We’re baaaaack!

Whew! It’s been a while since the last post, but we do have a good excuse. We were back in the States!

While there, we split our time among Denver, Columbia (Missouri), and Cameron (Missouri). It was an absolute whirlwind--sometimes, even literally. I have a video of the crazy wind and tumbleweed we encountered on our drive across Kansas, but Blogger is cranky and won't let me post it.

We managed to get a ton of things done while we were home and see a lot of friends and family. If you were one of them, thank you for taking some time out to visit. We miss you all and really enjoyed the chance to catch up. (And extra thanks to those of you who gave us a bed to rest our weary heads.)

We also managed (finally!) to get Kobi to Honduras. She’s settling in here and has been blessed with a recent cool streak in the weather. Here’s a picture from her first boat ride as we headed back to the lodge.
