February Photo Challenge

By -

I've always wanted to do a photo challenge but was too lazy to do one. Mostly I was afraid of skipping a day or not knowing what photo to take. I really want to stop putting stuff off because I'm too lazy or afraid of messing up. I've decided to do a February photo challenge I saw on pinterest. I'm going to try my best to do every day and post the results here. I'm hoping that by doing this photo challenge it will help me get off my butt and take more photos, especially around our neighborhood. I only have about 5 months left living in Mexico and there are so many things I've wanted to take pictures of. This is the time to do it. I will try to post the challenge photo first and then some others I took as well.

Ok so here is the challenge if anyone wants to participate.
Today's challenge- my view today (and just about every day)
I actually love the view from our living room window. The building's windows are reflective so most of the time it looks like the sky.  It's really pretty on a day with big puffy clouds in the sky and Jacob can usually see helicopters and airplanes flying by in the reflection which he loves! 
So here is another view from the same window. This is the roof top of a great Korean Barbeque place that we get to smell all the time. It smells pretty amazing. This is their water tower.  Someone is always checking it out on a latter and when they do they can see right into our apartment.  Rory likes to bark at them sometimes.  I always want to wave at them from my spot on the couch (futon). The funny thing is that green fence just went up and they didn't leave an opening to get to the water tank. I wonder if they have figured that out yet.

This is the view from our kitchen window.  I love the black wall with white rings. In the spring that old, brick roof top is full of wild flowers.
Here is a photo I took in the spring where you can see the flowers.

And here is one I took of our view on a cloudy day. Isn't it pretty? I quiet like our view. When we first moved in we considered covering the window but I'm glad we didn't.  I am curios to know how much of our place people can see from that hotel.

2018 in Review

By Andrew -
2018 Year in Review (and a little of 2017 for context) We’re sorry we haven’t written a proper letter for a couple of years, and it has been even longer since we’ve mailed one, but sometimes life is so good we can’t think of things to brag about. Over the past few years we have accumulated sufficient news to rub in your faces, we’re reviving the tradition.   Early in 2017 Ender applied to 13 university counseling centers and was interviewed by 12. The only site that didn’t seem interested was the University of Utah proving once and for all that God does not want us to return to the holy land. Match day came and we got our first choice: Colorado State University in Fort Collins! That Summer we said goodbye to our home in Indiana and the great friends we made over the 4 years we lived there, Ender started his clinical internship, and Jacob started 1st grade in a brand new school.   In 2018 Jacob finished 1st grade and then started 2nd grade at the SAME SCHOOL. ...

Road to Ghana

There were two things about leaving Cape Town that were hard: 1) Getting back to work after 8 days off is always a bit of an adjustment, and this would be no exception, and 2) We would be leaving the temperate climate of South Africa and making our way back to the equator.  This leg of the trip had plenty of fun things scheduled that made it SUPER FUN:  First, and most certainly least: a lifeboat drill. It wouldn't be ship-life without the monthly drill. We are getting faster! There was also a wedding onboard!  Okay, not really, but a funny little joke spiraled into a full blown ceremony.  You see, one of the things you can sign up for when you are a staff, faculty, or life-long-learner is to host a "ship family."  This means that college students who are looking for "ship parents" can sign up and be matched with older adults to have an occasional "family dinner" and basically have some community outside of their peers if they want.  The "bride,...

Sea Olympics

 A crazy thing happened on the ship between Mozambique and South Africa:  Kim and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary!   We had tentative plans to have "fancy dinner" on the ship, in which you can order an expensive meal in the Four Seasons Restaurant, but as (bad) luck would have it, the restaurant was closed for mid-term exams on our anniversary.  So, we decided to get burgers and fries in the Chappy bar instead.  Another cool thing happening on the ship was the Sea Olympics, which took place the day after our anniversary.  The Sea Olympics are a HUGE ship wide event. Every voyager on the ship is assigned into a sea when they board according to where they are staying on the ship (I think). Each sea has a Residence Director (RD) who leads occasional meetings throughout the voyage. It's virtually the dorm of each student on this floating campus.  All adults (staff, faculty and Life Long Learners, children, and companions) are part of the Aeg...
