A blog was promised for this journey, so a blog there will be. We are only just now settling in after our very rocky entrance onto the continent. Carl arrived around the 6th of August, Matt and I arrived on the 12th. We were deeply saddened that our beloved bulldog did not survive the journey and we continue to mourn such an important member of our family. Thank you to everyone who has expressed sympathy.
We are fortunate to be in a home with beautiful gardens resplendent with fruit trees and tropical flowers. As if the garden wasn't enough to wow us, there is a peacock who shares our yard. He's really quite lovely.
Matthew started school last week. Although he misses his friends in Vermont terribly, he's doing quite well. The beauty of an International School is that transitions are a part of life, and new students are the norm rather than the exception.
Although we continue to be surprised at every turn, we are becoming a bit more acclimated to our new environment. More to follow as we venture out to see the world that is Africa.
