It was hot during the day so we spent the day in Rover doing homework. In the evening we ventured out again after Olivia went to sleep to enjoy the hot springs pools. The pools themselves are small and not much fun for kids since they are soaking pools. As Olivia was the only kid…

A Big Decision Jan 9-13, 2022
After living in Rover for over 2 years we are starting to feel like a change of pace. Travel in 2022 looks like it will continue to be challenging. Covid cases are higher now than anytime in the past. It is highly unlikely that we will be able to go to China to visit family…
