In search of an opportunity to experience another way of life, teach at an orphanage, and immerse ourselves in a vastly different culture, we boarded a plane in Boston and four stops, twelve time zones, and 28 hours later we emerged in the tropical heat of Denpasar, Bali. Please have a look at some great captioned photos and share in our experience. As any good Balinese would do, we offer thanks for your curiosity and friendship.

Location: Kaiteriteri, New Zealand

From Wanaka we track north through the mountains to the northern coast of the South Island.

One of the many startling displays at the show-this one showing how global warming and rising seas affect communities with a bit more water frontage than ours.

The outdoor art show signboard in Wanaka...a thought provoking experience that, for a moment, inspired all of us to live more simply...perhaps in a cave eating only weeds and grass.

Puzzling World in Wanaka. Jennifer thought it was an electrifying experience...

The technique is simple (if creepy.) Slather some dog food on a popsicle stick and hold it out. The eels slither out of the water (and all over you if you choose) and sort of suck it off the stick. Who needs a kitten when you can have a pet eel?!

There is nothing quite like the anticipation that comes when one is offered the chance to feed live eels!

We're enjoying ourselves immensely, really we are. We can't have a bit of sleet and gale force winds ruin our family outing to Mt. Arthur!
