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

La Alberca

Balam (means jaguar in Mayan!)
Since yesterday it feels more like we are studying Spanish at a school and not just at Nelly’s house. Starting this week, there is a student from Belgium that Mauricio is teaching.  Nelly's kids are also back in school after a two-week break.

This afternoon Mauricio, Max (age 9) and Balam (age 5) came over to swim at our pool (la alberca).  The pool toys that we bought at the supermarket were a big hit. Spending time with Nelly’s family is always enjoyable. It’s a great opportunity to learn about the area and to practice our Spanish with slow and patient speakers. This time we added a lagoon within easy biking distance to our list of places to check out.
