely impressive thing to witness. Very, very old people were hobbling their way up the 4 - 6 hour climb to make it to the summit. You couldn't help but be impressed by the determination of these oldies while simultaneously being annoyed by the shear number of them. At one point Josh pointed out that the entire cast of cocoon was in front of us and not yielding for us in the least. So we passed when we could and twiddled our thumbs when we couldn't. With a couple of hours left in the hike we broke free of the overwhelming majority of groups and got to enjoy a little bit of free movement.</div>

The most painful part of the trip was that we had to wait for over 2 hours until the monastery opened at 9:00 a.m. Half of the group took naps on a table while the rest of us dug deep to stay away. We all hung tight except for two girls that weren't having it. As soon as the monastery opened they went back to the van to wait. The rest of us didn't understand how they weren't even interested in seeing it after waiting all of this time. To each their own. </div>

Josh went to the same guy that dyed Leanne's hair for a shave. Notice any similarity to the guy's beard and Leanne's new hair color? That's right, the guys dye their beards black. Josh started fancying straight razor shaves after a few in India for the wedding. To be honest, he had to go get a shave because our budget guesthouse had saltwater showers. Most of the locals shower in saltwater so we figured we were living like a local. If you thought getting shampoo in your eyes while showering hurt, try getting saltwater in your eyes. It's virtually impossible to get any sort of lather goings for a shampoo or shave. Our hair felt like straw and our skin was drier than your grandaddy's scalp but we were saving money!</div>

Hello
Family, Friends and Followers!<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our
travels in Africa put us almost 2 months behind on our blog. We will try our
best to get caught up in the next few weeks. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When
we last left off, we had just arrived in Lusaka, Zambia after a long train and
taxi journey. We spent one night there and got on a bus to Livingstone
the following morning. We didn't realize that Easter weekend would be
such a travel weekend. Everything was booked and packed! We had to take a
minibus because all of the buses were full. The 6-hour ride turned into a
9-hour ride and we arrived in Livingstone just before 8:00 p.m. We were lucky
to find one of the last remaining rooms in town at a less than desirable hostel
but it was better than nothing. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The
following day we made our way to Victoria Falls...that was the reason we were
there! Victoria Falls is claimed to be the largest sheet of falling water
in the world thus earning it a spot on the list of World Heritage Sites.
It was definitely impressive and lived up to its description. We
were there during the end of the rainy season and the sheer power of the
waterfall was incredible. We were awestruck at the volume of the water
that poured out and over the massive cliff. <o:p></o:p></div>

We
were soaking wet and all smiles. It was like being a kid and playing in

looks like during the dry season. Guess that's an excuse for a future
visit.<br />

We
made our way back to Lusaka so we could press onward to Malawi. The bus
was "scheduled" to leave at 10:30 a.m. There's no such thing as
an on time departure in Zambia. We waited on the bus for 4 hours until it
filled up. We were losing our patience but we had entertainment from the
vendors. This guy was trying his best to sell a wig and some perfume.
There is no such thing as a random item in Africa. <o:p></o:p></div>

couldn't find much about traveling from Malawi to Rwanda via bus. It
could take anywhere from 4-7 days depending on if we got to the borders in
time. We both decided we were up for the challenge and were ready to move on from Nkharta Bay. <o:p></o:p></div>

It
was tough but we had to say our goodbyes to Fiona. She was planning on
returning to Malawi in a couple of weeks to start a job. Only Fiona could walk
into a bar/restaurant/hotel and come out with a job of managing it for 6 weeks.
Congrats, friend! We can't wait to hear all of your stories when we see
you in London in August. <o:p></o:p></div>

and a half hours.<o:p></o:p></div>

Bus
from Mizuzu to the border of Malawi <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This
was supposed to take 5 hours and but our luck would have it that we were on one
of the slowest buses in Africa. We literally didn't go over 30 mph the entire time.
Our 5-hour trip turned into seven. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Those
few hours cost us a border crossing. We had to find a guesthouse and
spend the night in the border town, Karanga. That was definitely not in
the plan. Luckily, a nice taxi driver took us to a guesthouse close to
the bus station. <o:p></o:p></div>

When
the rain cleared, we hopped in a mini-bus crammed to the roof and crossed
the border into Tanzania. It was then another 4-hour bus ride to Mbeya.
We got out of the bus 5 miles too early and had to catch a rickshaw to
the bus station. We promptly bought bus tickets to Dodoma for the
following day to make sure our plans were secured. <o:p></o:p></div>

It
was another early start as the bus departed for Dodoma at 7:00 a.m. The
good thing about this leg of the journey was the landscape. Lush, rolling hills
abound! We even drove through a national park for 50 miles. We saw
elephants, giraffes, hyenas, wild boars and impalas! Unfortunately, the
bus was going at a speed that did not allow for pictures through the
window. <o:p></o:p></div>

The
bad part of this leg of the journey was the lack of food. We wound up
eating a bunch of bananas that we purchased off of a street vendor. That
was all that we ate for the day. Is it bad to consume multiple bananas
throughout the day? <o:p></o:p></div>

arrived in Dodoma around 9:00 p.m. exhausted and hungry. It strange how
tiring it can be sitting on an uncomfortable bus for 9 hours straight. We
were definitely worried about finding a place to stay for the night.<o:p></o:p></div>

We
told the taxi driver we didn't want too spend much on a room. The room
was cheap as dirt. This is what you get for going cheap...a dirty,
squatter toilet was thrown in at no extra charge! <o:p></o:p></div>

When
we checked into this guest house Josh pulled out his passport to give to the
man working. He did not need our passport just our names and what tribe
we belonged to. What tribe? Josh had to think fast on his feet so
he wrote the "Obama" tribe. So in some remote area in Western
Tanzania there's a tribe on record called the Obama tribe with two members.<o:p></o:p></div>

When we arrived in Kigali we went to the Airtell store (cell phone). Josh had purchased a sim card at the border but our phone wouldn't dial any numbers. We went into the store and were greeted by Aisha. She informed us that our cell phone number needed to be connected to a local sponsor. She asked us if we knew anyone in Rwanda. We told her we didn't and she was so generous and offered to sponsor us and used her information so our phone would work. Talk about customer service! She then asked if we had a place to stay. We told her we didn't and that we were on a budget. She insisted that she would show us to a nice place that was affordable for us. She hopped on a motorbike, as did we and showed us to a hotel. We couldn't believe her generosity. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed in Kigali. We actually met up with her the following night and met her family, her cousin, and she took us to a fabulous local restaurant. </div>

She has a heart of gold and is so beautiful on the inside and outside! </div>

All good things must come to an end. It was time for us to head to Egypt so we had to say our farewell wishes to Aisha before we headed to the airport. She surprised us with a present of a painting of traditional dancers from her village in East Rwanda. <br />
<br />
Aisha, you are such a beautiful person and our lives are richer for knowing you. You are a true friend and we miss you and your family so much. You made our time in Rwanda unforgettable. Thank you for all that you did for us. We will think of you and your family every time we look at that picture.<br />

Mambo! (That's Swahili for "what's up?!") Most of the locals will greet the tourists by saying "Jambo" but "mambo" is more informal so we tried to go with that as much as possible. You would then reply by saying "Poa" which means "cool." After that they would something and "Mizouli" as a response would always work. Then they would think we spoke Swahili and then we would smile and be exposed. Tanzanians and all East Africans for that matter are very friendly people. Of course there will always be jerks no matter where you are but we guess that applies to back home too. Enough rambling let's get to our update.</div>

After our strenuous hike up Kilimanjaro we were exhausted and in need of some beach time so we headed off to Zanzibar. Zanzibar is an island off the east coast of Tanzania and we really didn't know much about it before we got there. We took a bus from Moshi to Dar es Salaam to spend the night before heading off to the island. Dar es Salaam is very skippable but a necessary stopover on the way to Zanzibar from Moshi. After our night's stay we were on a boat!</div>

One thing that we learned when we arrived on the island is that Zanzibar is a much bigger island than we thought. We got a contact from the place we stayed at in Moshi for a room. When we called to ask about the price we found out that a hotel called White Sands was a couple of places down. This was perfect because our new friends, Liz and Andrew, from the safari were staying there. We were very excited that were were going to be able to see them again. It's always good to see people that you know on the road.</div>

The owner of the place we were staying, Issa, picked us up at the ferry and we drove an hour to where we were staying in Jambiani on the east coast. After calling Andrew to see where they were we realized there are, in fact, two White Sands on Zanzibar. They were over two hours away! Yup, a bigger island than we thought. Sometimes accidents happening can be blessings in disguise. Issa is such a great guy and he made us feel so welcome in his home and his village. His wife even cooked dinner for us one night. It was a local dish made with octopus that if cooked correctly was very tender and extremely tasty. Obviously, she cooked it correctly.</div>

One day while we were walking on the beach and we ran across a man digging clams out of the water. He immediately started trying to sell us to come eat in his restaurant. There were only a handful of restaurants on the beach so we followed him to his place. He pointed out this sign to us. It says "Karibu Restaurant Village Where You Eat Antil You Say: Hassan, Please Dont Kill Me With Food". Uhhh...this really wasn't the best sign to have outside of your restaurant if you want people to eat there. Don't kill me with me food? He told us a German tourist ate at his restaurant and the portions where big so he told him he was going to kill him because the portions were so big. Josh told him that it didn't exactly translate very well. Nonetheless he sold us on eating at his place because the prices were normal and it was inside his house so it seemed like a good experience.</div>

We originally planned on staying in Stone Town for two days tops but guess what? Hassan's food almost killed Josh. He was laid out for three days straight and didn't leave the room because of food poisoning. You can't say Hassan didn't warn us. Josh thinks it was probably the sickest he's been in years. Leanne even found a bag of very expensive Cheetos to try to get him to eat and he didn't even want those. Josh turning down Cheetos? Yup, something was wrong. After a lot of sleep and days of Leanne wandering around Stone Town by herself he was finally back on his feet.</div>

One thing that we need to say is that we were fairly freaked out about walking around after dark after hearing stories from other travelers. We stayed with Issa's sister and she insisted that it was fine. She was right, it was more than fine walking around and nobody ever bothered us. Stone Town is very safe.</div>

We ate at the fish market every night for dinner along the esplanade of the ocean. Luckily we prepped ourselves by going over every item with Issa's sister on what things should cost. They like to mark up on the tourists so her input saved us quite a bit of money.</div>

In what felt was the blink of the eye we were back in Dar es Salaam at the train station awaiting our LONG train ride to Lusaka, Zambia. We were very excited about the train ride as we had been longing for a nice ride through the East African countryside. We booked a first-class ticket on the Tanzania-Zambia Railway for a 52-hour journey.</div>

Men and women were required to sleep in separate cabins. We didn't realize this until right before we were about to get on the train. We tried to plead our case that we were a married couple but the train had a rule that didn't allow men and women to sleep in the same cabin unless they bought the entire cabin. Of course, that wasn't an option for us so we had to settle on sleeping in separate cabins. We were told we would be able to hang out together during the day so that was good.<br />

While Josh spent some time at the train's bar (that's right, the train had a bar), Leanne bonded with her cabin buddies. They were hilarious women and so nice. They fed us their food and the only way Leanne could repay them was to paint all of their nails!<br />

Leanne's nail salon is open for business! It's tough having a steady hand on a moving train. They were so excited that they went around flashing their freshly painted nails to everyone on the train. These ladies like to PARTY and spent much of the night at the train's bar. Every time Leanne would walk past them they would hug and kiss her, tell her how much they missed her and even nicknamed her "Baby". </div>

Even though men and women were required to sleep separately, sometimes things just happen for a reason. Meet our new buddy, Fiona. She's originally from Northern Ireland but has been living in London for several years. When we boarded the train, Josh saw Fiona and asked her if she would switch cabins with him. We were going to try and outsmart the conductor and make an attempt to sleep in the same cabin. Fiona was originally assigned to Leanne's cabin. She was such a doll and agreed to switch without even thinking twice. We bought her beer as a thank you. That one beer of course turned into several beers and an all night hang out session. Leanne and Fiona quickly became the best of friends and it was like they had known each other for years! </div>

We were told that night that Josh would not be allowed to sleep in the same cart as Leanne. Boo! Fiona moved back in and Josh move over to his original cabin. Josh's roommate was a man from Zambia. He was building a new house and literally had the cabin packed with sinks, concrete and anything else that you would need. In the evenings Josh was forced to snuggle with bags of god knows what. Luckily there enough beers on the train that he was able power through. </div>

It was impossible to ride on the train and not have a big grin on your face the entire time you peered out of the window. Every child, and adult for that matter, came running out with their hands wildly waving and screamed hello and goodbye as the train rolled through their village. It's a treat for the children to see the train because it only comes through twice a week. Leanne's favorite moment was when a tiny boy came running out of his house with both hands waving and his little pants around his ankles. The children were absolutely adorable.<br />

Sad moment of the train ride: Josh finally had to give up on his shorts. We've had them repaired several times all over the world but it was time for Josh to part ways with his favorite shorts. They were ripped in several spots, dirtier than dirt and beyond repair. Leanne told him to make a sad face for this picture and this is what happened. It looks more like a duck face than a sad face. Some little kid wanted the shorts so Josh gave them to him. We are not sure what the heck he will do with them but we are fairly certain he will find a way to fix them up enough to sell them for a few bucks.<br />

Lunch and dinner was chicken and rice...the view was an extra bonus. For $3 this is what we got. We didn't even get tired of it because it actually tasted good. We found ourselves counting down the minutes until the meal cart came around. Lame? Yes! We didn't have any snacks with us so these two meals were the only grub we got. Beers were $1 so the chicken and rice usually had company.<br />

Mbeya - Fiona's stop. We reluctantly said our goodbyes to our new friend but planned to meet back up in the next few days in Malawi.<br />

Wasting time during a 3 hour stop to refuel. What?? How does it take that long to refuel?<br />

We finally made our way down the tracks again only to breakdown for an hour. We were back in business and that night at around 9:00 p.m. we crossed the border into Zambia. It was one of the easiest land border crossings we've had so far. They actually come into your cabin and you just hand over $50 each and you are in.<br />

The remainder of the trip consisted of us reading, relaxing and enjoying the sights. </div>

52 hours later and we arrived at the final stop. The final stop was a small town 4 hours outside of Lusaka, Zambia. We shared a taxi with some fellow train passengers. We arrived in Lusaka around 9:00 p.m. that night. It was a long journey and we were excited to lay our heads down on some pillows and were even more excited that we were able to get a place with a double bed. It's the little things in life!</div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">After our
safari, we had a day and a half to rest and prepare for our Mount Kilimanjaro
trek. There are several trekking options that range in length and
difficulty. We chose a 6-day, 5-night trek on the Machame Route. The
Machame Route is one of the more challenging routes and we really wanted to
push ourselves. We would have preferred to take a longer trek but we were working
on a budget and it was just too expensive. We decided not to join a group
as it really didn't save us that much money and we wanted a more personal
experience with the mountain at our own pace. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">We booked our
trek through our bed and breakfast (Tembo Tamu in Moshi - look them up on
Tripadvisor) and went about as budget as you could go. Sandra and Frank were
more than generous with letting us borrow any items that we needed and even
gave us a discount for booking both our safari and trek with them. However,
there is truly no way to hike this mountain on a budget. We knew that
going into the hike so we were completely fine with the splurge. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">The government
charges a ridiculous amount in camping fees and permits (for 6-days over
$760 per person). They also require everyone to have a minimum of
the following trekking crew members:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Hiking Mount
Kilimanjaro is a totally different experience than hiking to Mount Everest Base
Camp. There is no comparing the two. There are no guesthouses or
restaurants on this trail...only tents and outdoor toilets. The porters must
carry everything from tents, to food, to sleeping bags...basically everything
you would need during your trek. The cook makes all meals for you and
your crew sets up and breaks down your tent each day. Even though we went as
cheap as you could go we still felt spoiled. At first we were a bit
uncomfortable with so many people taking care of us and carrying our things for
us but since it was the way of the mountain we quickly accepted it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">The government
sets a limit of 15 kgs (33 lbs) per porter. We were responsible for carrying a
day pack and 3 liters of water each. We went really light with our
packing and we were still required to have 7 porters between the two of us.
Some of our fellow trekkers had even more porters than us. It's the
government's way of stimulating the economy so we had no choice but to accept
it and if it means a job for the locals than we are all for it. Side note:
Each trekker is required to tip every crew member so we knew exactly what was
going on when they added a porter at the last minute. We went with a
company that paid above standard salaries to the crew members but we were asked
to tip quite generously at the end (over $550 for the two of us). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">One of the
best things about the trek being so costly is that it limits the amount of
hiking traffic. Is was stated that around 55,000 people climb the
mountain annually. That is roughly the same amount of people that climb
to Mount Everest Base Camp in the month of October alone. Everyone who comes to
climb Mount Kilimanjaro is extremely dedicated and determined to summit the
mountain. Your crew will do anything and everything to get you to the top
of the mountain. The experience is well worth the money!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">We headed to
the trail gate after breakfast. First, we made a stop at a local butcher
shop for fresh meat for the first few days on the trail. That's about as
fresh as it gets! To all of our vegetarian friends...look away! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">It was around
noon before we set foot on the trail. The number one rule when climbing
Mount Kilimanjaro is "pole pole" which means slowly. Your
guide, assistant guide and porters repeat "pole pole" all day and
every day. When they say slowly, they mean SLOWLY. The first day we
were hiking at a painfully slow rate. It was so slow that at times we
felt like we were going backwards. You have to check your ego at the door
when hiking this mountain. We followed the advice of our Kili posse and
slowly put one foot in front of the other. Day one of the hike is about 4
hours through lush rain forest on a fairly well maintained trail. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">The start of
the rainy season is April. We knew we were pushing our luck with hiking
mid-March but we crossed our fingers that we would have dry weather.
Before we left for our hike, we met a guy that said the Farmer's Almanac
called for rain on March 8th, 9th and 10th. Guess that almanac was right
because it rained all three of those days. We put our ponchos on and
smiled through the rain. There was no such thing as raining on this
parade! Lucky for us, the rain went as fast as it came the first day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

These ravens wanted some of our fried chicken. You had to have eyes in the back of your head to make sure they didn't get their grubby little beaks on your food.<br />

Day two greeted us with some fierce rain showers. Darn that almanac! We spent about 2 hours waiting out the rain in our tent. <br />

Finally, the rain ceased, the clouds parted and we strapped on our shoes for a short hike for additional acclimatization.<br />

There are no late nights on the mountain. We were zipped in our tent and asleep by 9:00 pm every night.<br />
<br />
The next morning, Leanne sat for a few minutes to watch an incredible sunrise. <br />

Low and behold, look what was right behind our tent??? A gorgeous view of Mount Kilimanjaro! We couldn't see this view the day before because of all the clouds. Poor Victor was sick so Josh gave him some of our medicine.<br />

We made it without a sign of a headache. Pole pole is the key to great success on the mountain. Also, drinking 3 liters of water helps too. Leanne went to the "bathroom" more than she had ever gone to the bathroom in a 5 hour stretch.<br />

Lunch break <br />
<br />
Leanne has evolved so much on this trip. Before our adventures, she wouldn't dare touch meat on the bone. She was such a meat on bone snob! Now she gets her hands greasy and even eats a few bites before handing it off to Josh to finish up. Team work!<br />

This tree, the name escapes us, reminded us of a Joshua Tree. There were valleys of these trees everywhere and they were extremely beautiful. We have taken a little too long admiring them because the rain opened up on us for the last 20 minutes or so of our hike. We were absolutely soaked from head to toe.<br />

We got an earlier start than everyone else at the campsite. The beginning of the day four trek required some scrambling up a narrow path so Anthony wanted us to have a head start on all of the porters. Despite the guys attempt at drying our shoes, they were still soaking wet. We couldn't wait for the sun to make it over our way to dry out our feet.<br />

A hot lunch on the side of the mountain? These guys are too good to us. We were spoiled, spoiled. spoiled!!! The 7-day Machame Route trekkers stopped at this point to camp for the night. Since we were on the 6-day track, continued climbing after refueling. Barafu camp or bust!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">We hit the
trail at 11:40 pm and were wondering what we were getting ourselves into.
It was the middle of the night, pitch black, our camera was on the fritz
and our fingers were frozen so obviously we didn't get very many pictures.
As we labored to the top our guide and assistant guide sang African songs
to us to keep our spirits up. Leanne was having trouble catching her
breath and we both were starting to feel the effects of the altitude.
There was no way that we were going to stop though.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">The hardest
part of the trip was seeing a dark ridge in the beginning of our trip that
never seemed to get closer. We were climbing with two other groups and
using each other as marks on where to stop and rest. After about four
hours of seeing this ridge in the distance we finally noticed the top of the
ridge getting higher and we were at the top of the ridge! This was Stella
Point, elevation 18, 829 feet (5,739 meters). Everybody in our little
group was feeling pretty terrible but very excited because we could see the top
of the mountain and were only 200 meters away. The rest of the climbers
took a rest but Leanne was feeling the adrenaline so Josh kept going with her.
On the final push towards the top we started to think, "Wait, 200
meters is still over 650 feet." We just put our heads down as the
first light started to peak over the distant horizon. At 5:55 AM we summited
and were the first group of our campsite to summit. Leanne's eyes welled up
with crocodile tears and she started to cry and Josh choked up when he saw her
crying. The mountain seemed to have some sort of power to evoke emotions
that we never even knew were there. Climbing and being barely able to
breathe gives you a lot of time to do nothing but think. All the things
we had been thinking on the way up came out and it was very emotional for us.
The reasons why we did this and the journey to get here. Not just
the climbing journey but the actual journey of being in Africa. Mount
Kilimanjaro is why we came here. Our minds were filled with memories of
friends and family we've lost before the trip and Josh's Aunt that he lost last
year while we were on our trip...not to mention all the friends and family we
left and miss so much. Of course Leanne's lifelong dream of climbing the
mountain poured out as well. You can see by reading this little section
that there was a flood of emotions and feelings flowing out at once...we made
it! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

We were getting our pep in our step back and our headaches and nausea was
subsiding. </span><!--EndFragment-->

guys were great and serenaded us with traditional African songs and dance moves
at 6:45 am. Yes, they do this for all trekkers but it was still special
and we appreciated their spirit. We were very fortunate to have such a
great crew. The Kili Posse have been friends for over 10 years and work
together on each of their treks. While other trekkers didn't even get a chance
to meet their crew, we ate dinner in their tent and laughed and exchanged
stories with ours. They definitely made our trip more memorable and we
can't thank them enough for that.</span><!--EndFragment-->

Dear Family, Friends and Followers,<br />
<br />
We apologize for our delay in posting but we have not had a
reliable source of internet for over a month and a half. We are minimalists and don't have a fancy phone with internet access so we must rely on wifi. We have
been making our way across Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Malawi and Rwanda and the internet sources have been few and far between. It’s
been such an amazing adventure and we can't wait to catch up on the past month and a half of experiences. Let's get started on post one of four to come. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
There were two main reasons for our journey to the vast
continent of Africa 1) To take a safari in the Serengeti and 2) To summit Mount
Kilimanjaro. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Josh had a few days under his belt with his new rootless
tooth and all was going well so we decided to take a bus journey across the
border from Kenya to Tanzania. Leanne
searched the internet for a reputable bus company. We called the owner and
booked two seats for the bus that would head out at 7:00 am the following
day. We crossed our fingers that it was
a legitimate company. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Side note: It's funny, the longer we travel the more we throw an "ish" on the end of words to describe things. Here are some common quotes and favorite words that we have come up with along our journey:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
The room looks cleanish.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
That company seems legitish.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
The food tasted normalish.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
It's dirtyish but we can make it work.<br />
The water looks safeish to drink.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
That person appears to be scammyish.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
The following morning we were picked up from our hotel on
time, dropped off at the correct bus station (more like an area with an
assortment of buses) and climbed aboard the mini bus to make our way to Moshi,
Tanzania. We had to pinch ourselves
because we couldn’t believe we were riding through Africa!</div>

After one bus change in Arusha and an eight-hour journey we
made it safe and sound to Moshi. The
word moshi is Swahili for "smoke". Often
times the clouds around Mount Kilimanjaro resemble puffs of smoke and prohibit
you from catching a glimpse of the glorious mountain. We were lucky enough to feast our
eyes on this beautiful sight just outside our door of the bed and breakfast we
were staying at. Mount Kilimanjaro is
the highest freestanding mountain in the world. It’s a breathtaking, snow-capped wonder! We began picturing in our minds what it would be like to climb
that mountain.</div>

Random side note: Coca-Cola is VERY popular throughout Africa. Josh loves Coca-Cola but since his teeth have started to fall apart he has significantly reduced his intake. He actually gets a little depressed when he remembers his fonder Coca-Cola filled days. Yes, we know, it's bad for you and blah, blah, blah but sometimes there is nothing like a cold, bubbly Coke! Keep it up Africa!</div>

We spent the first few days in Moshi pricing out Kilimanjaro treks.
We thought we would be able to save some money by booking on arrival rather
than ahead of time online. It worked for
us on the Everest Base Camp trek so we were crossing our fingers that we would
find the same would be true for the Mount Kilimanjaro trek. After countless
hours of research and speaking with several different trekking companies, it
turns out that you don’t save that much money by booking a trek when arriving
in Moshi because the park fees are so expensive. However, you can save a few hundred dollars
and as the saying goes, “a dollar saved is a dollar earned.”<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Sandra, the owner of the bed and breakfast, quoted us a fair
price and was willing to let us borrow any equipment that we needed so we
decided to book our trek through her trekking company. We had our mind made up
to start our trek 2 days from our arrival into Moshi and then book our safari
upon our return from our trek but Sandra threw us a curve ball. She received a call from a friend that a
couple was looking to share a 4-day camping safari to Lake Manyara, the
Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater and planned to leave in two days. Oh the
dilemmas of traveling! Sometimes it can be tough to find other people to share
the cost of a safari so we decided to jump on the opportunity. You never can get your heart set on plans
when you are traveling. Flexibility is the name of the game when you are on the
road. Besides, tourist adventures in
Africa are extremely expensive so we welcomed any chance at saving some money.<o:p></o:p></div>

As we drove, we wondered what this other couple would be
like since we were about to spend the next 4 days and 3 nights sharing close
quarters. Would we get along? Would we
have anything in common? We decided that
we could handle anything for 4 days. We generally get along with the majority
of the people we have met along our travels so we were certain we would have a
good time with our new safari buddies. <o:p></o:p></div>

Andrew and Liz were great! They were both teachers in Seoul, Korea
(Andrew for 8 years and Liz for 5 years) and had quit their teaching jobs to
travel around the world for 15 months before heading back to the States. We
connected instantly and spent time exchanging funny travel stories and
experiences. During the safari we
celebrated our travel anniversaries. We celebrated 1 year on the road while
they celebrated 6 months on the road. There were a lot of beers and cheers over
the next few days with our new friends.<o:p></o:p></div>

Traveling on tours in Africa is a bit more luxurious than
other areas of the world. You have a driver/guide as well as a
cook during a safari. They set up your tents each day and made delicious meals. It felt strange at first to be catered to so much but we quickly got used to the royal treatment. Albert was our guide and he knew his animals, especially birds. He had a passion for birds and even his ringtone on his phone was of an African Fish Eagle. He could tell you the name of any bird, even ones that were far off in the distance. He was an awesome guide and driver! <o:p></o:p></div>

A rainbow to end the day is not a bad first day! We saw tons of baboons, various monkeys, zebras, impalas, wilder beasts, buffalo, giraffes, wild boars, hippos, crown cranes, eagles and elephants. We might have missed listing a few others but it was a wonderful start to our safari. Don't worry, we have plenty of pictures below of all the animals that we saw during our 4-day safari. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
On the drive to the park we saw these two street stalls. Liz and Andrew informed us that these stalls were actually in the last season of The Amazing Race. The contestants received clues from these vendors. We haven't watched much T.V. over the past year but we still thought it was cool and took a picture. Apparently, they spelled Clinton incorrectly and had to fix it for the show. </div>

As soon as we crossed the gate we were greeted by a pregnant hyena. It was incredible to see a hyena so close let alone a pregnant one. We don't want to offend you, hyena, but you are a disgusting animal. She had snot dripping from her nose and was covered with dirt. She was so gross that we actually found her to be cute. </div>

Liz attempted to ask our guide about the equality of women in the village. She was answered with a big laugh instead of an answer. The Masai have their own traditional views of men and women's roles. There was something odd about the ratio of men to women. Each male had several wives. We asked questions but the guide brushed them off by saying that the ratio was even. We disagreed. It is part of the tradition that the men of the tribe are circumcised at the age of 13 and left to fend for themselves in the woods for 3 months. We have a sneaking suspicion that this might have something to do with the odd ratio.<br />

Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest inactive, intact and unfilled volcanic caldera (feature formed by the collapse of land following a volcanic eruption). It is a perfect balance of prey and predator. Nothing gets out of the crater and nothing comes into the crater. The weather is the same year round so there is no migration that takes place. It's a spectacular sight. </div>

As we drove around the crater we noticed a line of safari vehicles off in the distant. At first we thought it was a parking lot but as we got closer we realized that everyone was looking at something. We knew it must be something good because of the attention it was drawing. Albert made his way there for a closer look.</div>

When we got there we noticed a pride of lions and two buffaloes off in the distance. One buffalo was sitting on the ground and was already critically injured while the other appeared to be fending off the pride of lions. Albert said "You are lucky because you are witnessing a big five hunting another big five". This is something you don't see at the crater everyday. </div>

It was truly an emotional scene. The buffaloes were both male. The buffalo on the ground was having a tough time getting up while his buddy was desperately trying to fight off the pride. It was actually a really sad moment when the buddy of the injured buffalo came to the realization that there was nothing further he could do. He put his head down and walked away without turning around.</div>

We were trying to locate the male when we looked over at one of the jeeps and he was relaxing right next to them! He was just sitting back and watching the show. We went ahead and jockeyed for a better position closer to the action.</div>

Once the buffalo's buddy left the pride of seven lions moved in for the kill. Although it is the circle of life it was upsetting. This is something that you see on tv so we couldn't stop watching.</div>

There were two male cubs in the pride and Albert said that they were proving themselves to the older male lion who was sleeping by the jeeps. He also said that they probably hadn't eaten in over a week so they were certainly hungry. The whole process took about 5 hours but we watched for about an hour. When we drove away the buffalo was on the ground so we left in a somber mood. We needed to move along to find the last member of the big five. The rhino!</div>

Hello Family, Friends and Followers,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's been a while since we've caught up. We're in Africa and it's proven difficult in the internet arena. Plus, it's hard to get the motivation to write these posts and keep going sometimes. Ultimately, the blog is for us to look back on in the future but any encouragement in the meantime is appreciated. We're very far behind but will try to catch up. </div>

We last left off making a beeline out of Udaipur headed to Aurangabad to check out some caves. Our travel to Aurangabad included 3 different buses and a 23-hour jaunt. All was going well until around 1:00 am when the stomach monster visited Leanne. The bus hadn't stopped in over 5 hours for a restroom break and there wasn't a stop planned for another few hours. Leanne did what anyone would do in this situation. She grabbed her head lamp, jumped down for the sleeper bed, crawled over 20 sleeping people on the bus floor and pleaded with the bus driver to make an emergency stop. By pleading, we mean she said "toliet, please" several times in a voice quivering with panic. The bus driver told her to climb in the driver's quarters of the bus and wait for 10 minutes until he could pull off of the side of the road for a "natural toilet." That was the longest 10 minutes of Leanne's life. He pulled off the road and said "sorry, you must go in the natural toilet." Within a flash, Leanne said "no problem" and bolted off of the bus with just the light of her headlamp. Leanne would like to give her apologies to that little gathering of houses that the bus driver pulled off at. Darn that "Delhi Belly" syndrome. Sorry, was that too much information? We just want to make sure we are painting the true picture for traveling in India. We met a couple that said "If you both haven't pooped your pants, you haven't traveled India." As funny as that may sound we are happy to say that at least we don't fall into that category. </div>

Luckily, the stomach bug didn't last long and we were making our way around Aurangabad like old pros. We opted to take the local bus to the Ajanta caves to save some money. It was a bit of a pain figuring out which bus to get on but we were all smiles when we finally realized we had made the right decision about 20 minutes into the ride. </div>

After two hours, we made it to the Ajanta caves. This badminton team's coach desperately wanted them to take a picture with us. The girls faces were plastered with wide smiles, that is until we actually took the picture. They all put on their serious game faces as soon as we said "Say cheese. "</div>

The Ajanta caves are about 30 rock-cut Buddhist caves which date from 2nd century BC to about 480-650 AD. In 1983 they were named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The caves are cut into the side of a cliff and form a U-shape. The caves were Buddhist monasteries used for teaching and living, which is apparent from the impressive architecture and beautifully unique paintings. During its prime, the area was said to accommodate several hundred monks and pupils. It was left undiscovered for several centuries when the forest grew back and hid the caves. In 1819, a British officer by the name of John Smith, stumbled upon the caves while out tiger hunting. Within a few decades of its rediscovery, the caves became famous. The caves are truly a site to behold and it's easy to get lost in the history.<br />

The caves were dimly lit to preserve as much of its integrity as possible. We were allowed to us our headlamps for additional lighting.<br />

For around $16 you could have some guys carry you around in a chair. They wanted us to pay them to take a picture in the chair. Instead, we decided it would be fun to carry them around for a change! This guy loved his ride.<br />

We did one last lap around the cave and expressed our gratitude for the opportunity to experience something so moving and historical.<br />

The next day we shared a car with two Indian residents and visited some local sites including the Ellora Caves. We made a pit stop at a fort. We had seen so many forts that we decided to sit this one out and brush up on our history of the Ellora caves.<br />

We stopped at temple that required all of the men to take of their shirts. Himanshu insisted that we go into this temple. Why do all the men take off their shirts, you ask? We have no idea and we didn't get an answer when we asked either. Josh was reluctant to participate at first but decided to "When in India!" it instead.<br />

<br />
After the men put their shirts back on and several backseat picture taking moments, we made it to the Ellora caves. The Ellora Caves were built between the 5th and 10th century and are also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These caves have a combination of Buddhist, Jain and Hindu influence and are focused on architecture and carvings rather than paintings and murals.<br />
<br />
Cave number 16 is the unrivaled centerpiece of Ellora. It was carved out of one single rock and it covers and area double the size of the Parthenon in Athens!<br />

It was a wonderful day of sightseeing. To top it all off, we had some local buddies meet up with us at night. While on the bus ride from the Ajanta Caves back to Aurangabad, Leanne chatted it up with Vishal (guy with the glasses) for almost the entire 2-hour ride. He was so thrilled to meet us that he and his friends hung out with us for our last night in Aurangabad. In some of our prior posts we were beginning to get a little crabby with our visit to India. Vishal and his buds reaffirmed our love for India and its people. Thanks guys!<br />

Since we are on the topic of amazing people, it's the perfect time to talk about why we were headed to Mumbai. We mentioned during our Delhi post that we got an extension on our visa to attend our friend's wedding. We were thrilled as we made our way to Mumbai to partake in Pashmina and Guv's wedding celebrations. We had a couple of days to do some sightseeing in Mumbai before all of the wedding fun began.<br />
<br />
We had lunch at Leopold's Cafe. It's a famous restaurant for tourists and was one of the first sites attacked during the November 2008 Mumbai attacks. The restaurant was reopened a mere 4 days after the brutal attacks but was closed by police within two hours due to the unexpected size of the crowds that gathered. It's still a popular spot for tourists despite its gruesome past.<br />

There are bullet holes in the walls as a reminder of the horrible incident that took place there. Yes, it's sounds morbid to visit a place that was part of a terrorist attack but it's history.<br />

From Leopold's we visited the India Gate. Let us introduce you to Pashmina's friends and our new great group of friends too. From left, Amie (representing Denver), Jennifer (representing Denver), Johanna (representing New York) and Matt (representing Denver). We were like the six amigos for a week straight! We were instant friends and it was like we had all known each other for years. We did some intense shopping for traditional Indian clothing to wear to the wedding events and if that doesn't break you, nothing will.<br />

Let the wedding events begin!<br />
<br />
Indian weddings are full of family, friends and fun. Pash put it best when she wrote us "Officially there are 3 events, but unofficially part of the wedding fun is that we spend a lot of time together, before, after and during. Indian weddings are the anti-thesis to alone time. Even for the couple!"<br />
<br />
First Official Event: Hollywood/Bollywood Welcome Dinner<br />
<br />
(Side note: We attended an unofficial welcome dinner at a delicious chinese restaurant but we were too busy stuffing our faces to take pictures.)<br />
<br />
Here's the beautiful couple and the reason we were all in Mumbai together. Let's celebrate some love!<br />
<br />
Pash = gorgeous<br />
Guv = handsome<br />
Pash + Guv - one darn good looking combination<br />
<br />

Josh gives them two thumbs up! On a side note, Josh got his beard shaped for the festivities. Doesn't he look handsome? Sometimes, when he looks at himself in the mirror, he doesn't recognize the man staring back. It's amazing what 13 months on the road can do to a man. (Amendment by Josh: Leanne wrote this.)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
During the day the ladies gathered in Pashmina's suite for a henna party. Pashmina's mendhi was so elaborate and exquisite it took over 3 hours to finish. It even included secret messages to the groom. </div>

The ladies had a turn at it too. Since Leanne was a little girl she had an aversion to any ink on her hands. If she accidently was marked with ink, she would scrub her hands raw until it came off. She put her fears aside for the occasion and let the artists go to town. </div>

It was unbelievable work. The longer you take care of the mehndi, the longer it stays on your hands. Leanne did her best to keep it as long as she could. She even received compliments in Ethiopia and Kenya that it was some of the best Mehndi people had ever seen! Kuddos to your artists, Pash! </div>

We wanted to say another thank you to Pash and Guv for allowing us to be a part of your wedding festivities. It was truly and honor to be a part of everything. It was one of the highlights of our trip. We will forever cherish our times in Mumbai and can't wait to see you again!! Guv, practice saying y'all and remember, no matter how much you hate it, football is now called soccer.</div>

We arrived in Nairobi and passed by a park with hundreds of thousands of people in it. We didn't want to pull out our camera so we just used the newspaper article from the next day. The elections were coming up and it turns out that people were praying for peaceful elections. In the last election there were major riots and the entire country almost went down the drain. Many people told us to leave the country by the time the elections took place so we planned on it.</div>

One thing that needed to be done first was some dental work for Josh. During the reception in India, Josh was doubled over with pain but didn't want to miss any of the action so he powered through it. The pain was excruciating but he made it through. We got a recommendation for a dentist at the hotel we were staying and made an appointment.</div>

It turned out that Josh needed a root canal. A root canal in Africa?! Oh boy, this is something that would have been beyond our wildest imaginations a year ago but here we were. Dr. Mwenge turned out to be great and after two visits everything was fixed. It has been weeks now with no problems so we think we're in the clear. Josh says you haven't really experienced Africa unless you've had a root canal. Leanne vehemently disagrees with this. In either case, the dentist did a great job and if you find yourself in Nairobi needing dental work reach out to us for contact information. Who knows, maybe Africa will be the next hotspot for dental tourism?</div>

Fish and chips stands are really fried chicken and fries stands. They are everywhere and they are delicious. It was so good to eat protein again. After two-and-a-half months of vegetarian dishes we were ready and ate fried chicken several times. Leanne doesn't even eat fried chicken but she loved it. They slow roast it and then when you order they drop it into a fryer with no batter. It comes out tender and juicy. It reminds us of a fried turkey at Thanksgiving.</div>

Hello Family, Friends and Followers!<br />
<br />
We left off last time getting an emergency ticket out of Varanassi to Jaipur. That 22-hour train ride to Jaipur was complete bliss since we knew things couldn't be any worse than what we had just experienced.<br />
<br />
Jaipur, known as "The Pink City" is absolutely lovely and part of the Golden Triangle circuit (along with Delhi and Agra). It is known for its textiles and silver, neither of which were purchased by us but it was still fun to look at. Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan so it was fitting that this is where we would begin the next few weeks touring through the state.<br />

Our first stop was a visit to Jantar Mantar. Jantar Mantar is a world heritage sight and is most famous for its sun clock. There were so many instruments there that were used for calculating times, stars, and seasons. This place was a nerd's paradise. After a little while we just decided to take as many pictures as we could rather than try to figure it all out.<br />

Later on that night, we made our way to one of the most famous Bollywood theaters in India, The Raj Mandir. The Raj Mandir seats 1,200 people and the crowd is known to get into the movie. There were no subtitles but we figured as long as we stick to action movies we'd be able to figure it out. Yeah, we were right. Good guy dies...no he doesn't! Good guy really dies this time...ohhhh...no he doesn't! Good guy really, really dies this time...this went on like this for about 10 twists and turns until the movie ended. The audience was screaming and ooohing and ahhhing at every twist. There's no way they didn't know this was how the movie was going to end. It was so absurdly cliche, they just didn't care. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and headed home for the evening.</div>

The walls of the fort were in complete disrepair but there were almost no tourists so we had the place to ourselves. We stayed there for hours listening to the sounds and daydreaming. Josh had his binoculars so we sat overlooking the city. We loved watching the rickshaws race around the camels. Not sure why we liked it so much but it was good entertainment</div>

The only bad thing about going to this fort was that there was no way back. We cut our rickshaw loose because he wanted us to pay him to wait for us. We were able to catch a rickshaw that was waiting for his clients to visit the fort. We felt like he was cheating on them by sneaking a quick fare out of us but we saw our opportunity and took it. We got a ride a about 7 km (4.5 miles) down the road to another fort and then walked the remaining 5 km (3 miles) to the bus station to get back into town. We had to walk through Jaigarh Fort which supposedly has the biggest cannon in the world or Asia or something like that but everybody we asked made it sound grander and grander. We saw the cannon and it was like the end of the Wizard of Oz. We just moved along and let them live with their supposedly big cannon.</div>

The next morning we hopped on a train heading to Ranthambhore National Park. Ranthambhore is supposedly the place where your chances are the best to see a tiger in the wild. This was a big, big risk for us because we were running out of time and monetarily it was a big investment for these two budget travelers. Also, seeing tigers in the wild is a very difficult thing to do because they're near extinction. Josh's parents sent us some money for Christmas that we were waiting for a good time to use. Now would be a good time so we pulled the trigger and headed down. We planned on doing three safaris and hoped for the best. Everybody who knows Josh knows how crazy he is about tigers. The huge tiger oil painting that he grew up with? Yeah, some of you have seen that beauty. When we arrived we heard that no tigers had been spotted for eight days so that made us a little nervous. Still, we both put on our tiger shirts and hit the park at 4:30 in the morning.</div>

We saw one and then in the reflection of the pond we saw another! It was a mother and her cub! It was a BIG male cub but a cub nonetheless.</div>

Now would be a good time to talk about two of our new friends, Marcela and Yash. Yash and Josh sound really similar so both guys were confused as to who we were speaking to throughout the day. Marcela is from Brazil and Yash is from India. We met this great couple while we were waiting in line for the safari at 4:30 am. Yash was such a help to us because he did all of the talking to get our jeep booked. We can't thank you enough, Yash! He taught us the ropes so we could return the favor and help out other tourists when we booked our second safari the following day. Paying it forward!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A fun tip about Yash is that he has never even taken a sip of Chai tea and he has grown up his entire life in India! That must be some sort of record. We tried hard to get him to break that life streak but we were not successful. Marcela is such a sweetie and has been working in India for the past 6 months. It was as if Leanne and Marcela had been friends for life. We instantly clicked with these two and wound up spending all day together and grabbing dinner before they headed off on an overnight train. We look forward to seeing you both again in Brazil!</div>

Tiger jeep safari take two!<br />
<br />
Since Yash taught us how to book the jeep, we helped out two Hungarian guys and two French girls book their jeep safaris too. This is a picture of the calm before the storm. Shortly after this picture was taken, a crowd of over 50 people swarmed the gates to begin the booking process. If you're reading this to do research on the park, we would suggest going straight to the ticket window. You can save a lot of money and will be on the same tour as if you booked it through your hotel...without the fees.<br />

This time around we were sharing our jeep with two older couples that were bird lovers. They were so excited when they saw this eagle that they screamed. We thought it was a tiger but it was this guy instead. It was cool to see the eagle but we don't think the eagle was as excited to see us. It leaned over, took a big poop, and flew away. Somehow, this was also thrilling for the bird watchers. They were so overjoyed that they actually captured this beautiful moment on their gigantic cameras. Oh well, to each their own.</div>

Udaipur is known as the city of lakes. It has the nickname "The Venice of India". On the surface it looks very pretty and the James Bond film, Octopussy, was actually filmed here. Underneath all the beauty lies a seedy city filled with scammers looking to get one over on you. Josh thinks the entire town should be flushed down the toilet. Is that too harsh? Go write your own blog, this place was terrible. Worst place of our entire trip so far. Congratulations citizens of Udaipur, keep trying to rip off every tourist that steps foot in your little trap and see how that works out in the long run. We're bitter because we got caught in the trap but don't want to go into it any further. It wasn't a big deal but it was really wrong what they did to us. It was funny how everybody leaving felt the same way as us. Despite our bitterness we'll include some pretty pictures of the town.</div>

Hello Friends and Family!<br />
<br />
We are still a little behind on our blog because of the constant traveling around and lack of internet here. When we left off last time we were leaving the warmth and comfort of the Southern beaches and heading to the winter bite of the Delhi air. We were welcomed to Delhi with a torrential downpour. Luckily, the rain only lasted one day. <br />
<br />

Delhi has quite the negative stigma to it. Between the recent news of the awful rape and tragic death of a young university student to the frequent cases of what's known as "Delhi belly" to overall scams and the harsh atmosphere of the city life this place is known to have it all. We were prepared to be on guard at all times.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

We decided to stay close to the airport during our visit to Delhi because of its convenient access to the sights of the city and the Foreign Regional Registration Office (FRRO). Luckily, we weren't staying at this hotel. </div>

Our main reason for traveling to Delhi was to get an extension on our visa. Yes, we said extension. This is why we wanted to be close to the FRRO. We were invited to the wedding celebration of our friend, Pashmina, but her wedding is on February 20th -24th and our visa was set to expire on the 8th. Yikes! We had applied for our Indian visa while we were in Nepal and at the time we only planned to stay in India for a month and a half. Pashmina so graciously invited us to her wedding but it was right after we applied for our Indian visa. It's was quite the honor to be invited to her wedding so we made it our mission to figure out how to get an extension on our visa. When there's a will there's a way. It wasn't an easy task though! It took us 5 different trips to the FRRO, pleading our case with 4 different people, a lot of winking, eyelash batting and wide smiles on Leanne's part but we are happy to report that we got the extension! We can't wait to attend your wedding, Pash!</div>

With the stress of applying for a visa extension behind us, we took in the sights and scenes of Delhi. Believe it or not, there's actually beauty amongst the grittiness of the city.<br />
<br />
Qutab Minar - old Indian ruins including India's oldest mosque<br />

This cute Colombian couple said Josh looked just like one of the most famous singers in Colombia, Carlos Vives. They couldn't wait to pose for a picture with Josh, the look-a-like. They told Leanne that she is a very lucky lady and if we travel to Colombia we should be careful because the ladies will be all over Josh. This made Josh feel very uncomfortable.<br />

<br />
We were apprehensive of Delhi but it was a pleasant surprise for us. The auto-rickshaw (tuk-tuk) drivers set fair prices and we actually enjoyed our week there.<br />
<br />
Next stop... Agra, home of the Taj Mahal, one of the most desirable destinations in India.<br />
<br />
The Taj Mahal was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife. He was heartbroken when she died giving birth to her 14th child. Yes, 14th child! He had the Taj Mahal built as a mausoleum for her and was later laid to rest beside her. It is one of the largest structures ever built in the name of love. Talk about romantic! It is constructed of white marble and it took over 20 years to build. It is widely recognized as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage." It was truly a sight to see and we were awe struck by it.<br />
<br />
Before we show you a glimpse of its beauty let us explain our arrival in Agra. We were completely exhausted after arriving in Agra. We took a 6:00 am train ride in general class (an experience in itself). By this point in our travels in India, we managed to figure out that there are pre-paid, auto-rickshaw stands outside of the train stations that supposedly set a fair price. We didn't have a place to stay yet but we knew the area we wanted to stay in. Of course, we were given an aggressive driver at the pre-paid stand. They harp on tourists in hopes of taking them to some guesthouse that pays them commission. We've become pros at fighting off all of their attempts to take us to some random place for commission.<br />
<br />
We did have a funny conversation with our scammer, er, driver. It went a little something like this:<br />
<br />
Driver: "Welcome to Agra."<br />
Us: "Thanks."<br />
Driver: "I take you to nice guesthouse. Cheap price."<br />
Us: "No thank you. Please just drop us off in Taj Ganj."<br />
Driver: "Okay, okay. You married? How long?"<br />
Us: "Yes. A little over 3 years. "<br />
Driver: "You have babies?"<br />
Us: "Not yet but maybe in the next few years."<br />
Driver (to Josh): You seem strong but you can't make baby? What is wrong with you? Do you have health issues? (To Leanne) Are you sure he doesn't have health issues?"<br />
Us (laughing): "We are pretty sure about that."<br />
Driver: "Sure. I bring you to nice place."<br />
Us: "Please just drop us off where we requested."<br />
Driver (anger in his voice): "This is Taj Ganj. You get out here."<br />
Us: "Thanks." (under our breath) "For nothing."<br />
<br />
The driver dropped us off 2 miles from where we wanted to go because he was angry with us. We found our way to Taj Gang despite his efforts to make us stay in some dumpier area of town.<br />
<br />
Agra may contain one of the most beautiful monuments but the town sure is dirty and dumpy. Josh went to check out a cheap room. It was a complete dump of a room but the view from the window sold us.<br />

Ahh...nothing like having some Chai with the Taj. We found ourselves staring at it, completely captivated by of its magnificence and the love that it symbolizes.<br />

<br />
We put the Taj Mahal on hold until the following day. It costs almost $15 per person to get in so we wanted to spend as much time as we could there. When you are on a tight budget, every dollar spent at monuments should count.<br />
<br />
Leanne struck up a conversation while we were at lunch with Yo, a nice guy from Belgium. We shared an auto-richsaw for the remainder of the day to take in some scenes of Agra.<br />

Changing gears to some honest words of traveling in India for a second...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Besides the lack of internet stability there's also another reason why our posts have been sporadic during our travels in India. Traveling in India is tough and it's hard for us to put our travels into words. We mean really, really tough at times. It's virtually impossible to book train tickets without jumping through all kinds of hoops or settling for the lowest class train ticket just to get to the next destination. Also, there are a lot of desperate people in India which means there are a lot of scams and people looking to rip you off. It's a daily struggle of people trying to rip you off and take advantage of you at every turn. Obviously, it isn't always the case but make no mistake, you are a walking dollar sign most of the time. If you want to buy a bottle of water you have to check the price, if you want to go to the bathroom you have to check the price. It can be miserable at times. People ask us all the time "Is it as great as it looks?" The answer to this is HELL NO. It completely and totally sucks some times. The streets are riddled with trash and filth and it is actually disgusting in some parts. We have witnessed countless children and grown adults relieving themselves (number 2 style) in the streets. Many nights we have had to skip dinner because we're trying to stay on budget not to mentioned we are worried about the cleanliness of the restaurants in smaller towns. Not being able to figure out what anything is or items that look like a major source of food poisoning isn't fun at all. If you're ever in the mood to not only step out of your comfort zone, but fly out of it with a rocket launcher attached to your back come check out India. Don't get us wrong we're enjoying ourselves and learning a ton but like we said, it's tough at times. Even with the tough times, our sense of wonder has not diminished. </div>

It was another frigid 18-hour night on the sleeper train as we made our way to Varanasi with our buddy, Neil. During our 18-hour trip we made a stop in Allabahabad. Kumbh Mela was going on that night and we will never forget the sound. It is estimated that more than 70 million people were there! 70 million!! Can you imagine that? The sounds of 70 million people is pure and total madness. It literally sounded like a huge beehive with music playing. We were very glad that we were sitting on a train in our seats and didn't have to get off to navigate through that.</div>

Oh Varanasi how do we describe you? The city is sacred to Hindus and also one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world. Varanasi epitomizes the best and worst aspects of India. Describing it as overwhelming at times is putting it mildly. It is a spectacle of life and death. Over 60,000 people bathe daily in the water of the holy Ganga (Ganges). A dip in the river is said to cleanse you of your sins. The bathing ritual has continued unabated for centuries. There are countless ghats (series of steps) along the river's edge that are used by bathers and pilgrims. "Hindus consider it auspicious to die in Varanasi, so some ghats are known as burning ghats, where bodies are cremated (in full view) before their ashes are placed in the Ganges." (taken from wikitravel)<br />
<br />
There are several categories of people that are considered holy and their bodies are weighted down and sunk to the bottom of the river. Often times the bodies float to the top and are spotted on the banks of the river. To us, this would be a disturbing image but to those that live in Varanasi it's a common thing and they don't even think twice about it.<br />

This place changes you. Whether the change is for the good or the bad, we're not certain. For us, it was a sobering visit to say the least. We saw things in Varanasi that have forever changed us. We debated writing about it but we just can't bring ourselves to talk about what we saw. Some things are better left unspoken. We were in the thick of it...one of the least understood phenomenons to the western mind. How can you bathe in a river littered with human feces, bodies, ashes and water deemed septic because of the amount of sewage that is deposited on the banks of the river? It's actually a complicated blend of religious splendor, complete and utter filth, and a drab environment of death with pops of vibrant colors of life. </div>

A boat ride down the Ganges is a must do. The guys wore their country's t-shirts with pride! Josh's doesn't make any sense but at least it says "American" on it. It was a bittersweet boat ride because it was our last day to hang out with Neil. He caught a flight to Nepal later that day. We truly enjoyed traveling with you, Neil and we can't wait to see you and Fiona in July!<br />

We made our way to Vishwanath Temple (Golden Temple). You can't even begin to imagine how long the line was to get into the temple. Often times foreigners are not allowed to enter so we didn't even try to wait.<br />

We took our first bicycle rickshaw ride. We managed to travel around in Southeast Asia for 5 months without riding a bicycle rickshaw. We are not sure how that happened. The rickshaw driver was so tiny as in Leanne was double his size. He rode us about 4 miles. We felt so bad for him when we got to our destination that we gave him our water and double what he had asked for in fare which was only $2. He was so appreciative. Thanks bicycle rickshaw driver man. You helped restore our faith that not everyone was out to get us in India.<br />

Varanasi and the Ganges was so intriguing that we couldn't leave without at least touching the water. We watched a few men do a ritual and mimicked what they did.<br />

Remember how we mentioned Kumbh Mela above? People were making their way from Allahabad to Varanasi as part of a pilgrimage. Well, it was because of this that we got stuck in Varanasi for way longer than we ever wanted to be there. The only way in or out of Varanasi is by train, plane or private car. All trains were completely booked for several days. Flights and private cars were ridiculously over-priced. We were both on the verge of having a breakdown. We felt trapped and we couldn't do anything about it. Varanasi is not the place you want to be trapped in. It was so cold at night and we were exhausted, dirty, overwhelmed, you name it. We were finally able to get a train ticket out by waking up very early and begging the tourist bureau to give us an emergency ticket out. After 5 days we were finally out of there!</div>
<br />
We said one last goodbye to the sights and smells of Varanasi.<br />

We couldn't help but have the biggest smiles on our faces because we we leaving on a 20-hour sleeper train to Jaipur. <br />
<br />
We will always remember Delhi, Agra and Varanasi. What a true test to our patience and mental health.<br />
<br />
As always, thanks for following. We miss you all so much!<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
