We found a kitty on our hike!


The trip has brought us closer for sure!


After the hike, we stop for a beach day, unfortunately, we were not wearing our swimsuits.


There were ladders to get in the calm water!


Pebble beach. It was empty.

Split, the city of cats!





Nap time!

After lunch, we walked by the water









The ice cream shop was the Ciprianis- Benedetti Palace.

What I Learned from This Trip

What have I learned from traveling for a year? The last homework assignment for my kids was an essay about what they learned about our trip around the world. I told them that Gregory and I had to do it as well. Here I am, in front of my laptop and not knowing what to start with. I know it will be me who has changed and not the people or the places around me. I know this by experience because I have been away before and I know that the biggest changes happen inside you, in the way you see things, your perspective changes and I believe that’s where the growing happens.

The kids had a wonderful time resting in the room and went out for lunch on their own. They are so aware of their expenses, they told us that a bottle of water cost 60 THB at the restaurant, and in the market, it cost 10! So Daniel went to the 7/Eleven and bought a bottle there. I guess they have learned to live on a budget since that’s what we have been doing. The kids wanted to stay in the room but we decided to take the boat ride to see some of the city. They still whined and complained but we made them do i...
