Settling In

Hey everyone! We just spent our first day here. All of the flights went well, and we all have not had horrible jet lag, but we have take some naps :) Flying into the city was beautiful with all of the lights, and we also flew in just in time to see the sunset from the sky over the sea. So beautiful. Everything is really laid back right now as we are trying to get situated and learn the basics such as getting groceries. That has been the most overwhelming part so far because everything was of course in a different language and I am used to going and getting simple things which they may not have such as a wide variety of cereals to choose from or frozen vegetables. I am very excited that the place I am staying at has a French press. They sell coffee here which is amazing for an addict like me. For all of you out there who are worried about my safety I do feel safe here. Some of the Americans we know here even let their children go outside to play on their own. Sarah and I really like the place we are staying at. It is nice and comfortable. It is different than an American place but hard to explain. I will be helping teach English somewhere with Sarah, and the boys will be at another location teaching. All four of us had dinner at one of the American's places, so it was nice to relax with them, talk, and drink tea. I am already learning and growing a lot. Taking a lot in at this point and trying to process. I am excited for these next two months whatever they may hold. Love to all!
