First Impressions

We are in Africa. So far everything is great. The weather is hot and humid since this is the rainy season, or so they tell us; we haven't seen any rain yet. Today we drive up to our training site where we will be living for the next three months. On Saturday we meet our host family and move in with them on Saturday night.

We actually slept with AC last night which was a pleasant surprise. The driving here is pretty crazy. Lots of bikes and motos. To get here we had to cross the street frogger-style. We will type some more and post some pictures when we get a chance. The keyboards are laid out differently so the typing is pretty slow and the connection is going at a turtle-like pace.
In conclusion, we are happy and healthy and cannot wait to start learning some French so we can get around better.
