Emily's Adventures Around the World: Carnaval
http://alwaysemily.blogspot.com/2009/02/carnival.html
Emily's Adventures Around the World. Monday, February 23, 2009. It has been an eventful week. Day Four, we went back to Cancún to catch a bus to Mérida, a city "4 to 6 hours from Cancún." I put that in quotation marks, because in actuality, the trip took us more than 7 long and painful hours. And that nasty cough from the morning before? It got worse. My chest hurt, my eyes felt like they were going to pop out of my head everytime I coughed (and I coughed.a lot! HUGE floats paraded by designed by Coca-Co...

Emily's Adventures Around the World: February 2009
http://alwaysemily.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Emily's Adventures Around the World. Wednesday, February 25, 2009. Flamingos, Flexibility, and Finally, Palenque. Not a great start to the tour, but it did get better. In Celestùn we got in a boat and toured the mangrove swamp, eventually coming upon thousands on thousands of bright pink flamingos. Did you know flamingos are pink because they eat so much shrimp? Would I turn florescent if I ate all that shrimp? My very favorite thing is guacamole. I eat it nearly everyday. The avocados are so fre...Yeste...

Sunday, October 29, 2006. Where have I been? Ok OK I know that it's been so long since I've posted that everyone has stopped reading this thing but I thought I'd try to redeem this blog but putting up new stuff. As of yesterday we arrived in Hope BC. Tim came over to visit so I'm spending some time with him today (yeah! I'm glad to be back on the west coast!

Back to the Cradle: April 2008
http://passthekimchi.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Back to the Cradle. Hey there Blogger world, we're finally here for a much needed update. Due to a tropical virus our computer was down for some time and we were unable to post. But now it's all good. So I thought I would share some pictures of my school and my kids. Enjoy! My Grade 4 class which is my absolute favorite. 24 kids who for the most part love to engage and think the world of me. We have a lot of fun. I see them about 7 periods a week. Or "Is it ok for a Muslim to marry a Christian? This is H...

Back to the Cradle: Africa Reads
http://passthekimchi.blogspot.com/2008/06/africa-reads.html
Back to the Cradle. I've been reading alot of books about Africa lately, I think on last count about 12 in the past 3 months or so. I know not everyone has my great fascination with the Dark Continent but here are a few reads I highly reccomend for those with an interest in Africa or in a good read. Ok, so the 750 pages might seem a little intimidating at first but they fly by. "The Fate of Africa". Stephanie Nolen's "28: Stories of AIDS in Africa". A Canadian journalist gives stories and faces to th...

Back to the Cradle: November 2007
http://passthekimchi.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Back to the Cradle. I know you all love to see pictures so here are a few of some Ethiopian sights. These are some pictures of the crazy traffic that sometimes develops here. The blue and whites are what Nolana and I use to get around. Maybe 12 cents for a ride. Here are some of the Orthodox worshippers. Some of the churches are beautiful and ornate and some mere walls. At least 50% of people here are orthodox. From the overpass. You can see the fruit stall as well as the coal seller. I am a happily marr...

Back to the Cradle: Moved!
http://passthekimchi.blogspot.com/2008/07/moved.html
Back to the Cradle. No we're not all moved into our new digs yet but, I am moving my blog away from passthekimchi.blogspot.com. This one was built for our travels and, as the address suggests, was a little too place specific. For Ethiopia I kept the URL but changed the name. Now it's time to simply move and start over, something a little more inclusive of all the pots my fingers are in. So come see the new blog at http:/ ericswanderings.blogspot.com/. My e-mail address is smpkmj69@naver.com. I am a happi...
