Bristol Fellowship Year Final Thoughts

The following two posts are two documents I submitted to the Bristol Fellowship Committee at the conclusion of my fellowship year. The first is a nuts & bolts summary about my travels; the second is another of the creative non-fiction pieces resulting from the folks I've met. Warning: they are both long. Read allllllll the way to the end! (or just look at the pictures)

In total I spent USD 22,912.74 on the project. (The Fellowship is for $22,000.00) The total spent, including two side trips outside the scope of the project, was $24,966.35 to travel to 13 countries in 361 days. Surprisingly, I spent about the same amount per week in inexpensive countries (Argentina, Uruguay, Honduras, Mexico) as expensive ones (England, Germany*). However, I did much more traveling and sightseeing in Latin America whereas in Europe my expenses were just about exclusively lodging and transportation. *Germany is an exception where train fares increased the total significantly, but the day-to-day expenses were equivalent to those of England.

And I have circumnavigated the globe! Now the only continents left to see are Africa (which, yes, does have successful therapeutic riding facilities) and Antarctica. I wonder if I can start the first Therapeutic Ice-Horse Riding Facility for Penguins at the South Pole???????
