Adjusting

So we are still in the hotel, & it looks like we will stay in the hotel for the next 11 days. We leave Sept. 21st to fly back to Sri Lanka so that we will be able to make our flight on the 22nd to Austria. (a trip we already had planned before we were told that we had to leave Sri Lanka) While we are in Austria IJM will make a decision if we can go back to Sri Lanka or if we will have to stay in India. If we have to come back, we will stay in an apartment.

We are still adjusting, but doing better. The one great thing here is that there are a lot of people working for IJM here, so we already feel apart of a community. Rachel has already met a lot of new friends here. and they've been great with inviting us to lots of activities. In fact Jesse & I were able to go on our first real night on the town since May on Friday without Rachel. Our friends have a housekeeper who watches their two girls every Friday night, so let us leave Rachel with her as well, so we could all go out. It was great.

Yesterday we got invited to the beach. It's about 1hour drive. But it was worth it. It felt so nice to get out of Chennai for a day. Rachel loved playing in the pool, & is getting so good at swimming.


Sorry I don't have more pictures for you all. I will try to get some up soon.

Oh yeah, other good news is that our vonage phone works here too, so we can be reached at our 703 number.
