The Central America E-mails

For the eight months that we were gone (together) these six emails were essentially the only communication we had with folks back home. To them they were an invitation to share in our adventures, to forget life for a few minutes, and to be inspired to leave their comfort zones. For us they were a record of events and attitudes, a moment to reflect, and a reminder to connect with loved ones. It wasn't always easy to find the time or desire to sit in an internet cafe for a couple hours but our reward was the dozens of responses that we would receive, updating us on events in California. Upon returning to California I have had an overwhelmingly positive response to the letters themselves. I've also realized how many people did not receive them, leaving me with a blank slate when recounting tales. So here they are, illustrated and publicly posted to benefit all.
