Thanks to all who have sent emails in the last few days! great to hear from so many friends and family. We are all doing well. Ian has adjusted wonderfully to Natasha - he barely skips a beat when we depart for class in the morning. Yesterday they went to the aquarium. (Natasha is the 22-year old daughter of Sophia, who is coming to work at Gorongosa Park - Natasha will come too, and be Ian's nanny in Mozambique as well).
Rich and I continue with our classes -- the 5 hours a day fly by, and we have homework ("TPC" or "Trabalho para casa") every night. last night I had to write a paragraph about myself. tonight I have to write a paragraph about my family. Rich had to give a 20-minute oral presentation (without notes!) about the US to his teacher today!! I am so glad we are in different classes. Our apartment is working out really well for us. We can walk to class in 25 minutes, or take the subway in a little less time. very easy. and it is walking distance to many great sights in Lisbon. If you look in this photo, our house is just to the right of the large cement wall in the middle of the photo, between the trees in the middle and the trees on the right.
That's all for now. more soon!
