It rained for a quite a long the other day, and when I say that it rained, I really mean that it poured like a banshee for about 30 minutes straight (which is longer than normal, apparently). This resulted in flooded streets, of course, but life went on as usual despite the deep water.
These are some of the fruits that we have enjoyed eating. The purple colored ones are called mangosteens, the colorful prickly looking ones are called rambutans, and the tan spheres are called longans. They are all delicious, but we particularly love the mangosteens and rambutans. Speaking of food, the other picture is of that interesting raw-looking meat that was wrapped in a banana leaf (the one we expected to find sticky rice in, but didn't...).
We'll post pics of the school later... it's a bit "under construction" with final preparations before school starts in about two and a half weeks. But the school itself is really nice and very large. We feel like we're always finding new passageways and bathrooms; it's quite the change from little TLO.Some of the other new teachers arrived last night so we set our school stuff aside and went to the different malls/grocery stores with them today. There are a few young couples around our age, which is fun. Mike already has football/basketball "internet TV" watching buddies, and Karly has a few cute babies to play with to get her "baby-fix". We think it will be a great year!
Are those twin beds or 2 full sized beds in the first picture? If they are full - perfect for visitors, like me! When do you want me?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteKitchen looks so cute! Where are all the books and games that Mike brought?!?! Still packed in the heavy bag?
I start at General Mills on Monday and was just offered the position at Well Dairy in Iowa. Don't know what to do yet, really have to weigh out the options!
Can't wait to see more pictures, maybe something with you guys in it!?!
Love you!
