El Salvador...

L So it has come to our last day here in El Salvador. I can't wait for the questions when we get home...
Yes we felt safe
Yes it's beautiful here
Yes I would come back but only if I can't think of somewhere else in the world to explore.
And meeting our sponsor child was my biggest highlight!!!!
Some things I won't miss are crowing roosters and barking stray dogs. 
I'm not looking forward to heading back to our winter....but it will be very nice to give all 4 of our children hugs and snuggles. 
Today we tried to plan going on a atv tour. There wasn't any atv around to take us though 😞 
That's ok we enjoyed all our meals on the beach
Read our books on the beach
Waded in the warm ocean 
Walked along the beautiful beach
Enjoyed one last amazing sunset
Life is pretty good!
It will be a mad dash of Christmas prep when we get home. 
The plane ride I will be writing down a grocery list for Saturday night and another for Monday morning....
Here are some last photos to share. 
Thanks for following us on our journey
This resort is very lush!
Yes he's alive....
And these guys are real. I think they had 14 of them here. 
I think you can take a ride on the beach with him. To bad D doesn't like horses I'm sure my sister in laws would've gone
Something familiar from home...

Today's beach walk collection 
Yes it was pretty deserted here as well. People don't wander much past the resort. 

Next time you see a selfie of us it will probably be in our parkas somewhere. 
Our last El Salvadorian sunset. 
D's dinner...calamari clams lobster...
The resort lit up at night. 

And the main reason we went away...celebrating 10 years of marriage. 
Tomorrow morning is an early start!
Adiós

A little bubbly

This was the very first night that I officially slept well.  Finally transitioned over to the Dutch time zone.... Started the day with by filling the stomach with a good Dutch style breakfast.  If you're not Dutch could you guess what it is? With full stomachs we headed out for the day.  It was a rather frightening start down the skinny Dutch little road.  It barely can handle a bike and a car passing each other.  So to our surprise a massive semi truck was barreling down the road.  We pulled over in a pullout but  became trapped between a large truck and the canal. That canal was not looking too pretty for a swim.... Glad we didn't end up going for that swim and the we had no extra rental car bills to pay as the truck nearly missed the sideview mirror.  After safely arriving to the park n' ride we caught the bus.  This is a fantastic system if you're in Holland!  It cost 5 Euro to park the car and ride the bus for up to 5 people! ...

Trips and treasures

A little while ago I put the link back up on my social media page from a blog about Mother's Day.  Although I get very emotional about the day and the upcoming to the day with my precious Mom being in heaven, I do remember that I have the honour of celebrating motherhood and celebrating with other mothers in my life.  I know it can be a difficult day for many in different ways.   My one little guy who hangs out with me a lot gave me a special treat when I was down....how can you not resist his smile, with a card, cup of water and an apple all delivered with that big smile and even bigger heart. Shortly after that day I was given the privilege of going on a much desired field trip with my daughter.  If you know me at all, or even through this blog you know how much I desire the ocean and the wonders of it.  This trip to Salt Spring Islands did not fail me or my wonder of our wonderful creator.  We have so much more to experience from the ocean..... ...

2021

 Turned the calendar to 2021 a while ago and just have not sat down behind the computer to type away in a while.  I just had those summer 2020 blog posts waiting to be completed.  At last that goal was accomplished and I feel like the rest of 2020 went awash......I made a video to summarize our year and felt like that was good enough to complete the year.   I won't say our 2021 had the most marvellous start.  Our family was in isolation and I can't remember what day it was of 24 days being inside our home that we rolled the new year in.  However we were loved upon by many family members and friends over the time of being indoors.  Also what better time in the world to be "stuck" at home as you can get your grocery deliveries and any other shopping done and delivered all within 24 hours.  We did not suffer.  We may have been a little stir crazy at points, but we made the best of it! Building forts hasn't happened in a long time in our house, b...
