Carolyn Watson Dubisch is a children's book writer and illustrator from the state of New York. One day in November of 2007, Carolyn, her husband, Mike and their three daughters piled into a rental car, drove to the airport and stepped on a plane to a city at the bottom of the world. This blog is the story of their journey and of their adjustment to living in foreign city in th Andes mountains...And then, after nearly two years they came back, but not to the small, rural town they left in Upstate New York, but to the city of San Diego, California. A huge city, where it never rains... At least not yet.
