La Luna de Miel Larga

We’re on the tail-end of a crazybusy trip encompassing a large section of the west coast of North America.  We returned to the States April 15th, flying into the utterly exhausting LAX on separate flights after parting ways in Lima the night before.  I picked up a rental car and drove around a bit waiting for Aviva to arrive, then we headed north to Santa Barbara to visit my sister Hannah and her family for the night.  It was really just a break on our longer road-trip up to San Francisco, where we spent Passover with Aviva’s family and visited with a lot of old friends for a week or so.  Then it was back down to LA to attend the fabulous wedding of Aviva’s cousin Alex and his bride Rebecca.  The whole weekend was fantastic, and we had a great time seeing everyone, catching up, and partying hard.

Leaving LA for what would hopefully be the last time, we drove back up to Santa Barbara with Aviva’s folks, this time staying for a few days to have a proper visit with Hannah, Chris, and the kids.  Then it was back up to San Francisco for another visit with friends and family before flying up to Portland to spend time with my parents.  After a few days, Aviva and I drove up to Vancouver, BC, for a couple of days of reunions with friends and old professors.  Then back down to Seattle/Tacoma to visit friends and go to my brother’s college graduation weekend.

This last week has just been wrapping up last-minute errands here in Portland before we head back to Peru for another 6 months.  That’s about it for the past 6 weeks or so, with a lot of details missing, but once we get our photos organized we might have some more to tell.  But we also have some pretty exciting stuff coming up in the next few weeks, not to mention the rest of our time in Peru, so we’ll keep you posted (hopefully with a bit more regularity)

Cheers,
Chris
