I’m Suzy and I’m writing this in real time from… DANCE CAMP! My 6 year old joined a friend’s dance Bollywood dance troupe for a morning summer camp.

They’ve worked on their dance routine all week for today’s final performance!

I’m reminded that it is important to try something new occasionally. He was a bit resistant at first but it helped his friend is here too.

Turns out dancing is a great activity even if you have two broken arms!

And for a kid who doesn’t sit still, dance is a great activity!

5 more days and he will be cast-free… but who is counting (me, that would be me)?!

Eric, Brittany and Caspian Highland are driving around the world!

Background: Eric and Brittany started full-time traveling in 2014. When their son Caspian joined the family in 2016, they just kept going!

In 2018, when they discovered a group of people actually driving around the world and instantly decided they wanted global overlanding to be our next adventure.

After a few trial runs in Mexico, they left the U.S. in 2021 to drive south to the tip of South America.

Where Are They Now? In 2026, they shipped their vehicle to the continent of Africa to continue their overlanding adventure.

Did you know? This weekend’s World Cup final between Spain and Argentina bridges two countries that share many similarities:

  • Historical Connections: Spanish colonizers in the 1500s named Argentina after the Latin word for silver (argentum).

    • They didn’t find silver but the name stuck.

  • Funky Time Zones: Argentina should span four different time zones but operates on just one.

    • Spain’s has been the ‘wrong time zone’ since dictator Francisco Franco aligned it with Nazi Germany in WWII.
