Life as a nomad

Adventures in Aberdeen

It seems that living life as a nomad, as kelli and I seem to be, brings us into contact with a certain amount of odd experiences that usually would elude our rather mundane existence. For instance, on our normal day to day existence we probably would fail to see a man (think Doc from Back to the Future) running across the road with a T.V. being missed by a bus by 6 inches.

Life as nomads has also put us into contact with very generous people - who have gone well beyond the socially obligatory dinner, but who have invited us in to their lives and allowed us to rest in their graces. We find this odd as Americans, who seem to value a certain level of independence, even in rather odd circumstances, rather than depending on one another. But it has really been a blessing and an exciting time in life as we have to learn how rely upon people we barely know.

Anyway, I regress. Welcome to our blog. It will most certainly be random, but hopefully enlightening as to life in the highlands for two odd americans.
