We had a busy weekend with some pretty hard "goodbyes" to say. Oregon family and friends made it a great week. Today some of our friends threw us a "goodbye BBQ".
This will be the last time my folks will see us, and we them, for the next few years. While there is high excitement, there is a great sense of appreciating what we have here at home, accompanied by the reality of loss.
This is exactly what we want our kids, and us, to see and experience. The idea that there is a completely different world out there. That we are not the only people on this globe that matter or have an opinion or a need. The closer we get to departure the more we appreciate where and how we live.
Off to Ohio in 36 hours to wrap up more "goodbyes".
Our journey begins in 32 days.
Wandering the Anatolian Silk Roads with our crew of four we are in our 7th year of what we thought was going to be a brief detour through Asia Minor. Now living in Istanbul, this blog is frustratingly inconsistent and written by someone who hates writing...but loves having written.
