Our last time in London for a while, so we crammed in as much as we could! We spent some time with the Bennetts in Putney and our friends in Wapping. Their baby John has grown up so much since we met him as a six month old, and now he's walking and talking ... Read more >

Hungry? Avocados are everywhere around here. There is definitely not a shortage, nor will there ever be one. They are huge too, and are usually served at every meal. It grossed me out at first, and I couldn´t figure out why all the volunteers were going ... Read more >

Wij hebben in de afgelopen 1,5 maand zo ontzettend veel gezien en meegemaakt dat deze periode met afstand de heftigste tot nu toe is geweest! Wij zitten inmiddels in New York en met Obama, Bush en McCain op de tv aan het stoeien met de economie, gaan ... Read more >

Arrived safely yesterday around 6:30 at the house.  We had no problems in airports or customs and it was great when the customs official smiled and said welcome home.  It was a great time and when I think back I wish we had more time in each port to ... Read more >

My New Family. Pigs, Flies, & Mosquitos.

I finally made it to a little agricultural town outside of Moca, in the northern part of the DR. It is so much quieter and even more green than the capital. I love it. Even the people are friendlier. My new family is interesting, where the men spend most ... Read more >

Well, in case you haven't gotten a call (as many haven't) we made it back to the U.S. without incident on Thursday, and we're back in San Diego now.  All you New Yorkers, we really did try to get stuck there on our layover, but the rain came a little ... Read more >

DOn't worry this one should be briefer:) The other night I took the family out to eat at a Thai Bar-b-q for thanking them for all they have done and given me. So cheap: 8 people for 890 baht or about $30. It was a joyful time with lots of good food! ... Read more >
