Auntie Lisa and Uncle Jack: Hi Sarah,Just wanted to say we are thinking of you and hope you're having a great break, And a Very Merry Christmas!!!

Anita Cassidy: Where oh where is Sarah? I miss her and her blog. Hope all is ok.

Anita Cassidy: Hey Sarah - We'll miss the pictures since your camera is gone. We will all be thinking of you this week on Thanksgiving. I bet you have a new appreciation for what to be thankful for!

Ketki Borkar: so, I am not the only one who had to buy a new camera during their Exchange program?

Joe Passofaro: Hi Sarah, what a fantastic ride for you. It's not often that one is thrust into the path of history. Stay safe and keep your eyes and mind open to the truth. It's not always what is presented. Ground zero is the best place to find it.

Natalie : JAJAJAJAJAJA!!! lol, I just noticed the Bolivian Sex-ed... wtf??

Pat Walker: Hi Sarah. It's good to see that you are okay, have a "Plan B" and are still able to communicate with family. Take care! (I'm an old college friend of you mom's)

English: Hola Sarah, soy una amiga de tu tía Lisa. My name is English Atkins. Lisa and I went to high school together. Ironically, I work for the advertising agency for American Airlines and manage their advertising in Latin America. My colleagues and I were just discussing the situation in Bolivia over lunch today. As you know, their flights have been affected. I am so impressed with your poise, intelligence and bravery. You are having a life-changing experience. Most people could not even tell

Your Aunt Lisa: Hey Sarah,Alright, at first this sounded like a great experience but now? Well, just know I am thinking of you! Take very good care of yourself! Even though your the student, seems that I am the one really getting the education on the situation there. Meanwhile, we are getting ready for Hurricane Ike to hit our area in the morning.Stay safe! Lots of Love!

Debbie Erickson Reeds mom: HI Sarah, Reed & I wanted to say hi to you. This is quite the adventure you are on and I imagine you will have many great stories to tell us when you return. Enjoy the southern hemishpere weather, because fall is back in full force. Meaning it is darn cold here at night. Even the boy scouts canceled their campout this weekend, not really because of the temps just busy season .... football school etc. Take care of yourself and we will see you soon.Debbie Erickson & Reed. ISM & boyscouts

paul hofslien: Hi Sarah, I am in Rotary with your mom. Your stay sounds scary and exciting at the same time. Your host mother seems very caring and smart. Stay safe. The american and world press have little if nothing on what goes on in South America.
