We were out and about in the rain today. Emily is really enjoying using the few phrases she knows in the local language. Probably because of the exuberant responses of the locals. She now also knows when people say "can I have a hug?" in the local language. Sometimes she oblidges, sometimes she doesn't. We often hear camera phones clicking around us as the people walking behind us or beside us take a quick pic of Emily. Actually, Scott went to Wal-Mart alone today and 2 guys were using their phone to take just his picture too. So maybe we are all interesting exhibits. We had thought it was just Emily. I think they were probably impressed with Scott's ability to grow facial hair.
Sure it rains alot, but look how green it is! I'm not sure why that last sentence is underlined, but I can't get it to go away. Oh well. Tomorrow we meet with our language teachers for the first time! The official studies begin! We've had nice success in all our little errands and to do lists. The big thing now is to find an apartment. Then get it cleaned and semi-furnished! Not that it will be a new place, but most that we've seen have been sitting empty with all the windows open so they are quite dirty! I guess they leave the windows open so it doesn't mildew being all shut up?? I don't know. I expect they have a good reason.
Anyways, we are all healthy and happy. (Well, Emily has a cold, but it's not slowing her down too much.) She did fall off a bench backwards today and landed on her head on a hard floor. But we think she's okay from that too. Kids fall down all the time, right? She seemed fine afterwards, and helped Scott play his new guitar this evening when we got home. :)
