We made it!

Hi Everyone! Our first couple of weeks have been exciting! The landscape is just incredible. Rolling green hills, beaches a couple of minutes away, and a huge mountain in the backyard. It rained the first couple of days, but as soon as the sun came out and the clouds cleared.... this incredible mountain appeared. Many rainbows! They say you can experience 3 seasons in one day. The weather is very unpredictable, but mild.

Lets talk about food - they have everything we have, but don't let them fool you. Everything is a little bit different. The first time Rick ordered a hamburger, beets came on it. He said "what the hell is this!" I just laughed until I got my cheese steak sandwich covered in horseradish. I tasted horseradish for a week. We are catching on though.... I ordered french toast with bacon and thank god I asked for the syrup on the side, because they had stacked it all on top of each other and even my bacon would have been drowned in syrup. The last burger Rick ordered had an egg on top of it. We just laughed, but he said that it was surprisingly good.

Now... lets talk about the driving. The steering wheel is on the passenger's side and we need to drive on the opposite side of the road. They have a lot of round abouts instead of 4 way intersections with stop lights, which is a good system, but you definitely need to know when it is your turn to go. The rule is yield to everyone on your right! I just yield to everyone. Safe bet for now. Its not too bad, but if you are not completely concentrating, you find yourself drifting into the other lane, which could lead to big trouble. I just keep thinking stay to the left, stay to the left and hold my breath.

Thanks for checking things out and I hope to gets some more photos up soon! Let me know what you think.
