So this is my second night here. Have not done much except follow people around and sleep. I feel very comfortable and know that it will take me a long time to adjust, let alone learn the language. I already miss several people back home but know that will get easier.
I understood that rain is rare here but it has rained consistently today and yesterday. As a matter of fact, i am told that this year has been very unusual period with the amount of rain. I love the plant life here---I imagine it is brown when it is dry. That will come soon enough. But it is also cold here right now and i was not mentally ready for that!!! The flowers are huge and we have cacti growing in the back yard. This morning I shook out my shoes and a gecko jumped out. I did not scream-yikes i even smiled! It was tiny and I know they eat bugs so it was not very intimidating.
We are making plans for Easter. I will miss Easter at home but I can see there will be a wonderful celebration here. Love and blessings to you all!
