I've had very intermittent email access (most blogs have been posted by my mother after very hasty turning on of data roaming for just long enough to send her an email via my iPhone - ridiculously expensive otherwise), but whenever I manage to pick up my emails I pass your messages on to the team - and we all appreciate them very much!

I'm almost embarrassed to be sitting under Santa Fe blue skies while Orange Jackets are trudging through European rain and mud! (Of course at 7000' those November blue skies are at 20 degrees F.!) I just wanted to let you know that your post-Thanksgivinged fans here in The City Different are following every muddy footprint as you all show our world what needs to be done to ensure a blue-skied future: keep slogging ahead towards an ecologically sustained planet, one footstep/oar stroke at a time. Our warmest wishes of support to Those In the Orange Jackets! – Doug Stewart, Santa Fe, NM Dear Lady Roz, (you will always be “Lady Roz” in Santa Fe, NM!)

Hopefully you'll find an Internet connection a bit less Mac-hostile so we can see your pics soon! You've got more important things to worry about than that!

Sitting here in sunshine on a warm Los Angeles afternoon I am just awed by your determination to slog through miles and miles of driving wind and rain to raise awareness of the importance of sustainability--and it's ironic that what seems to have done you in was the futility of trying to use technology to share your experiences with the rest of us!! (though I'm sure fatigue also played a part). Anyway, whenever you are actually able to access your messages, do know that we are eagerly following your travels and travails and sending our support and good wishes across the ether--you are an enormously good person doing an enormously important thing and deserve all the help and loving energy we can send. Oh, and Barack Obama announced that he will go to Copenhagen, adding at least some good energy from the US to the thinking and planning taking place. Meanwhile, all the best for your mighty trek--and may you continue to encounter sunshine, good chocolate and warm hearts wherever you go!
