For years the two of us have been harboring a dream, to take a year off to travel together with our son, Brook. We're delighted to now be fulfilling that dream. In July 2011 we began the trip of a lifetime, traveling around the world. We are learning from and adventuring amidst other cultures, schooling Brook along the way, and creating fantastic family memories. Please share your comments and questions! - John and Eydie

Kente Weaving

Last night we stayed with Chris Adams, a Peace Corps volunteer in Tafi Abuipe. The village is known for it's kente weaving. Generally, the young men weave in their back yard. They use a lot of bright colors in their weaving - pink, orange, gold. I enjoyed watching the patterns appear. It looked frenetic because they were weaving fast and they would shake the shuttle every time before passing it through the warp. It was mesmerizing to watch, somewhat like watching a fire.  - Brook
