"That went by fast" says Zach 18 hours into our 19 hour travel day. It's always the last hour that gets you. They boys did phenomenally well, but the last hour was a bit whiny. I was super proud and impressed with them.
Today is our second full day here and the boys' first full day of school. After their two hour school day yesterday z asked "is that our school? It's hot." Zachy was exhausted but Theo wanted to visit the cemetery. We pass it on our way to school. It wasn't the best time of day to walk around an unshaded graveyard but we had fun. After wards we had a little snack and a cold drink outside the cemetery gates. Maybe Theo's going to follow in his great grandfather's footsteps. We then took a taxi to the grocery store. Theo was in one of those carts with a kids car attached to the front. About 10 minutes into our shopping he passed out. So dang cute! It made my shopping trip much easier but getting him in the cab not so much.
After calling three different phone numbers, texting one chica, numerous emails and a visit to an office ( not in that order) I finally secured transportation to school for the boys. Yay! It costs $60 a month which is cheaper and easier than taking them in a cab. Tomorrow will be their first day on the school bus. I'll let you know how it goes.
While the boys were in school Steve and I walked around and oriented ourselves to the city. On our walk I found the Spanish school I attended on my last trip here. They offer a kids club for the little ones free of charge while you study. How great is that?
Now that we are settled in, have our kitchen stocked, and kind of know our way around the city we'll do our first excursion sans boys tomorrow. They get picked up at 810 and get dropped off at 130. Stay tuned for some riveting news about our first week in Granada.
