Universal Language
Ah, the joys of the universal language of….. Adele??
Last July, during the first week of our adventure, our family cozied up for pizza around a tiny wooden table in one of only two restaurants in a little coastal town of southern Iceland. We were giddy with anticipation of our year — and with the addition of E’s new stuffed puffin, Sven — so when Adele’s “Rollin’ in the Deep” came over the restaurant speakers, we could only barely stop ourselves from bursting into song. Fortunately for our pre-teens, our sense of propriety won out and we were satisfied with only a strong lip-synch of the song.
After that pizza dinner, we went for a fabulous hike with a mind-blowing view. It was just the beginning of a year chock-full of gaining a new perspective.
So…
…fast forward nearly 11 months. Yesterday we took in the crazy and electric Shanghai skyline, from both the bottom and the top. Imagine our delight when, at the Hyatt lounge on the 91st floor of the Shanghai World Financial Center, Adele got our toes tapping — and our lip-synch going — with “Rumor Has It”. Anyone care to dance?
More than a few of us did.
11 months!
I’ve had so many proud moments telling people what you guys are up to. You are brave and amazing!
