Wednesday 03 November 2010 at 07:34 am

THANK YOU! to all of you who continue to encourage us with your comments on our blog.  I have to wade through dozens of spam comments in order to find the real ones...and it's always so worth it!

Thanks again to Brian Wixted for updating the map of our travels. He just let me know that he's been updating it. Because our internet connections are so slow I haven't been able to look at the maps, but perhaps you can, by clicking HERE.  I believe there are a whole series of pages, so make sure you go to the final and most current one.  Brian, if you are able to keep up with us as we zigzag and circle around and throughout Zimbabwe, then I am truly impressed!

Before We Begin

Saturday 29 May 2010 at 4:34 pm

For almost ten years our family has been
talking about two big dreams. The first
dream is to cycle across Canada as a family.
The second is to return one day to Zimbabwe,
the country where Zachary was born
and where we lived for almost three years.
