Well here it is our blog for our 2014 adventure - the adventure down under in Australia. We, Sean, Krystin, Matthew and Kade Rennie, are heading to Australia for a year. The adventure starts before we actually get to where we will live. We are heading to New Zealand on Christmas day for a little family vacation then off to the east coast of Australia before settling in Falcon in Western Australia. We will be about an hour south of Perth on the Indian Ocean. So stay tuned as we plan to post often to keep our family and friends up to date on our adventure.

Temples, Terraces and Teaching

Another busy day in the Ubud area filled with adventure.  Today we visited the Pura Gunung Lebah Campuhan Temple in Ubud as well as the Ceking Legendary Rice Terraces Tegallalang.  Sean and Matthew then took a tour of the Green School while Kade and Krystin got massages and did some shopping.
To get into the temple everyone must wear a sharong - the kids
thought this was so much fun!

Matthew and Sean visited the Green School just outside of Ubud.  This is an international private school from Kindergarten to High School and is located on the Ayung River.  It is a school that has been designed to be ecological and sustainable and will be completely off the grid later this year. It's focus is on sustainable education creating an environment where the students learn about sustainability and are creative with their learning.
