Our last week in Buenos Aires was balanced with playing tourist and taking care of the normal things. Because my classes were over, I was able to spend a little more time on seeing some sights. I toured the Colón Theater and the Bella Arts Museum. I explored more neighborhoods including Chinatown and a revisit… Read More Week four in Buenos Aires
I’ve been mulling something over for a while. I think I’ve finally realized what I’m feeling, but I’m no closer to being able to explain it than I was when I first started experiencing the tugging in my heart. So I think I’ll pull on some threads here and see what I uncover. I am… Read More The heart wants what the heart wants
We are early days here in Buenos Aires. We landed in the middle of a long holiday weekend, so it has afforded us a more gentle acclimation period. We know that living somewhere when you are not fluent affords you daily doses of small humiliations. It’s all part of the learning process but it’s sometimes… Read More The shape of small successes
Delayed update post: Week eight+ 11/27 -12/4 , our last week in NYC for this visit, plus a side quest for Kim to Philadelphia, and then Florida for our next multi-month stop. Despite it being our last week, it pretty much followed the routine of all our previous: Monday morning I was in the gym… Read More Better late than never – Week eight summary
The end is so close. I look at the desk calendar and I feel like Grover in the beloved children’s book, Monster at the End of the Book. But I cannot stop time. The only thing I can do is try to squeeze as much as possible in before we leave Friday morning. To that… Read More Week seven highlights
The indulgences and experiences keep piling on. This week was chock full. I mean Chock. Full. We kicked it off with a fancy pants Michelin restaurant, Kochi, with our friends who were over visiting from Germany, Chris and Katja. We finished the evening with them enjoying Margaritas under a glass raised by the Statue of… Read More Week Six Highlights (delayed)
Good lord… I’m not even sure where to start on choosing highlights from this amazing week. From November 6 through November 12th, we had so many incredible experiences, I may need to go day-by-day: Monday I started the day as a normal Monday: gym, groceries, laundry, and some pre-cooking. But then I took off uptown,… Read More Week 5 Highlights
We essentially only have three weeks left here in NYC. I feel a little frantic because there is still just so much I want to see and do. I’m not sure how much we will get to, but I know I will give it my level best effort. I also can’t guarantee all our good,… Read More The End is near
We now return to our regularly scheduled shenanigans. (There is no week three summary since we were in Europe). We’ve been back in New York for a week. It feels like home; it just feels right. We got back Sunday, and did our usual quiet simple living Monday – Friday. We cooked at home, ate… Read More Week 4 Highlights
Larry and I interrupted our NYC Nomading experiment for a few days. We went to the Netherlands to celebrate with Elliot and attend his graduation. He has now completed his masters (proud mama brag: graduating cum laude) and is currently doing an internship at the OPCW. We had such an amazing time while there and… Read More Side Quest
