New Surroundings

I figure it is about time that I tell a little bit more about the surroundings that I see each day. To begin, all of the short-term team is living in the same house and we are still waiting for three more team members (2 will arrive on Tuesday night, and 1 more the following Tuesday). Once this happens there will be 4 of us women staying in one room (it will be like college dorm days all over again :) ) and we all share a living room and bathroom with another couple and one guy. It is kind of like a little apartment, but we eat all our meals together downstairs.

Our house - the red house

Each morning I have been waking up early (no Daylight savings, so the sun comes up around 4 am) and have been heading outside to the balcony off our upstairs living room for some quite time. After that we head to Azadi park for running/walking. We come back, have some breakfast, get ready and head out for errand running. This is typically done in the morning, then the big meal is had around 1 pm. After this meal, it is nap time! So far most of us have been taking 3 hour naps (which feel amazing!). Then it's up again for a snack/light dinner and evening activities. (I think I could get used to the nap thing each day. Do you think I will be able to continue that during the school year? Haha!)

Beginning tomorrow, much more time will be spent at The LIFE Center. We went the other day to clean and will be heading back again shortly to clean a little more and set up for registration. Registration begins tomorrow evening and runs for 4 evenings. Then classes and Kids Club being the following week. Much more of a routine! Woohoo!
