Oh the Places We'll Go!!


Welcome Friends & Family! This is your sure portal for effectively stalking us while we make our way through a year filled with adventures, discoveries, insight, and a whole lot of beans and rice (with fried plantains as well, of course!)

We want to begin by deeply thanking each one of you for your kind support in making this adventure happen for us. Some of you have contributed financially to it, and some have done so by giving us the deepest expressions of encouragement and inspiration to embark on this trip. To us, both manifestations of support are just as important, and we cannot thank you enough for being there for us in one way or another.

Because of that, we hope to establish a conversation with each one of you through this vehicle. We’d love for you to always feel free to respond to our postings, send us messages, and/or just simply tell us how many Passion Fruits (on a scale from 1-5) you give a particular posting that you liked reading.

A little bit on the name of our Blog: Passion Fruits are a prevalent crop across the Caribbean, Central & South America, much like Apples are the emblem crop for Washington State. Since we are going to be on those latitudes (the famed Intertropical Convergence Zone, between the Tropic of Cancer and the Equator), we’re hoping to etch, in time, vignettes that leave on your spiritual palate the sweet sensation that “a thing of Beauty is a joy forever,” as Keats would say.  Thus, the “fruit” of our “passion” for travel and adventure will materialize through our Blog entries, each one of them conceived with a passion for what lays beneath what at first meets the eye.

We look forward to you joining in our experience, either physically or virtually, at any given point of our adventure. Our casa is your casa as well. No doubt. 

With all the love and warmth in the world,
  
Kat & Ario
