I'm writing this from a corner in a new friend's home. This is the only place I have found internet access in our new city. We have been here almost two weeks and it has been an incredible roller coaster ride. Just before leaving the decision was made for us to begin in a smaller city (ONLY 1.5 million) for the purpose of language and cultural acquisition before getting to our final location. It will prove a very wise decision in the long term, but has made life interesting in the now. We apologize for our lack of contact. Our lines of communication have been cut off. Progress is being made though and soon we will have a home of our own. We will hopefully move in by the end of this week. We'll send pictures in the next update!! We are all doing well! The last few days have brought a little stomach trouble. Please ask that it would not become an obstacle! Thanks for all your concern! We feel your support!! The pictures were taken with a camera phone (I apologize for the clarity). The first is in the sleeper train we rode to our new city, then pure joy of ice cream, new friends, and a shot of us riding a 3 wheel bicycle rickshaw (our main mode of transport). I'll get a better picture of this in the future!!! We can get all the way across town for 25 cents!!!
