Dec, 2005
I have to say, as we come to the final issue of 'where is bob?' for this year, that it's been a real joy to share my journeys with you. I appreciate the interest and moral support many of you have expressed, and sometimes almost feel like we are making this journey together. In fact, as the world grows smaller and smaller in this 'global age', I sort of feel like this job I have is a metaphor for the increasing inter-connectedness (both positive and negative) that our species is experiencing.
In that same spirit, I'd like to encourage your feedback. What do you like/not like? What would you want to hear more about in the future? Or, if you want to stop getting this email altogether, please let me know that too. Conversely, if you know anyone who would like to be added to the mailing list, please put me in touch with them. Much to my surprise, the number of people receiving this update has actually grown over the past year. And of course, I'd always love to hear about where you are, and what you're doing.
To answer the question for the last time in 2005, I am in the Toronto area, and will be until early February. For those of you in the area, if I haven't seen you already, maybe our paths will cross in the next few weeks. For all of you I wish you a Merry Christmas, and look forward to starting Where is Bob volume 3!

Had trouble picking my favourite photo of the year, so I tried to pick one related to the topic instead. I took this photo in Honduras, but the far side of the bridge is in El Salvador. Every year hundreds cross this bridge on their way to the promised land (Los Estados Unidos). Some may have already travelled far by the time they get to this bridge, places as far away as Africa, and the Middle East, but for many, the journey begins right here.
