Friends

We had seen this family riding their bikes around for a couple of weeks and finally met up with them at the beach.  They are a beautiful surfing family from France and are homeschooling their kids here.  They plan to buy a lot and build some cabinas to rent out and stay for a while because they love it so much.  We had them over for dinner and had a lovely time speaking English!  A couple of days later they brought us some homemade French crepes!  Soooo delicious!  I love friends!

We are missing the connections with friends and family and are so happy to find others with our same ideals and sense of adventure.  Although it sounds fun to pack up and start a new life somewhere, we are finding that we really love our families and friends.  We could definitely travel a lot, but Utah is awesome and we'll probably stay there forever.

We ran into another family from Utah with 8 kids who left their home and brought their last 2 kids to Costa Rica to start a touring company.  Wow!  We felt good when the guy was describing a hike to a waterfall and said, "Well, you've got hardy kids from Utah so you'll be fine."  Hardy.  I love it! If Utah is producing hardy kids from pioneer stock, we'll take it.
