Days are flying....

Sorry y'all. But, our days are flying by with just trying to keep up with language, culture and then the normal school business for our kids. And they don't even have afterschool activities!

So, again, sorry for not posting until today.

We're all now in full force with our tutor schedules. We are engaging as best we can clearly with much help from our Father and Lord as we begin to develop friendships and relationships with our neighbors, landlord, and other folks we see daily or weekly, like at the close by grocery store called "Wong".

Our apartment (departamento) is actually a part of the same building as Wong's. So, it's great to go shopping when we need to and to practice our Espanol too!

Not to mention all of the taxis and combis (Peruvian buses) that we take everywhere since we have no car. I like it, to be honest. I like not having a car. It can be, at times, an inconvience, but overall, it's really not that difficult a change.

I'll have to get pics to you all of the taxis and combis and Wongs...daily life, so that you can see what life is like here. Oh, and the kids' school (colegio), too!

All for now!
Jim

Jim,
Good to hear from you. It has been awhile. Glad to hear things are going well. And that your spanish is coming along. Hope school is going well for the kids.
Talk to you soon,
Carl

Ahhh...the bus...and taxis...it has definitely lost its appeal, but the necessity is there. Glad language learning is going well, and practice, practice, practice. What is the status on finding a new place?
