Around the Northwest
Nowadays we're not writing about adventures Around the World. Instead, we're reflecting on our adventures in the Pacific Northwest, the one place we've been that feels like home in every way. We miss the habit of reflection that we cultivated on our big trip; and we miss the simple act of documenting our experiences too. So we'll be doing some of that here.
