Our time in Quito came to an end after a lovely dinner with our new friends Sebastian and Andrea. They treated us to what apparently is a real favorite “foreign food” – pizza! I know, funny to eat pizza in Ecuador but it actually was delicious, thin-crusted, and chock full of fresh veggies and on … More Into the Andes: Isinlivi at 9842 feet
Our last full day in Quito was exactly that – full…a day of varied encounters and wide-ranging emotion for me. We started our day with sharing coffee and conversation with two incredible young professionals who have devoted their time and energy to a foundation whose mission is to educate people about the most common cancers … More Meeting Helping Hands and a Family Festival Day
This was our first full day in Quito and we hired a guide so we could get a local perspective on this very diverse city. Luis, a native of Quito, turned out to be a great guide and had a wonderful personality that matched ours well. He was very willing to let us practice our … More Touring Quito: A City with Many Faces
This all started maybe six weeks ago when Andrew and I were discussing our insatiable wanderlust and the fact that we didn’t have a “global adventure” on the books for the foreseeable future. We’d hoped to do a home exchange in New Zealand in 2018 but this wasn’t coming together. We have business and some … More Up in the Air: Quito, Ecuador
Ruthie and I had been plotting a Mom/Daughter adventure ever since our shared journey on the Camino in Spain a few years ago. That 15-day backpacking trek across the northern part of the country (about a third of the entire route) was an incredible turning point in our relationship. Ruthie’s teen years were challenging and … More Belize…Worth the Crazy Journey!
We were blessed with the opportunity to join about 30 people from the Pacific Northwest to participate in the celebration of the marriage of Ben Glassy and Anita Kasina in Vijayawada, India last month. Ben and Ari have known each other since they were small boys on Mercer Island, and over many years Andrew and I … More …And Now, India.
With departure from Barcelona rushing up to meet us at the end of August, Andrew and I decided there are a few last ditch adventures we want to squeeze in before be bid adieu to having Europe in our backyard. There is zero chance that we will not be back to visit and roam our … More Why does my heart hurt?
Well, I am going to have to do a fast forward here as I have been incredibly remiss at blogging the Schorr wanderings over the last many months. We’ve been living in Charlotte, North Carolina since January, supporting Eitan so he could finish high school and get on track for college or whatever his next … More Another change is a Comin’…
The last few weeks have been incredibly busy – filled with visitors, a camino, more visitors, and the growing anticipation of a summer in Seattle reacquainting ourselves with old friends. As the weather gets sunnier, the temperature starts to creep up from blustery to gorgeous, and stuff is blooming all over the place, it drives … More Summer is Nearly Here…I Love this City!
I was thrilled that Andrew decided that he wanted to experience a Camino – a long walk similar to what Ruthie and I did together last Spring in Spain. Andrew met us a day before we finished last year and walked the last bit with us into Santiago – and he obviously took great joy … More Our Camino in France: One Step at a Time
