Stickers are officially on and our boat has a name.
We are Bedouin. We chose the name for several reasons. Bedouins are semi-nomadic people who took their homes with them when they travelled. They were known for many things, among them, their hospitality, loyalty to family, and pride of ancestry–three qualities we find admirable.
Before we officially chose this name, we asked our good friend, who comes from Bedouin ancestry and who beautifully embodies all three of these attributes in her life, if this would be a name we could adopt and she gave us her blessing.
As we take our home with us wherever we go, we’re hoping to bring those ideals with us along the way.
Here’s to our splash tomorrow, and many wonderful Bedouin days ahead.
