Olon for a Week

We had one week in Olon between our spring break adventure and a week in Cartagena with Addie, Cristhian, Lucia and Mateo and we made the most of our time on the beach.

We hosted a very informal final-day-of-Passover party with wonderful friends, Mei, Alex, Hayden, Ang, Asher, Lia, Ryan, Isla, Lake, Alana and Robyn. With the exception of Robyn and Alana, none had been to (or perhaps even heard of) a Passover Seder. It was fun to share a tradition with some members of our little Olon world. We are still figuring out our family’s Jewish traditions, but it’s nice to experience holidays in different countries.

We also went to one of Talia’s classmates’ birthday party, which was a ton of fun, and Talia watched her friends perform in a telas “show” (and hopped on the telas after the show).

Talia was also excited to welcome us to her school for her “parent teacher” conference. Talia only reports on her time running around in the mud, finding tarantulas and swimming in the river at school, so it was nice to hear about other things she’s doing (though mud, spiders and the river are pretty central to her experience).Read more
