OHIO

We are back, safe and sound, in Bellbrook.  Fun stories to come, but right now we’re up to our eyeballs in boxes of long forgotten possessions.  It’s like a giant Christmas present bonanza!

Just the beginning

A journey of more than 7,000 miles starts today with a walk to the bus station.  Although Salta is about 4,600 miles from Bellbrook as the condor flies, our journey is taking a bit of a zigzag across the continents.
From Salta, we’re busing to Buenos Aires.  We’ll then fly from Buenos Aires to Toronto via [...]

Home sweet…Canada?

That’s right folks, we’re coming home! We’ve committed and thrown down the plastic on two nice bright n’ shiny new plane tickets. We’re coming home…to Canada.
You see, we have a plan:
Step 1: Return to North America.
Step 2: Locate the United States of America.
Step 3: Get pissed off about the state of public transportation [...]

Happy USA Day

Happy belated 4th to those of you back in the US. We had a very American dinner – burger and fries – but other than that there were no celebrations. We tossed around the idea of some fireworks just to undermine the English bosses but couldn´t find the necissary explosives. Oh well, [...]

Welcome to the Bluegrass Airport

We do have a few details to report as to what we’ll be doing for the first [...]

To Do:

Graduate College…check
On Sunday Liz allowed us to check off one of our last obstacles to leaving the country. She graduated college, and managed to do it in fine fashion. Two degrees, magna cum laude and both with honors; I must say I am impressed and proud.
The next couple weeks will be focused on putting together [...]

Ready, Set, Plan!

We’re back on the path of departure after a long lull. All planning has been on hold for the last few weeks with my collarbone saga and then getting graduation requirements out of the way. But that’s all changing now! We’re working on a place to live in Quito, our first job, and arranging language [...]

Z Lefty

Nationals did not go as expected.
The drive out went fine. We left about 2 hrs late…which is on time in OSU Cycling World…and drove in to the night. We stopped halfway at a random motel and then pushed on the next morning to Lawrence, Kansas.
The time trial was…interesting.
