The blur. That's what I am going to call the 2015-2016 school year. Between being a student and teaching students, my mind didn't have time to process the day to day of our life (hence the blog hiatus). It was a year of growth in many ways to say the least. But now I've finished my master's degree, Aaron will finish his in December, and we will be living and working in the same country for more than 2 years--something we have never done together! We are truly enjoying feeling settled here and going back to our day to day routine.
Part of that routine is biking to school most days. Driving in Cali is ridiculous. Biking in Cali is not much better. Yet biking here is one of our favorite ways to get around. There's something about filtering through traffic and trying to navigate around cars, trucks, motorbikes, street performers, vendors, potholes, sewer grates, speed bumps, stray dogs, lizards, horse carts, and glass that stimulates an unbeatable adrenaline rush. Yet soon, the higher we climb up to school, the mountains begin to peak above the clouds, the sounds of the city fade in the distance, and that adrenaline is tamed by the energy of the Farallones. Each morning starts with this rollercoaster, and we wouldn't have it any other way. This is home.

Yay! You're back :)
