Vacation Time!!!

Yes, it's vacation time for us!!!  We've been here for 13 months now and it's time to visit our families and friends--YEAH!  We've enjoyed our time here so much that we can hardly believe it's been over a year!  We're going to miss everyone here so much and you will all be in our thoughts and prayers every day!

It seems like it was just last week when we first landed in Nepal!

Ramon felt like he was "back home" but everything was new for me.  Now everything is "normal" for both of us and we're already looking forward to our return!  We'll miss the sidewalk shops,

 busy streets,

crowded buses,

interesting trucks,

interesting festivals,

watching the rice grow,

(See how high it is beside the young man walking.)

and the amazing views!

We got to wear coats for the first time in ten years!

(notice the view behind us)

Here are closer looks of the mountains through the zoom lens.

We'll be able to read everything.

We look forward to going swimming, but I had to tell Ramon he wouldn't be able to fit this into his suitcase.

Most of all, however, we'll miss our "peeps!"

My amazing sweethearts at the school are deep in my heart and I already miss them dearly!

Ramon is already looking forward to working with "his team" in the OR when we get back!

We'll be missing and praying for our church friends too.

But...we can't wait to visit with our family and friends!  It's time!

We also can't wait to go here

and eat this!

I'm certain we'll swing by this place too!

We'll keep this blog updated so keep popping in.  Enjoy your week and think of us as we travel to Delhi, London, and finally Baltimore, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and then Paraguay!  Bye!
