"To lose the earth you know, for greater knowing; to lose the life you have, for greater life; to leave the friends you loved, for greater loving; to find a land more kind than home, more large than earth"

Let's get started


We are a family of four living in Montevideo, Uruguay. It's a big change from the US and for the better most of the time. There's a lot to get used to. I'll do my best to convey what it's like living here and why we came.
Sometimes it's like going back in time. Sure most modern conveniences are here, but there are ways of living and advances we've taken for granted that bring you back. Well, more like force you back, but sometimes it's a welcome retreat.
Last February we made the move and we've made some progress since. My wife is from here and grew up just a few blocks from the neighborhood we live in. My children are fluent in Spanish as they've heard it since birth. Me, well this is gonna be some challenge.
