Madeline's First on the Trail Update

Hi All,
I am currently in NYC at Hosteling International. Walking around the city proved to be great fun.....wow what a change from walking in the woods. I have to pay for internet access so I am going to make my message short and sweet. We viewed the Statue of Liberty, (although we didn't go out to the island because that would have taken about 4 hours), visited China Town, Little Italy, Greenwich Village, and Times Square. Times Square was the biggest culture shock of all; it is everything you think about when you think of New York and more! Out of curiosity I went into a ginormous Toys-R-Us, complete with ferris wheel. Seth you would have liked it, floor to ceiling transformers, floor to ceiling star wars and of course most importantly of all, floor to ceiling Barbies. Haha. I am practically out of time. I love you all and thank you for the support.
Love
Madeline

  2. Jacquie Newberry sent you the following via email, Madeline:

    I am so proud of you. You follow your dreams...what a satisfying and beautiful way to live this life. I am sending you positive thoughts for sturdy feet, a strong body, and a spirit that grows larger than the universe as you explore more of this magnificent piece of it. Your power is in your honesty and love for every living thing. As you pass this along to those lucky enough to find you on the trail they will understand this blessing and grow brighter within just because of a chance meeting with a truly caring human being.

    Respect and Love,

  3. Hi you guys! Sounds like you are doing great! We are thinking about trying to meet up with you at Port Clinton in September since it is on a Saturday. It's in the near future, and if you can give us an idea of what time you will arriving we could meet. Just a thought. We will be following your progress and keeping you both in our thoughts and prayers. It is getting hot here. We hope the woods are cool!
    love, Amy and Tim
