April 2023 -Caguas Botanical Garden, Paddleout Celebration, Butterfly Festival

April 2023 was a busy month as well. Lots of fun times on the farm and a few adventures of of town such as to the beautiful Caguas Botanical Garden. We also enjoyed some times with friends including some who came to visit us from Colorado. Unfortunately a friend of ours died while surfing and we attended her paddleout ceremony. Life has such a strange highs and lows. Aeden is growing up quite the jungle boy and can catch just about anything around the farm from chickens to geckos and spiders. We also enjoy going to our friends annual butterfly festival in support of the endemic butterfly Atlantea Tulita.

We love and miss you Toni!

January 2023

In January of 2023 we took a few local trips around Aguadilla, Lares, Cabo Rojo, and more. In Lares we even stopped at the spot that we had at one point in time nearly bought! What nostalgia that brought up. So many moments of waiting, wishing and hoping for a life in Puerto Rico. And now we live it every day, albeit in a different area of Puerto Rico. 2023 marks a full 10 years since we made the giant leap to move our life completely.  Interesting the twists and turns of fate and choice.

December 2022 -Navidad and Fiesta Jibara de Quebradillas!

Christmastime in Puerto Rico is always so much fun! Bright, cheerful, warm and loud, it’s about the opposite of the somber quiet home time it was in Colorado! This year we got to celebrate the Fiesta Jibara in Quebradillas and that was extra special!
