It has been wonderful to hear in=person feedback from our blog-followers, now that we are home. I never imagined we'd have so many blogfans! Thank you all for caring enough about us to follow our journey.
For the final post, I thought I'd post some of the images I sketched in my journal, along the way. I hope you enjoy them. Capturing the beauty of any place, or moment, is nearly impossible, but I always enjoy the challenge of trying.

While this is the final post for "Jess & Ryan's Southward Journey," we are certain that the journey is continuing. Each day of living brings challenges, surprises, and new joys. Each day we realize that we are not completely in control of the way the day unfolds. Traveling has reminded us of this. It has also reminded us to stay open to the possibility that something wacky might happen, open to meeting new people. It has reminded us that being vulnerable is okay, as long as we're also resourceful. It has certainly given us new perspectives. We feel so blessed to be exploring this awe-inspiring planet, and plan to continue doing so.
Thank you to those who helped make the trip happen, and to those who were interested enough to follow along. We've said it before, and we'll say it again: We LOVE you ALL!
Peace,
Jess & Ryan
