first days...

Day 1: 29...this is the number of luggage we end up carrying to our new "home", no one more he said...i agree, but still miss some items, no many though, which makes life incredible bearable, for some odd reason, because after all they are just things....the day before we slept 3 hours or so, we arrive to the airport in a U-HAUL, should toke a picture, the people at Delta airlines were incredible helpful and fast...they didn't complain or shown a weird face, always smiling even when i was dying of embarrassment waiting for something to happen, but everything when smoothly....we hug and say good bye, we are gonna miss you dear friends....

Day2: i wish i had chosen the middle seats, they  had 3 spaces to extend people's bodies...instead i had to share 2 seats with my oldest and a 12 hour flight, this time being short was on my side, but still hurt some...
we didn't find a U-HAUL when we arrived, but 4 taxi cab made the deal, one more bag couldn't make it, 29 was the number....
problem, we didn't had internet, didn't have the address, no phone either....we need a hotel, any hotel...
after 1 hour to the city, i check my ipod just in case, it shown the last 5 e-mails, one including the address to the apartment!! we are save!!! thanks God, taxi people are mad, they ask for more money, i dont care, just bring me to the address please!
we give our last money to the taxi guys, now we dont have currency to eat....we found a place that accept credit cards, it was delicious, mangoes, papayas, etc.....i am going to get fat here....

Day3: it has lot of garbage, people smoke, and many cars (emily's comment), maybe that it's why they dont have animals, butterflies or bees..."we need animals you know, they are good for us...uhmmm, this is not a good place to live, we need to teach them to pick the garbage...."
we walk a lot, trying to find what we need....i am tired...i hate it...

Day4:we found a church!....there is calm in my heart, still i dont understand the language, but they try, and smile...they are nice and helpful....we are not alone anymore, but will we fit? can i find an hispanic church?....live close to work, church or school?

Day5: finding walmart! we try the bus for the first time, and there is more walking....
it was not walmart, it had the name but it was not the same inside....i am done! i need plates!

Day6: getting to school, walk five blocks and wait 20 min, take the bus, another 15 minutes, get down, cross the street, watch out for motorcycles, get another bus or walk...walk 6 blocks....cross the street, we are there..
people are nice, emily and sophie will assist 3 times per week for few hours before school starts on august.

Day7:daddy's first work day....first day with no more walking here and there, just at home, playing and watching movies....first day of cooking at home (in a microwave for now), no more fries or pizza.....
