We finally arrived to our new home! It's been such an amazing journey and the real fun and adventure is just beginning! We have been here 48 hours and feel like we've been here for awhile now- just completely immersed right away into the community! I love it here! There are so many layers and dynamics that it freaks me out a little! I am smiling as I am laying here typing because a chopper is flying overhead- radical!
The people are so fabulous here. We weren't here but an hour and had visitors to welcome us and make sure we were ok. Our "condo", as Hannah calls it, is HUGE! More space than I know what to do with! However none of our stuff has arrived yet and fear it will not be necessary once it does!
The kiddos are doing so well! They did incredible on all the flights and enjoyed their first helicopter ride! They have met a fraction of the kiddos here and already have made friends! We hope to get them in school this week as it's the last week before break and then almost all the Ibu's (wives) and children leave for holiday until August.
This is not an ordinary place- obviously! We all had to get fingerprinted and the guy took our passports for, yet again, more processing and that totally made me panicky! But it's the way it goes when you a) live in another country b) live in a compound in another country c) live in a jungle and d) live in another country in a compound in the jungle.
We will keep very busy here as the community is very close and highly social- I think I am going to have a hard time :) ha ha there are lots gatherings and events! You would think I dreamt this place up!
The view is to die for! Pictures don't do it justice! I didn't remember it being as beautiful as it is! There are more eyesores, however, than one would like but it's just part of the deal and it seems the company is working on it! I have to remember too that this is a work site not a resort!
Today we will be going to the Lupe (the restaurant) brunch and hope to have a play date at the park.
As always to be continued...
