Whew...

Well the good news is that I am currently sitting - ONLINE - at the hotel.

Everything that was looking kind of grey, well, let's be honest - black - has turned around. Little things like flats, running water, mobile phones, calling cards and internet....they always end up working in the end. And I even heard a rumor that the sun is going to be shining this weekend.

Nasty bruise on my leg - it trumps the famous bruise of DZ room 103 when I ran into the counter a record thirteen times in one night....completely sober...just sleep deprived and pre-occupied. The suitcases managed to do a number to my leg as I carried them up seven flights of stairs. I have since decided to ship everything back to the US....

Mom and I have gotten lost only twice and managed to end up exactly where we needed to be in the end, so I believe we have been quite successful.

Tomorrow we are exploring some more - I might even get to go see the school. The school, btw, is brilliant, beautiful and probably should be marked as the prettiest building in town.

England lost today in Soccer. No opinion has been developed...yet. I suppose if Brady Quinn like soccer.....

Hi! I'm coming over on Tuesday, so I'm thrilled! Please post on how you found a flat, and perhaps (if you're willing) how much it costs and what you went through? You'll be helping out a fellow American teacher! Cheers!
