We've been out walking nearly every day of this little school break. It's been wonderful to have the time to explore with the kids, peeking under rocks and mushrooms, climbing on hills, collecting treasures. Yesterday we walked for nearly four hours, cut through a farmer's field and came out practically at our front door. The kids were so excited to find a secret path leading right to our house, but I was a little nervous about getting caught trespassing on mister grumpy farmer's property. I just kept humming "This land is your land" in my head and keeping my head low.
As I was walkin', I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side, it didn't say nothing
Now that side was made for you and me.
I hope we aren't crazy for leaving behind our little slice of paradise. I'll be on a quest when we get to Shanghai to find the best park in the city. One where you can walk on the grass and sit under a tree, I would hope. If I remember correctly this was the most difficult part of expat life in Mexico for me.
