So after leaving the airport we rode to John and Hannah’s house. There we had breakfast and met a bunch of people. Hannah has been preparing all of our meals so far. Most of which haven’t been that different from American. Or maybe I shouldn’t say different from America but different from things that I have tried before. Like we have had French bread for breakfast almost every morning, only here they eat bread which chocolate sauce on. And we have had a lot of rice with vegetables and fruit. After breakfast we drove a little ways and arrived at where we will be staying for most of our time here. It is a missionary compound, with little houses on it. It has a wall surrounding it and has guards that watch, so it is very safe! Which we are grateful for! I would be afraid to stay in many of the areas that we passed through. There is a lot of unfinished architecture here; especially big houses. They are the only big houses around though. They have the mentality that once is livable or usable that there is no need to continue doing anything like painting etc. Driving on the roads is interesting but that can be expected with most foreign countries. Just honk the horn and it’s ok to pass on both sides. There are people always walking everywhere on and around the road. After settling in here at teh missionary compound, Nat and I went in search of some internet service here, and after talking with the guards Olive and Ramon several times we finally figured out that you can only sign up for the internet in the office on weekdays. The rest of the day we rested and caught up on much needed sleep.
