The Big Field Trip

The Big Field Trip What do you get when a hick and a hippie get the harebrained idea to drag three children, five backpacks, and a garlic press around the world?

I still don’t know what foolish notion possessed us—Jason a teacher/amateur chef, and me a translator/control-freak—to drop everything and drag our three children to a dozen countries across five continents on a two year around-the-world journey. In October 2008 we set off on the adventure that has since

become known as The Big Field Trip. We stayed for two to three months in each country, mostly in the developing world where our dollars stretched farther. After our arrival in each country, we strove to travel as little as possible, with a goal of missing all of the standard tourist sites and doing our best to stay off the gringo trail. We steered clear of hotels and instead arranged home-stays in the hopes of getting to know each community more intimately, while also establishing some semblance of a stable home life for the children and meeting some very interesting characters along the way.

Couldn’t help but make a side trip to the pottery town of Tlaquepaque, which literally means “place on knolls of clay.” For centuries local potters have been supplying the surrounding area with crockery.

Perhaps the last bouquet of the year from my greenhouse. Got down to 17° last night, and even the calendula is unhappy about it. Calendula petals are the secret ingredient in my potters balm as they are known to cure all types of skin ailments.

So much fun being shown around Hawaii by our baby who’s now 18 years old and on a big field trip of his own! Cruz is an adrenaline ju**ie, and highlights thus far have included climbing up waterfalls, jumping off cliffs, snorkeling with sea turtles, swimming across rivers, summiting a volcano, exploring tunnels, catching tree frogs, learning (more than we would like) about the Hawaiian legal system, and of course, exploring the many ways to enjoy spam. **ie .
