I’ve been hitch hiking down memory lane.
Enjoying the view. Remembering the smells.
Because it’s been almost two years since we last boarded a 747 headed toward the Southern Cross.
Two years is a lifetime when measured in relationships. Relationships that need consistent contact to thrive.
Two years I will talk more about tomorrow.
But today, today I am simply looking back and enjoying the view.
South Africa
My little brother’s wedding
Ukraine-Hungary Border
En route to a wedding, a 12 hour train ride
Prague, Czech Republic
Most romantic of destinations, one of our last trips before we had kids and while we were still working in Ukraine
Krakow, Poland
Beautiful city; tragic witness to Auschwitz
Elmina, Ghana
The coast is wild, the current ferocious, and many fisherman
are lost to the sea
Budapest, Hungary
Embarrassed to admit that after months in the former USSR our first stop was not this incredible church but the more mundane, yet nearly as satisfying, Pizza Hut
DC Metro Area, USA
Fourteen years, three continents and two kids later we’re back where it all started. And it feels like home.
All the photos and the memories were made by me. If you’d like to use one, I’d be flattered. Just kindly credit Lisa-Jo @ thegypsymama and link back to me, m’kay?
This post is my way of unwrapping something extraordinary on just another ordinary Tuesday. This is one of my favorite things to do along with the other folks at Chatting at the Sky. You should too.

Awesome pictures! I love travel and think it’s amazing that you’ve been to so many incredible places…and there’s nothing wrong with Pizza Hut. : )
Slightly envious of all your travels! Thanks for sharing the gorgeous pictures. I loved hearing about your first experiences when you came the the States for college. It’s not quite the same, but it reminded me of when I met some girls from California at college in MI. We have thunderstorms all the time here, but they had never experienced them in CA! When it would storm, they would run to the window and watch for lightening. Free refills are great no matter where you’re from!!
Mmmm… I would love to visit the Czech Republic!
