Day 151 - Dinner with Brighitte at Tamir at their home

Saturday, December 1st, 2018.

We spent all morning at home resting. Sunshine should have done homework but she is following the Shabbat schedule. It was a rainy day so we stayed home most of the day. Late afternoon, Gregory and I walked to the near shopping mall looking for an open cafe. Everything was closed, except a nearby restaurant and we found a restaurant-coffee place in the Mall. We had our expensive cappuccino and talked to a waiter who spoke good Spanish because he had lived in Tamaulipas, Mexico!
Afterward, we got an invitation for dinner by Ron's Liberman's cousin and her husband. They invited us for dinner. I thought that was extremely nice.  Tamir, the husband came to pick us up and drove us to his apartment. We had a lovely time and I think we clicked from the very beginning because we didn't stop chatting. Dinner was so delicious and the kids were thrilled to eat different kind of pasta and many other varieties that I haven't cooked in a while. She also served us a yummy yam soup! After dinner, Daniel played the piano and we had dessert in the living room. We truly had a lovely time and once again, I'm just amazed about how nice and open people have been with us. I made a promise that my home will be open for visitors from all over the world, even if I don't know them. Of course, maybe the can stay if they are friends of friends or come with a letter of recommendation, ha, ha, kidding!
We took our selfie for the record, said our goodbyes and Tamir drove us back home around 10:30pm!

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. Right now, we might not be able to see it because it is too soon, but once we go back to our routines and our daily old lives, we will see, feel and live the change. I’m happy to say that one of my biggest dreams was to travel around the world. I always wrote in my journal that I wanted to visit more countries or just travel more with my family, but I always wrote them as a wish, a dream and I never really worked to make ...

Day 309 - Lunch with Gregory’s friend Axel - River Bus - Golden Mount Temple

Sunday, May 12, 2019. After last night's adventure, we told the kids they could sleep in today. Around noon, Gregory and I went to meet Axel, an old German friend of Gregory's. We had a delicious lunch at Coffee Beans by Dao. We had a lovely time chatting until 3:00pm when the waiter told us that they wanted to close the restaurant. Axel drove us back to our hotel and we promised to get together next time with his wife and daughter, who is two years older than Sunshine. 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...
