Almost 3 months into our Journey, we finally get to the long awaited Travel Blog.
I will start by saying most of the writing here will be done by me – Michal. Elan is busy saving the world 😍.

My initial plan was to post a new update from each campground and share our experiences from that area, but life has its own rhythm , and life while  in a journey even more. So we dive into that rhythm and let it show us the path.

I will not belabor you with all the details of the first part of this adventure, eventually I will gather my toughts and add some from our social media and create a new post just for that first part. In two words I will  say here it was crazy intense, and I am so happy to be  where we are today.

Today is our 3rd wedding anniversary, we honored our tradition of writing to each other on this special day, both of us aknowledgeing   and realizing the home we have created for ourselves and for each other. It is beautiful and healing to know we create a home, even though we move around and explore places we have never been to. My ability to explore is limited, since I injured my ankle and knee just before embarking on this adventure, but if we are lucky I get to see beautiful places right from our back door. 

Speaking of home, we actually landed in a campground which to say it nicely, is a big nothing in the middle of nowhere with nothing around, and nothing inside. We arrived here after staying in a site backing up to a beautiful lake, with a magical microcosm of life, waking up to birds, ducks and iguanas and colorful striking sun rises on the water.  It is a bit shocking and confusing after finding in the previous place, precious moments with ourselves, with nature and with each other, to be here and just “be”.  At first we thought it would be a great opportunity to focus inwardly and get things done indoors. Unfortunately because we are surrounded by artificial water canals, and endless fields of sugar canes, sitting outside is not an option, not even for the dogs. This is a big parking lot with no nature around and many species of bugs and mosquitoes. So instead of sitting and waiting for the time to pass, locked up with two dogs in a tin can  (very well equipped tin can), I sat a whole day on websites of campgrounds, and tomorrow we leave to the west coast of Florida, hoping to sit by inspiring waters again, settle in, and find more space to live this dream while feeling content and free to do our thing. 
Both Elan and I have been thinking a lot about what our thing is. I think it is beginning to reveal, which already makes all this journey worthwhile .

Happy 2022 to all of us. 
I think we have learned from the past 2 years not to make assumptions or make too many promises for a future yet unknown.

But it wouldnt hurt to wish for this year to be good and meaningful, to hope for the best, and to pray a lot.

Thanks to whom ever reads this. Let us know you are here with us.

Love,
Elan & Michal
