Guess what? Yesterday was exactly two years since James and I left Australia, and today is exactly three years since James and I first met. Where oh where oh where has the time gone?? I’m feeling contemplative, and so I thought I’d…I don’t know…recap the last two years of my […]
14-09-07: Last Day!!
We chose to spend our last day doing something a little different. We went on a zipline trek, which involved five cables suspended between trees, hundreds of feet above the Earth, and whizzing along them by a harness. Wonderful fun!!

Our […]
