And I am an African-American, therefore am especially concerned about relations with the White Europeans and Americans who would be my traveling companions. Dear Jim and Susan, I know it might not be a consolation getting an email from a total stranger on the other side of the planet, but I LOVE what you two are doing. By putting your tales and adventures and struggles on-line, you are making the most widespread, powerful kind of history. Unlike, reading your tale from a hardback book of some fool who went around the world and survived. Sorry to be harsh, but your stories are marvelous and un-ending.
Email is the closest thing to the invention of LIVE television.
But from the coverage of the Olympics, even that was not possible and we were endlessly subjected to John Tesh's weepy monologues. I wish you the best of luck and safe travels. I will think of you as requested eating at my favorite resto. By the way, I am downloading your stuff off of Cyber Adventure's web page. I'm hoping to set up a sort of virtual tourist information leaflet for the village, and I'll mention this information to them.
