During Christmas this past year, Tim and I were enjoying telling my oldest sister Sheila about our recent trip to Mexico City. Our tales of friendly locals, fantastic food, and fabulous artwork made her eyes light up.

During that first version of the website, there were a few pages that no longer appear in our re-vamped website (launched in March 2009). However, there were also comments from friends, family members, and other travelers on those now-deleted pages. Not wanting to lose those comments, we've compiled all of them here.

I miss meeting new friends, travelers and locals alike. I especially miss the instant connection we had with other travelers – the instant bond where all the bullshit and the small talk is cut out, and you get to what's really important.

We've received several questions from family, friends, and fans (ok, readers: but fans worked better with the alliteration) asking if we're going to continue to post on Hedgehogs Without Borders now that we've arrived home.
