Hello everyone! So i know i said this was going to be predominantly a picture blog, but it will be a few weeks before i have the technology to upload pictures. In the meantime you will get my words and you will like it.  So we're just wrapping up our first full day in country and it has been a whirlwind of things.  We left Philly at 9 am and 26 hours and a million plane movies later and we arrived in country. It was a cool 95 upon arrival which was a nice way to ease into the sweltering heat and high humidity that is soon to come. Our first day has been mostly technical. Up by 545, solid meditation session, breakfast at 630, and then meetings starting at 730. I guess jet lag isn't a thing over here. The meetings consisted of medical, technical, language interview, bank account, bike fitting, cell phone, etc. We also got our first chance to haggle in the market and I managed to swoop a pretty good deal on a towel and a metre of fabric that I'm planning to have made into a shirt once I arrive at the training centre in Leo. I also did surprisingly well in my language interview which worries me because now i think that they think i am a lot better than i actually am. My internet time is wrapping up, but hopefully I will be able to update you again next week at training.
