Settling in

Hello All!!

sorry for the long delay - and no photos yet.  I dont have internet at home (hope to get it installed this week). then i can download photos and put them on the blog. We cannot download outside data on government computers, so although I have internet I am a bit restricted in its use.

Otto and I made it safely to Ouagadougou (via London). We are getting settled.  We have a lovely house. Great swimming pool - which Otto lives in. Work is BUSY.  Otto really likes his school. It is hot here, but pleasant.

We are a bit isolated where we live - close to the Embassy, but about 20 minutes from the center of town. Things will improve once we get our car - but that will be a few months.  Otto's dad is coming for a visit next week, and we will try to rent a car and get out of town.

Everyone has been great and very welcoming to us.  We have had lots of invites for dinner and events.  We had a very nice Thanksgiving with a family who lives just down the street from us.  We have neighbors across the street with 2 boys (5 and 6 yo, Otto said it is just like at home with our neighbors Rhys and Kai).

Pictures soon and Otto will update his blog as soon as we have home internet. And then we can start skyping as well.
