Wandering 'round the world with Katherine and Ryan!

Ryan (28) and Katherine (26) decided to uproot their lives and travel the world. We left on our exciting journey on December 15th, 2003. We planned for an entire year but came home after 297 days.

We're back at home now and we're slowly getting settled in. We'll post one last journal entry in a few days summarizing our experience and how we have been feeling trying to get back into the Toronto groove.
