arrival

by Nathan
We seem to have lost a day. It is now Thursday morning (Wednesday night for all of you) - and that means we were traveling for about 28 hours. Thanks to sleep planning, none of us are experiencing jet lag at all!

Unfortunately, trials have arisen. The power cable to the laptop was shocked to death after we short-circuited the entire apartment suite(and the laptop ended up dying - it was apparently left on during one of the flights) - so we are currently in an internet "cafe" inside one of the community center, and I have 43 minutes left to write this post. Talk about pressure. It's not free either - $1.50 per hour. So we're going to have to make every minute count.

[34 minutes]

(finding this picture cost us about two minutes)

When we exited the airport, the humidity fell upon us as one falls upon delectable strawberry cheesecake. It also was as thick as delectable strawberry cheesecake. In such manner that one can barely breathe (as in it takes one's breath away. Literally.). You could even cut it with a knife and it would close back up immediately. (This also from experience.)

[23 minutes]

We have photos, but unfortunately the majority of these are on the now-dead laptop and cannot be accessed at this time. Stay tuned, though - we will find ways to overcome such adversity!

[19 minutes]

Okay, getting off - catch you all later, hopefully somewhere with less pressure! (coming up with this sentence cost us about three minutes)

Nathan-since no one commented on your post, I must. We already miss you terribly and are finding out what living in the US without the Lees is like...let's just say, it aint pretty. Hug your mom for me!
