We are settling in to our new apartment. Christian arrived on August 21 for 3 weeks and has been helping us do things. We are still looking for furniture for two bedrooms and a few kitchen items.
The weather is always around 30 degrees Celcius with humidity around 80%. The weather has been very hard to deal with because I'm not used to the humidity. The bed and living room furniture are always damp.
At night we are serenaded by whistling frogs, they start around 7 and "sing" until the sun comes up. I seem to have controlled the ants in the house with a local spray that lasts for 3 months. Our landlord says the bugs will be gone in the fall but will return in the spring. They don't like the cold weather.
I have gone to Shelly Bay beach, went to the Dockyards and took a ferry. Christian and I have a list of beaches to see during his visit. Tomorrow we are heading to John Smith's Bay. Every day it will be a new adventure.
I am a little homesick, really miss my family, friends and my dogs! It was so nice to Skype with them last night. Poor dogs didn't know what to think. I wish the dogs could come with the boys when they visit us. Hopefully we can come home for Christmas. The boys and Alycia are meeting us in Orlando November 9-13.
Hopefully our Internet will be up and running this week. Tony is taking the modem and rotor in tomorrow to be recalibrated - hopefully they will only take 2 days. Our wonderful neighbors are letting us use their wifi until we get everything done. The people here just laugh and say "It's Bermuda".
Miss you all,
Leanne
