Here are a few pictures from our new home. The apartment is exactly as beautiful as it looked. We are afraid to tell the students too much detail, because apparently their hotel is not exactly four star. The big issue was NO SHOWER CURTAINS??? That freaked them out. The group shots are of the lunch we had on Sunday. Our student, Jackie, is the blond girl in the green shirt. She has dropped Social Change already. The readings were too difficult for her (they are a little dry) and she was really worried that she would not do well. She has a high GPA and does not want to mess that up.
The kids are so great. They are getting used to each other and the area and Annette and I are more than willing to mother-hen them a little if they are homesick.
Since Jackie dropped Social Change and picked up the art class, Annette and I have a 1 - 3 and a 4 -6. There are field trips planned on Fridays beginning next week, so we want to schedule some kind of an excursion this weekend for sure.
Thanks again for this fantastic opportunity. I am afraid the folks here will be dragging us kicking and screaming to the airport when it is time to go back to Rochester.
Take care of each other!
- Cathy and Annette

Wow - that water is a little hard on the eyes. I think we girls need to come over and relieve you! :)
Love the pictures! I laughed to myself when you said that they didn't have shower curtains. When I was in Hungary the dorm didn't have shower curtains either - lucky for us the students that came the semester before us had visiting family members bring some dollar store ones so we were all set for future students to come :) Thank goodness for that :) It's the simple things in life :)
I agree with ann m. I also think you girls need some assistance navigating all those steps. Pictures were wonderful. Thanks for sharing. Keep on enjoying.
What an awesome experience! I'm still laughing about the stairs. :) How wonderful for the two of you to open these doors to the future! It sounds like a dream over there. Are you even going to come back?!! Keep blogging and forging ahead. Cathy B, take it easy on Kristo, sounds like he is smitten already. ;) Keep soaking in that sea and sun for us. You'll be glowing with it AND be buff when you return.
