As you can see the list of people we need to give thanks to is very long! We
are continuously asked if we are sponsored and the answer is no. But without
these people our travels would certainly not be what they have been if not
impossible. Whether it was inviting us for a meal or letting us stay for a few
days or helping us out it other ways, these people we always remain in our
thoughts as we slowly make our way across this amazing planet.
