Snapshots of R&R in the USA: Fourth Stop, “Experiencing the Story of America’s Beginnings”.

Have you checked the blue line on the map [above]? That’s right! 😮 All the driving done, during our so-called Rest and Recuperation [with 3 little kids?!] trip. As many know, we’re currently in La Paz, Bolivia, for our work assignment. And a year from now, we’ll be leaving here, heading to our new post assignment. In order to break our 2-year assignment a little, we headed back to the US for a well-deserved “Rest & Recuperation” {R&R} trip. Three weeks driving from Florida to Delaware, stopping, snapping photo shots and introducing our children to new cities/states.

Fourth stop: Yorktown, Virginia.

Packing our memories out… Preparing our Farewell…

We are always trying to collect unique images from our host city. Downtown Recife encloses several little architecture gems (shown here), gifts from the Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch influences. In the world’s largest Catholic nation, the Recife synagogue has become an important symbol of the Jewish heritage in Brazil. It is one of the main stops on the city’s tourist circuit, located at the Rua Bom Jesus, old town Recife and its archives attract Brazilian and foreign historians.
