A Bunting Explanation

You may have noticed that we left for a bit. Two weeks to be exact. Two wonderful weeks of vacationing and doing nothing in particular, but then again some days were quite magical (more on this soon)! We disconnected, relaxed (more me than my sister), went to the ocean, ate, saw new and not so new things, and the days went by pretty much in that order.
So before we get into all that we saw, ate and did, we wanted to explain something. Recently many friends have been asking why the name, "One Bunting Away". What it means?
Well, we picked it rather quickly, mostly because I had made a sketch of a map and a bunting going from Brooklyn to Amsterdam. It simply stayed with us (the sketch and the name). Since most of the times we are not in the same city we like to think that we are just one bunting away from each other, and not many, many miles away. And also because we LOVE buntings!!
If we kept thinking about a name we would probably still be thinking about it.

Habran notado que nos hemos ausentado por un tiempo, dos semanas para ser exactos. Dos maravillosas semanas de vacaciones y de hacer nada en particular, asi y todo vivimos algunos dias llenos de magia (esperen pronto mas acerca de ellos)! Nos desconectamos, relajamos (yo mas que mi hermana), fuimos al mar, comimos, vimos cosas nuevas y otras no tan nuevas, y los dias pasaron mas o menos en este orden.
Antes de contarles todo lo que vimos comimos e hicimos quisiera explicarles algo, recientemente varios amigos han estado preguntando sobre el origen y significado del nombre del Blog "One Bunting Away".
Lo escogimos mas bien rápido, surgio del bosquejo que hicimos donde unas "banderitas" (bunting es el nombre de estas "banderitas" en ingles) se atravesaban de Amsterdam a Brooklyn (como se ve en el blog). La mayoria de las veces estamos en ciudades diferentes y nos gusta pensar que estamos separadas por una tira de banderitas y no por miles de kilometros. Y tambien nos encantan las banderitas!!
Creo que si hubieramos pensado mas sobre el nombre todavia estariamos decidiendo. 

Again an ocean separates us so we are happy to be back blogging. A bit rusty (I think), after all that time away from the computer, but with exciting things to share with you!
So how many buntings away are you from your loved ones, or are you lucky enough to have them close by?

Otra vez un oceano nos separa y estamos felices de volver al Blog. Un poco fuera de forma despues de este tiempo alejadas del computador pero con muchas cosas para compartir!
Cuantas banderitas los separan de las personas que mas quieren, o tienen la suerte de tenerlos cerca?
