Goodbye Bariloche!!

I've been avoiding writing this post for four weeks, because I knew it would make me cry. On May 12th we boarded a plane, with 20 pieces of luggage, three kids, and our cat and left our wonderful home in the Andes to San Diego, California. There were many valid reasons... family, work, continually struggling with the language (those "foriegner moments" that just never stop for expats). But what it came down to and what was really evident when we arrived here in San Diego is that we are really needed here.
Our time in Bariloche is something we all will cherish for the rest of our lives. Argentina is a beautiful country with kind and wonderful people that we all miss every day. Below are some photos of some of the people who will always be in our hearts.


Naomi's best friend Kuana, who decided to run out of the photo at the last minute...


Kalea, Naomi, Chole, Tor, and Phoebe... Not pictured are Kalea and Tor's parents, Jill and Peter who just moved to Bariloche from Alaska.
