Larry and I had a great weekend despite the rain. We walked a lot, we talked a lot. And in our talking I realized that I am really good at extending grace and forgiveness to everyone except myself. Without really even realizing it, I was really getting pretty harsh with my self and feeling some… Read More Week Two in Buenos Aires
We have seen some incredible things so far. This lovely city has many elements that feel familiar to Europe, to the US, to New Orleans, to Paris. We are drinking in all in while trying to balance day to day living and learning. I’ve been taking a lot of pictures this past week, and some… Read More Week one in Buenos Aires
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
I have a feeling we will meet again. This last week has been filled with delicious tastes and interesting sights. We did our best to try to squeeze in as much as possible before departing. To that end, we dined out every night: Gris Gris on Monday, Mister Mao on Tuesday, and Boucherie on Wednesday.… Read More Farewell, New Orleans
New Orleans continues to dazzle us with its simplicity and intensity. In all things, it seems, New Orleans strikes an impossible balance of relaxed and serious. Everywhere there is this incongruousness, this natural coexisting of opposites. I’d say tension, but it’s really the opposite of that. It’s an entwined vine woven through a wrought iron… Read More Here is why New Orleans is no good
In many ways it feels like we’ve been here for much longer than a week. We have squeezed a lot of living in the short seven days. We also has our long-time friends, John and CB, join us for a long weekend where we did lots of touristy things like visit the bayou and take… Read More Week one complete
I’m not really sure how frequently I will be posting on the blog. I think I need to let the rhythm of the location dictate the writing and photography. I will say that nomading so far has been pretty awesome. We are basically making a new home every month or so. And with every iteration,… Read More 72 hours and it feels like home
Goodness, but those three months simply flew by, didn’t they? True to my word, I was “home” while here in Barefoot Bay. We both got very comfortable here very quickly, and we resumed all our good habits that keep us healthy, physically and mentally. Eating right, sleeping well, exercising regularly, keeping up with friends and… Read More Who’s ready to travel again?
We’ve been here in Florida for a week now. It’s been warm and wonderful. It is a very sharp contrast from the pace of NYC, and that’s okay. It’s nice to have a mix of energies and activities. We are basically moving in to a new home down here, so there is plenty on the… Read More Chasing t-shirt weather
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
