We Are Home…. I honestly didnt know until this morning what this final blog post was going to say. I didnt know what my words or feelings would be as I sat to record these final impressions of a life changing 6 year odyssey. To be honest, I have been digesting the impact of thisContinue reading “The Final Post”

London- Part 2
MUSEUMS One can’t write of museums in London without mentioning the incredible policy of free admittance. If one subscribes to the philosophy, as we do, that human capital is the greatest resource a country can have, and that the education of those humans is in the best interest of everyone in that country, then it makesContinue reading “London- Part 2”
Denmark
Leaving Smögen, Sweden we enjoyed beautiful passage conditions to Skagen, Denmark. The northernmost tip of Denmark, Skagen is a holiday port for Swedes and Danes and the harbor was full of lively holiday weekenders making the very most of the final summer weekend. The shops and restaurants were full to brimming with live entertainment andContinue reading “Denmark”
Sweden
Sweden This will likely be one of the shortest visits we will spend in a country this summer – it certainly has been thus far, but not due to lack of enjoyment or beauty. Sweden is topographically different from Norway and as we traveled East along the South coast of Norway, we began to noticeContinue reading “Sweden”
The Caledonia Canal

Have you ever built up a place so much in your own mind that you were worried to ever go there? That was what I was thinkingContinue reading “The Caledonia Canal”

We have been doing this long enough to know that there is a point of diminishing returns when we try (read IContinue reading “Türkiye by Land”

India – The Prelude…
India – the prelude… I once heard that the more money you spend on a trip to a foreign country, the more distance you put between yourself and the culture you are trying to enjoy. I always believed this to be true and certainly, it makes sense. Riding in a bus or train like aContinue reading “India – The Prelude…”
Kas, Türkiye
Kas, Türkiye We are now a full month into our winter contract, and I still haven’t shared how much we love this place. You may have read that we had a bit if trepidation since this is one place that I had very little knowledge of before we committed – indeed had to commit, toContinue reading “Kas, Türkiye”
