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

Natitingou, Benin

Enjoying street food
We've met some very cool Peace Corps Benin volunteers here in Natitingou at their "work station" -- a comfortable place to meet up, get a good internet connection, get some online work done, etc.  The work station concept didn't exist when I was a volunteer in this country.  The volunteer in charge of the station graciously invited us to stay here, in his apartment.  We're spending a few days here in what has been our favorite town thus far, taking care of stuff like getting a data SIM card cut down to fit into our Ipad for 3G internet access while in Benin.

    Hi Eydie, John and Brook! Judy sent me the link to your blog and so now I'm following you! Your trip sounds very exciting, challenging and invigorating. I have been fascinated by what you've already experienced in such a short time.
    I look forward to reading about all of your adventures.
    Last night, I went to open house at Franny's high school and found that her social studies class is studying Africa. Is it o.k. if I send the link to your blog to her social studies teacher? The students might be interested in following your travels.
    I also wanted to send you info about my friend from Colombia. I'll send it to your email address.
    Take care and stay well,
    Esther.
