We're here!!!

We finally made it to Dakar Senegal!  After a bumpy and long flight we got here and we're immediately blasted by hot hot air.  And this is their spring season!  (FYI: I'm trying to talk Mike into getting an air conditioner for one room, we'll see how far that goes ;-) Ha!

Besides the heat our sleepiness took over for the first two days, but today was the third day and we had a great time at church and then got a tour of Dakar, their really nice shopping mall with a food court, and a really nice grocery store.  They weren't kidding about everything costing a lot here, I wanted to get some paper plates like you can find at the dollar store and they cost $10.00, a can of beans is $4.00.   But we were able to get the items we needed and then came home and finally unpacked and the girls made a new friend and Mike and Carter  planned lacrosse and softball with others.  Today was a great day!  We are finally starting to get over our jet lag and starting to make it a home here.  I am so sorry I forgot to bring my camera today while we were out and about.  I will include the pictures I took tonight outside our front door and will take some of campus in the morning.  But I just wanted to pop in and say we are here and doing good.  The first two days were a culture shock, but today actually felt like this is home.  Life is good!
