Hello family and friends! Well, it is finally here. After nearly 2 years of planning, we are headed across the Atlantic for a 10+ week adventure starting in Marrakesh, Morocco, passing throughout Europe, and ending in Istanbul, Turkey.

We will barter in the soukhs of Morocco, walk the cobblestones of Europe, hike the Alps, and see the textures of the Mona Lisa. We will look up into the spires of Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia days before Pope Leo XIV comes to do the same. We will get lost, make mistakes, and be surprised. We will do this together.

On a cellphone, scrolling this site will show a sequence of picture links followed by sequential blogs and then photo albumS. Click the "hamburger" (three horizontal lines) menu in the top left to navigate more quickly.

In the blogs, we will share our accounts of this journey. All four of us will share personal perspectives on the beauty and the chaos we encounter along the way. Join us as we move through the world one improvised solution at a time!

Here we go!
Darrel, Leslie, Finn (13) and Penny Lane (11)
