Over the weekend, a very exciting thing happened!
Reshma Kirpalani at the Austin American-Statesman wrote an article! About us!
I'm pretty terrible at self-promotion, so I find the whole thing more than a little embarassing (it took me ten times starting to read the article before I was able to finish it). But it is pretty cool to be in print like this!
Here's a link:
Austin couple goes around the world in 14 months in search of local food
Thanks to you guys who followed us around the world! It's been, and will continue to be, a wild ride.
yay!

I loved reading this, but not as much as I've loved reading your blog :)

what a fantastic photo - LOVE IT! (and was happy to have played a tiny tiny part in your 14-month saga... :D )

Wow - I just discovered that comments on the Boots in the Oven fan page here show up over on the blog! How strange! Thanks for all the kind words. And I think Reshma did a really nice job!

Hey guys, this is awesome--and that photo is EPIC. If you're interested in spreading your message further (and like me, are happy to talk to anyone about your travels) I can put you in touch with the people at Hosteling International/REI who put on the different travel classes at REI. I bet a food one from your experiences would be super popular. I'm doing a Cambodia one soon and they're always looking for new topics/experienced travelers/presenters spread the good word on (budget) travel

I've been following your blog for a couple of years now and the article sums it up perfectly. I didn't know you were working on an app. I just thought you guys were adventuresome and ambitious. Congrats on making it home and the article. The photo is AWESOME and speaks to how your (me, at least) readers have come to understand the trip in a strange way.

Thank you! Roni, that's a cool idea... we might want to take you up on it! And thanks, H - yup, we wanted to have a real project we were working on as we traveled (besides the blog, of course), and we've wanted to merge our love of food and travel for a while. So, here goes!
