Settling In

I'm settling in slow but sure and am grateful for two of my favorite aspects of this place....

Hospitality:  About every day I have a dinner invite to catch up with folks.  It's been great to re-connect with people.  One friend in particular, who has been on a long journey, seeking political asylum in several countries, has now come back, and it's been great to catch up with him.

The "Evening-Mill-About":   not sure what to call this, but every evening when it cools down people come out into the courtyard and mill about.  People chat, the kids run around playing games.  I can take my pick.  I can stop and chat with the adults.  Sometimes I can join in on a game of tag, keep away, basketball, or soccer.  Good times.
