Adventures of a tall girl married to a short boy
Since we have gone to nearly every touristy type of thing that one can go to while in NYC, the St. Patrick's Day parade was no different. I was just lucky that my building sits just off of 5th Avenue where the parade route was. I ran downstairs on my lunch break and joined the crush of tourists taking part in the festivities. I must admit, the tourists were more interesting to me than the parade!!!
We first met in 2006. We'd both quit our jobs and gotten rid of nearly all our possessions to join the Peace Corps. We were headed to the Kingdom of Tonga in the South Pacific. We thought we were prepared for whatever lay ahead, but neither of us had a clue.
In just over 10 months, we were MARRIED!
Since then our adventures have included:
- a year in New York City, living in a Harlem brownstone apartment
- going off-the-grid & into a tent-cabin on tiny Angaur island in Palau
- living with a bunch of teenagers in Shanghai, China while working as dormitory parents
- off-the-grid again & into a barn on 400 forested acres in Vermont
- at the base of volcanos in beautiful Panajachel, Guatemala
- 3 years in North Idaho working on a new career path
And now post career change, we find ourselves in S. Dakota (of all places!!!)
We love to experience this great big world and hope you will join us for the journey!
-- Jason and Carrie
