We're here!

We got in last night around 10pm, waited around for our driver to the hotel and finally got settled in around 11:30. We were so tired from the long day of travel.  We left at 9am.  It felt so good to get into bed last night.  Neither of us were feeling great due to the flying and pure fatigue.  This morning we are feeling much better, still tired, but overall, much better. We had a light breakfast of coffee, juice and some croissants, they were so good! 

The hotel we stayed in last night is a budget hotel near the airport but it is very nice for a budget place.  We even have a kitchen with a stove and oven!  The building is very old and was retrofitted to be a hotel so it is set up very strange.  It is in a decent neighborhood although all of the buildings are gated.  We have a nice view of a park and we have seen so many dogs strolling through!  There are a lot of people out and about, walking around.  We have seen many people cleaning the streets.  There was a street sweeper on foot, a garbage truck, a horse drawn cart for recyclables and a man with a cart on foot.  I love just watching everything going on around me.

Here are some pictures of our hotel and view:










In about an hour we will meet with our facilitator and then get back on a plane to get to Claudia's region. We will update as we are able!  Tomorrow we meet Claudia!
