We didn't need much from the grocery store, but wanted to upgrade the patio a little. We purchased a patio umbrella which allows us to enjoy the patio much later into the afternoon by shielding us from the searing Honduran sun. We were wondering why we hadn't bought the umbrella earlier and realized that we couldn't have because the stores that sell an umbrella we liked weren't open yet.

We do feel that the measures that we have been forced to take, have kept us safe and have kept others around us safe as well. So while we are bored we don't feel like it is a such a terrible thing for us to do in terms of the social impact.

Kerry and I are preparing for yet another move. In August, we will be moving to San Pedro Sula (SPS), Honduras. SPS will be the first place we live in Central America. I spent the winter searching for my next job and found a job in an international school called, Escuela Internacional Sampedrana. It is an international school with 1500 students set in the foothills of the Merendón mountains in the department on Cortés. The campus is beautiful and the students are very nice and speak English at an almost native level. I will be the Dean of Academics in charge of the AP Capstone program, teaching strategies professional development, and an internship program that I have to have ready to go by the end of the year. </div>

It will be a bit of a transition for me considering that I haven't worked in high school yet and I haven't taught since 1996. :) I guess I will be a little ahead of Kerry as she hasn't <u>ever</u> taught. We will both teach the same class. I will have 10th grade students and Kerry 11th grade students. We will teach the AP Seminar class for the first time in the school. We both are looking forward to the experience. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So we are now in full transition mode. We have moved a bunch of our things to Jenny and John's house and have them stored there until July 23rd when they will be packed and shipped to our house in SPS. </div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 12.8px;">Our stuff ready to move to Honduras</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In the meantime, we are heading to Tommy's house today, the cottage on Monday, training in Baltimore the following week and the cottage for the final two weeks before the move on July 29th. Oh yeah, and we are visiting friends in Rhinelander during those final weeks after training as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So that is the update. I will begin posting some of my favorite pictures to this site. I will also begin a transition away from Facebook. I just feel like it is all getting too big and I am too connected to the website and I shouldn't be so connected to anything that much. I am going to try to continue to be in contact with friends and family through this website and I haven't decided yet how exactly I am going to post the pictures. I feel like this is a good forum or I might make a more private website. Once I figure it all out I will send a notification to all friends and family as to where to find me. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The transition will be slow, but I hope to make it so that I am able to keep in contact with everyone easily. It might take a bit more work to stay connected, but our friendships are worth it. </div>

The first week was a bit tough trying to figure out where we are in Quito and which neighborhoods are safe and which are not so safe. It was also a little tough to fall into a rhythm, which we are working on now. <br />
<br />
In an effort to get some structure into our lives we have begun our Spanish lessons. Last week Monday we decided we'd better get going on the lessons and get some structure in our lives or we wouldn't do it. So with some trepidation we made our way down to the Spanish school that we chose mainly because it was close to our place and we could find it. We had another school picked out but we couldn't find it. <br />
<br />
The lessons cost $8.00 per hour. To ramp up, we chose to have two days of two hour lessons the first week, which is a long time to speak only Spanish. My lessons are focused on direct object pronouns, past tense (two types), future tense, reflexive verbs and conversation. I am also doing some reading comprehension and summarizing the readings verbally.<br />
<br />
Next week we have lessons all week from 10:30 - 12:30. This represents a lot more Spanish than I have ever taken. I hope I don't run out of things to talk about with my teacher. Depending on how long we are here, we might have lessons for yet another week after this coming week. In total we might have around 12-14 days of lessons for 2 hours a day. That should help me out immensely when I get to school and on the island.<br />
<br />
In addition to getting the Spanish lessons going, we also have begun hiking again. I say hiking because Quito is high up in the Andes. Unlike the flatness of Cajamarca, Quito has a bunch of extreme hills in the city, which is just like hiking up a paved mountain. The term Urban Hiking has been used in the past with my friend Joel and now I can officially say I am Urban Hiking here in Quito.<br />
<br />
This week Kerry an I hiked around the town quite a bit. The hiking is helping us keep in shape after almost four months of being unstructured. Our hikes included walks around the area we are staying in - Mariscal Foch, a hike to the main square, and a hike to a park called Carolina Park with a beautiful Botanical garden in it. I'm not one for botanical gardens, but I do go to them in all of the cities we travel. I get this wonderful opportunity because Kerry loves them. This one was truly exceptional and we will probably visit it again before we leave and I will like it.<br />
<br />
This weekend we will be walking in a park above the city and will also go to an art museum that we wanted to get to the last time we were here. We try to do one thing a day in addition to the lessons. Some picture of our last week follow:<br />

After my last post, I was returning from my winter break and continuing on my search for a new job.<br />
<br />
Since Feb. 28th I have:<br />
<ul>
<li>Worked for three days </li>
<li>Flown to the Galápagos Islands for 11 days </li>
<li>Went to work for three more days </li>
<li>Moved out of the house in Cajamarca in 2 weeks </li>
<li>Went to the US for 2 weeks </li>
<li>Traveled to Quito, Ecuador for an undetermined amount of time</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
I essentially have not worked much (6 days) since December 13th, 2014. I have been preparing schedules and power points while waiting for my visa papers, but no formal work since December 13th. I am beginning to feel completely <u>untethered</u> and am ready for some structure in my day to day which hopefully will include work, a school and an office.<br />
<br />
I have some pictures prepared from the last couple of months beginning after I returned from my "Summer" Vacation. <br />

It also makes the school year nice and obvious. We start in February and end in December. So last school year was very easy to understand it was the 2014 school year, not the 2014/15 school year. <br />
<br />
That might all change as I look for a new school to work in for the 2015/2016 school year or if I land a particular job I might remain on the southern hemisphere schedule in one of the schools of which I am looking. At the moment things are very up in the air and fluid.<br />
<br />
This year's break brought us home for Christmas, Panama, and Lima before coming back here for two weeks before school begins again. Hopefully the job scene clears up for me in the next couple of weeks. Here are some pictures of the places I went on my summer vacation.... <br />
<br />
We arrived home rather close to Christmas which was nice. Here are some of the pictures:<br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">Rodrigo, David, Korrine Kerry and I went to stay in a cabin at Granja Porcón, a farm in Cajamarca that is an Evangelic community that runs the Atahualpa Jerusalén Cooperative. The farm covers 10,966 hectares and it is home to approximately 1,200 inhabitants who run an agricultural forestry and dairy production plan which invites visitors to participate in the local community work alongside with them. There are also possibilities to go horseback riding through the beautiful pine tree covered area or go fishing for trout.</span></div>

While it's mostly consistent and nice all the time, it can be a little confusing if you try to understand it......I'll try to explain. <br />
<br />
We live in the southern hemisphere which should mean that the Winter season begins on June 21. As we approach June 21, it should be getting colder and as we pass June 21 it should be getting warmer toward Spring and Summer. Summer begins on December 21. The process should go on the same way year after year. <br />
<br />
We are so close to the equator in Cajamarca and at a high altitude, so the weather is much the same day after day. It gets into the low 70s during the day and either in the 40s or 50s at night depending on if it is Summer or Winter. Right now we are about a month from Summer and the temperatures were getting warmer in the morning when I walked to work but this last it has bee really cold. One day it was 1 degree celsius( 33.8) officially, however the picture below is the frost I saw on the way to work. It must have been a soft freeze.<br />

<br />
The Cajamarca rainy season begins in November and lasts to about April. The rainy season is considered Winter because the clouds cover the sun and due to the altitude it is somewhat cooler during the day, maybe in the mid to high 60s but still usually making it to 70. This means that right now we are actually in Winter because of our rainy season, just like the northern hemisphere, but officially it is Summer.<br />
<br />
This can get rather confusing because the department stores have their Summer stock out because on the coast and other places it's Summer. Which between 12:00pm and 4:00pm it is here most days. The rest of the time we need Autumn clothes. To make matters worse, the department stores are also selling Christmas items making it seem like Winter when it really is Summer and they are selling Summer beach items.<br />

The rainy season or Winter is not really a severe rainy season like we see in Wisconsin where it can rain for weeks straight. The rainy season in Cajamarca happens mostly in the afternoon right before we leave from work for the day and/or at night. The rain usually ends right before I go to work around five. Last year, I only had two days when I needed my rain gear on my way to work, however I needed it many days on my way home. Don't get me wrong, the rain can be severe and it can come out of the mountains and destroy houses and other buildings that are made of adobe mud bricks, but it isn't like what we see in Wisconsin.<br />

There is another contradiction to the rainy season. I own a guitar and guitars are very susceptible to the humidity, you have to make sure to keep them humidified. This can be particularly troublesome in the Winter months in Wisconsin when it's very dry. During the rainy season in Cajamarca, we find that our skin dries out and in fact, the air is really dry. Yes, that's right, during the rainy season, the air is really dry. People complain all the time that their fingers are cracking and their skin is really dry, so is my guitar.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
So what do I make of it? I don't really try to make anything of it. I just try to keep warm by wearing my Autumn clothes. During the day between 12 and 4 I can take my warm autumn weight jacket off and enjoy the warm weather and sun. I try to keep my clothes dry during the rainy season and my skin and guitar moisturized when the air is dry. Mostly I am confused about what season and month it is, but also usually comfortable. When I am at home, I try to be in the yard enjoying the moderate temperatures, Paraíso!!!!</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The Incas built a highly advanced network of nearly 40,000 thousand kilometers of trails to connect the distant corners of their vast empire that stretched from Quito in Ecuador down to Santiago in Chile and east to Mendoza in Argentina. Cusco was at the heart of this great empire. Almost all of the principal trails in the mountains surrounding Cusco were built or improved upon by the Incas. However, a particularly beautiful 43km section of mountain trail connecting the important Inca archaeological sites of Runcuracay, Sayacmarca, Phuyupatamarca, Wiñay Wayna and Machu Picchu has become popular with hikers in the last 30 years and has become known as the "Inca Trail to Machu Picchu". Here are our pictures of our Camino Inka!!</span><br />

Fun!!!!!Hello all my beloved followers. <br />
<br />
I haven't written much in the last month or so because my computer has been in Lima again. This time my video card went out and Kerry called Apple and got it covered so it only cost us time and the delivery to Lima for the the repair. I think it cost us about $50.00 total for the repair. We now have about $100.00 into the last two repairs but now I think we have a practically new computer. New Motherboard and power source after the storm and now a new video card.<br />
<br />
Since writing last time I have been documenting most of my travels and parties on Facebook. Since coming back I have been getting to know our new teachers who replaced the ones that left over the summer. We have a couple of people volunteering from Manchester, England (Kiki- go figure- and Louie). We also have four new teachers, June from Perú via Osaka, David from Cleveland via the Philippines and Portland Maine and Rodrigo from Lima via London, Chile and I am sure some other places and Graham from New Zealand he is here on a one year sabbatical. While we miss the people who left, the new people have stepped right up and have been a lot of fun to get to know. I also have a new Head Teacher(Boss) who is also a lot of fun to work with and is from Scotland via most recently Katmandu. So my last month and a half has been interesting getting to know a lot of people and having a lot of fun on the weekends. <br />
<br />
Today we are having our annual Packer Party/Parrilla. I suppose it is really called an Asado which is a barbecue where everyone brings some meat to grill, a dish to pass and something to drink. I will grill during the first game (12:00) and watch the second game (Packer Game) and explain Football Americano!! It should be great fun...<br />
<br />
It appears that the rainy season has begun, because it rained all night last night.... Today I have a slideshow to share with your...<br />

<br />
Well I made it back to Cajamarca yesterday. I was very excited to return and feel like it's my home. Interestingly, I found it more difficult to leave my family and friends this time around, unlike during winter break. I think it has to do with realizing that we have spent a year away and this is actually is going to be my life for a long while. It is not an experiment. It also connects with the amazing feeling I had when I got back to my simpler life in Cajamarca. I have emotionally accepted that this is my home. Not necessarily Cajamarca, but living abroad, traveling, and experiencing the world from a different perspective.<br />
<br />
Don't get me wrong, I love my family and friends and enjoy every minute experiencing their presence. I will continue to miss people and long for my family and friends that can't be replaced. I am however, falling into this lifestyle very easily and feel like I am on the correct course. <br />
<br />
Surprisingly we didn't use our "good" camera at all and only have a few pictures from the I-phone and from others. Here are some of the highlights from my trip. I am sure Kerry will have a different perspective and of course different pictures when she returns in a couple of weeks....<br />

There are waterfalls behind the city to hike to. It is a popular place for the locals to have picnics on the weekends. Llacanora has two waterfalls that Kerry and I have seen a couple of times. We heard that there was another one higher up so this trip was to find that water fall. We never found it, but the following week a student who lives there told us that that waterfall is a myth. It doesn't exist.... Ahhh....<br />

I thought that the only way I was going was if my friend Pete came to visit. Well, Kerry surprised me again, I guess she realized that this was a once in a lifetime experience and that we will probably never get here again to experience it. Kerry's blog has a great description of the trip(http://kerryedwyer.com/2014/07/02/kuelap-the-city-in-the-clouds/), so check out her blog if you haven't already. Here are some pictures that I liked. <br />

This is because our computer went out and we had to send it into Lima for some warrantied repairs. We were two months shy of the end of our three month warranty. Thank goodness because they had to replace the motherboard and power supply. Our $150.00 warranty saved us about $1500.00. <div>

This is because we have not have a nice computer at our disposal and have not been able to get the photos off of our nice camera. I've been trying to take a photo with my nice camera and then a photo with my iPhone for posting. I'm now sitting in Mendoza, Argentina in the dark in the shadow of Los Andes! These mountains are absolutely beautiful. The interesting thing about these mountains versus the Alaskan Range is that these mountains are most always out and visible to people in the area. Our friends Chris and Beth came into town and we just completed two days of wine tasting. We are now on our way to Santiago, Chile to experience the Colchagua Valley. Here are some pictures thus far to document the trip.<br />
