Anne, you’re a very impressive person. I wish there were more like you. In the Middle East, there’s very little focus on environmental issues, and too much focus on The Conflict. I’m among many trying to end it. Here’s wishing us both success!

Hi! I just visited this place today! oh…the prisoners were fed two times a week, not every two weeks. But I guess it wouldn’t matter much. I’m not sure that anyone would survive too long on bread and water twice a week anyway.

Hola Anne,

I think what you are doing is absolutely amazing!!! It never occurred to me to travel in this manner. I would love to plan a cycling trip similar to yours. How safe is it to travel this way? What precautions do you take to ensure your safety? Safety is my biggest concern when traveling. Any advice you or anyone else can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Buena Suerte,
Maria Lilly

Hello Anne,
I just read about you on cnn.com. Wow! What a great trip. I live in Sinaloa Mexico. I teach English as a second language. I lived in Fort Collins, Colorado. I did a big bike trip through Belguim, Holland and across France. Come visit us. I live with my Mexican wife and daughter. We live close to Mexico’s Copper Canyon and near the beach. I wish you happy travels.

Dan,

Hey,
I just got back from Central America. I was there about a month also. Did you make it to Lake Atitlan or Antigua?
I am planning a ‘Motorcycle Diaries’ trip in the next year so your sight will be a big help. Thanks,
Larry

Anne – I always knew you were someone I admired and this resolution confirms that and more.

Thanx for making me think – I will probably never ride a bike to work every day, but I might just do so when the snow melts and the temps get a little warmer. Hold me to this please as I generally need a little push to embrace my better angles.

As Andrea said – Inspiring.

Hey, Anne!

I made a resolution to ride a bike more often, and made it a central part of a community green website I built, http://www.lincolngreenscene.com

If you could, I’d love for you to join it and pass us on some things about your travels and experiences since you left your car behind. Once you join as a member, you could also join the bikes group and help us out if you see us mulling things around with no answers.

I’d love for your Room to Read website to be posted somewhere in there too. You could cut and paste into blogs there, or just post it in our forums with links to your site.

Inspiring, Anne!

Hi Anne. I really enjoyed your blog! Thanks for the words of encouragement. I know some would say that it’s not much of a difference (especially after 4 kids in diapers) but I am planning to switch to cloth with this baby. Not only is it better for the environment and less costly than disposables, but now I won’t be making late-night runs to the store because I’m out of diapers! Sometimes I waver when I think of the extra laundry but your blog is a boost of encouragement. Thanks!
