Our Global Journey

It started out as a perfect evening.  We took a crazy dirt road with huge divots to a private beach on Kapchagay Lake in Kazakhstan.  We all pitched our tents and started enjoying the calm waters of the evening.  We were camping with some French families that we had become good friends with as our children all went to school together in Almaty.  It was almost like glass, and the temperature was perfect.  The kids were paddle boarding, digging sand pits, and the adults had fun wading in the water.  Tents lined up for our perfect evening. What a great way to learn how to paddle board - on perfectly calm water! There was barbeques lamp chops, chicken, salads, French cheese, and mojitos to go around.  After the campfire, laughs, and good stories, we all retreated to our tents to be lulled to sleep by the sound of the lake. Campfires, games, stories and good food for a great, unsuspecting evening! About 2 AM we were all suddenly woken up by an insane wind storm!  The wal

We spent two summers in Clare, Nova Scotia and adored our time there.  Clare is a French speaking region of Nova Scotia, and has a very unique culture.   One of our favorite things to do was go to the local Friday night Lobster feast every week!  One of the local fishermen would bring in lobster that they caught that day and cook it up, right there on the beach.  They would sell whole lobsters for $20 CDN, along with rolls and of course some melted butter.    We would bring our own sides and bottle of wine, and then sit on a blanket or picnic table on grass overlooking the beach, enjoying local bands, and the sunset over the ocean. The local baker was there selling homemade desserts, so the evening always ended extra sweet. Audra's parents even came for a visit all the way from California - and the drove in an RV! They said the lobster was worth the drive.  :)  Be sure and check out our new instagram page!  #fivetraveling #ourglobaljourney
