Yes mom and dad, you heard it: safe and sound :) So adventure has officially begun, and I can't believe how fast it came! Yesterday there was a tearful goodbye at the Detroit airport, and now I'm on the other side of the world! The flights went very smoothly, it was so nice traveling with two friends. We even met a girl at the Detroit airport that was in the exact same program as us, so it was kind of cool getting to know her a bit.
I am now in a foreign country where I don't speak the language well, I don't really know the customs, and well, I'm a tall dutch girl. So let's just say I stick out a little bit haha. I'm totally out of my comfort zone, but I love it!!! A few of us girls took a walk around a couple blocks in town, and it's kind of what I expected, but different too. The city is alive with hustling and bustling, and the streets are pretty narrow with crazy scooter drivers that practically go onto the sidewalk. I loved looking in all the shops and am especially looking forward to stopping in one of the little panaderias (bakery) with all the pastries and dulce de leche I can devour! This is my forewarning to you all... I might come back home 30 lbs heavier than you remember me, but hopefully not ;)
I'm really tired now since I wasn't able to sleep well on the plane last night, so I'm off to a real bed now. I'll add some pics soon hopefully!

Kerri, sounds like an exciting adventure that you have just started. Enjoy the food and don't worry about the 'poundage' cuz you will most likely walk it off and then some. As for your comfort zone -- that is where God does His best work -- let Him use you as He deems necessary. Looking forward to reading your posts and looking at your pictures. Have Fun!
