This time tomorrow we should be in the air heading West, on our way to Lhasa, Tibet! We are completely thrilled to be able to have the opportunity to visit this rather famous region. Hopefully, we'll have a bunch of pictures showing off the incredible beauty of the area and the unique people/culture when we return.
One prayer request ... that we would not get severe altitude sickness. Lhasa is 3600 meters and during our week we'll travel up to over 5000 meters. We've heard stories from co-workers who got so sick they had to return after a day or two and are hoping that won't happen to us. :(
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!
