The Wandering Wisconsinite: November 2011

http://wanderingwisconsinite.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

Not all those who wander are lost. Monday, November 21, 2011. Can you find me in the picture above? This was last weekend's Unicef 10K race. Here, its all about image, so they require that participants in races like this all wear the same shirt so that the pictures look impressive. I have to admit, it does look really neat when the whole street is filled with blue. I also ran, about four weeks ago, the Nike WeRun Bogota 10K. There we all wore bright coral shirts. Thursday, November 17, 2011. The bottom r...

The Wandering Wisconsinite: February 2012

http://wanderingwisconsinite.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Not all those who wander are lost. Sunday, February 26, 2012. It was incredibly interesting for me to see the area where the biggest, legal export of Colombia comes from and to learn about the coffee culture. It is completely agriculture, with sma. Ll towns dotting the countryside. In addition to coffee, this area also grows plantains, bananas, and other tropical fruit. Coffee plants/bushes grow on the mountainsides, at about 5,000 feet in elevation. Here are some of my favorite photos from the trip.

The Wandering Wisconsinite: Its been awhile....

http://wanderingwisconsinite.blogspot.com/2013/02/its-been-awhile.html

Not all those who wander are lost. Sunday, February 10, 2013. Almost an entire year has gone by without any words uttered by either Jesse or I on this blog. Over the past year, so many life decisions have been made and our life together is taking a new direction. We decided back in November that our time overseas needed to come to an end. Mixed feelings definitely abound while we try to rationalize with ourselves this incredible change of lifestyle. This last one may be my favorite of all.

Not all those who wander are lost. Sunday, February 27, 2011. From there we took a walk across the grounds of the Estancia which contain the original buildings built by the Bridges family and hopped onto our little Zodiac to cross to the penguin island in the Beagle Channel. You can tell the difference between the juveniles and adults by the coloration of their feathers. It's hard to show with pictures just how cool this place was so I'll let the two videos below do some of the talking (along with the so...

The Wandering Wisconsinite: December 2011

http://wanderingwisconsinite.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

Not all those who wander are lost. Monday, December 12, 2011. For Thanksgiving break Jenna and I got a great deal through Exito Travel on a combo package of a flight and all-inclusive beachfront hotel in Cartagena so we decided to take our first trip to the coast here in Colombia. We were accompanied by Heather and David who we have known since our Honduras days for the weekend. Our hotel was located in Bocagrande and provided us the great views of the beach below. Mom and Dad this picture is for you!

The Wandering Wisconsinite: September 2011

http://wanderingwisconsinite.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Not all those who wander are lost. Tuesday, September 20, 2011. Sunday, September 18, 2011. Oh, good store bought salsa, how I miss you. So far, nothing. We have eaten at two different restaurants, and they have been nothing to write home about. Salt and salt, and a splash of heat with no flavor is what we've found. There are two or three more restaurants we are going to try; I've been told they are better, but I'm not holding my breath. Wish us luck when we try the other restaurants!

The Wandering Wisconsinite: March 2011

http://wanderingwisconsinite.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Not all those who wander are lost. Thursday, March 10, 2011. Live music is always a good time, and living abroad can sometimes make it difficult since musicians like we like aren't always coming to Paraguay. Jesse went to a Franz Ferdinand concert last year, and this year, Shakira came! It was her first time in Paraguay, and there was excitement in the air for weeks. Here's a few photos of her concert. Ziggy Marley (Bob's son) opened for Shakira. Labels: day to day. Thursday, March 3, 2011. The main attr...
