I really like the idea of a bucket list. I used to do seasonal goals, (summer, winter, etc.) but haven't gotten into the habit here since everything felt so new this past year. Survival was the goal. Now that we are back into a familiar routine, we can make some adventure plans. So… Continue reading Travel Bucket List

Cartagena Ghost Tour
This may be a little early for Halloween, but I had the chance to take the Ghost Tour in El Centro and couldn't pass it up. Cartagena at night is a beautifully different experience.

Yeah, so we did that. And… Continue reading A Quick Weekend Getaway

The bright colors and cobble stone streets set the perfect… Continue reading Saving memories…
The Waiting Game
Part of our life in Colombia has been learning to be not so "productive" - with all the moving pieces, many of them so far out of my control, I have nothing better to do than get very good at waiting. Contrary to what I have been doing my entire life, pausing and waiting is a wonderful… Continue reading The Waiting Game
