Today is the one month anniversary of our arrival. In that month, we read 8 books between us. We mastered the complicated recycling system, got aquanted with the two flush options on the toilet, and discovered 1.5% milk. We’ve also seen castles, a couple of big cities, a zoo and a cathedral. Our new family likes us and we like them, and we know each other well enough to be irritated by one another sometimes. My two favorite things about our home: two comforters on the bed (That’s the way they do it here. Each person gets his or her own small comforter.) and the electric teapot. It makes boiling water in 0.7 seconds flat. And today, Tyler got a job offer! At the bowling alley’s snack bar. Since they’re offering him about 2 bucks an hour, night and weekend shifts and no vacation, I think he’s going to pass and hope something better comes along.

Your writing is terrific, Lissy! I think maybe you could combine your talents and be a traveling, w/kids and hubby munching on drawers, writer. Whatta think?
Keep posting!
Love, Jennifer
P.S. Glad Tyler passed on the bowling alley - something will come along.

$2/hour… wow, I think that’s worse than the “federal” minimum wage in places like Puerto Rico and Guam!
