Trip to Devon

Just two days after we got back home, we packed and we were off to Salcombe with Will's family. It was a great idea to get all together to celebrate Will's dad's 70th Birthday. It was a beautiful holiday and we had a very nice and relaxing time.

In the last day, a nice surprise came from Will when he wanted to do a double kayak with me

Devon area is very nice and we were quite lucky with nice weather, so we did some geocaching in the area, generally following the coastal footpath and went for an evening estuary cruise.

Back home and last days of our trip to Romania

I know, I know, it's been a few weeks since we got back home from Romania and nothing on the blog, but we have been incredibly busy. It was so good to see Will again after 3 weeks in Romania without him. It was nice to visit family and friends back home, but it feels better to be back where our home is now.

Last few days in Romania were nice and my best friend prepared a nice surprise for me, showing up in Brasov from Los Angeles unexpectedly. Here are some pictures of the day we met.

Meeting Oli in Brasov

Last day at home I also had the pleasure to meet Crissy and Zico who came over from Colorado.
