I wish there was more to write home about. It’s quiet over here— kind of. The house is usually filled with screaming, running children (Marlowe included), but once they nap, or our door is closed, it’s quiet. Marlowe and I wake up, spend a few minutes in bed, brush our teeth and head upstairs. We eat breakfast, take a stroll or walk down to the beach, and prepare and eat lunch. Marlowe naps, I cook, we head outside or lounge around, I cook some more, dinner time, and we retire to our bedroom for quiet time. In fact, other than our quick walks or beach time, we haven’t really left the house. We took one quick drive with Maryam a few days ago, ate some treats at a roadside farm, and headed back. It was our only small, sugary and delicious adventure. The island is small, one hour from end to end. It’s different for us, to be so far from home, surrounded by so many new things, and unable to just pick up, explore, and go. I know there are many tourists, locals, visitors, and explorers out here, but what I can hear is the breeze, tropical birds, and the cars driving back and forth on the road. I look forward to the end of Marlowe’s nap, when we can see how far our tiny feet can take us.

Looks like this is just what you and Marlowe needed! Some peace

It sounds wonderful out there. Oh, so peaceful!
Exploring without map, tourist information and local advice is soo much more exciting! Marlowe's curiosity and your openness to new things will take you anywhere. xxx

I love the theme here. Usually feet kinda gross me out, but you take some beautiful pictures!
I adore your blog. Your photos tell such amazing stories, such an eye for photography, and your daughter is so lucky to have such a great mommy.
so much beauty.
Where exactly are you? I've vacationed pretty extensively on 4 Hawaiian islands so I know my way around. I bet you're feeling the opposite of anxiety right now, right? LOVE.
Even beautiful places take some adjustement. I'm sure this is a beautiful yet challenging time for you, stay strong and positive! S.
It must be strange being in a new place with new people and a new way of life. I think you're very brave. And it's great that you are giving Marlowe the opportunity to live a free and versatile life from a young age, I think it will really shape her in the long run. Stay positive 🙂
