I've Been All Over the World This Week with a Man Named Graham (shhh...don't tell my husband)

I'm sorry the frequency of my posts have slowed down. I'm having a tough week. No inspiration. I have however, been reading your blogs fiercely! Which is really my favorite thing to do, especially after a long day. A new blog I have been really enjoying is One Man's Travel Blog. There are a lot of travel blogs out there but I specifically enjoy reading about Graham's adventures because of the way he writes and the amazing stories he tells through his pictures. His desire to experience the world and its cultures are so heartfelt and intense. I love to see it through his eyes. I think Graham must leave a piece of his heart everywhere he goes in order to make room for how much he brings home to share.

Graham Ettridge said...: Thank you soooo much for your wonderfully kind words. You have you made my day truly happy. It is people like you that make this blogging world such a special place. I am glad that I have been able to share with you some of the moments I have experienced on my journeys and look forward to sitting down this weekend with a glass of wine and catching up with your blog too.

Thank you again... your words are deeply appreciated.

Warmest regards ~ Graham :); 1/11/2008

You are welcome. I am enjoying my own glass (or three) of wine right now...and pondering what might I photograph for your "one" idea.; 1/11/2008

So, I'll give it to you, this was a not-so-phlegmatic response...forgive me? Come on...if you say yes I'll let you bring me fries...; 1/13/2008
