are we there yet?

Hey we made it, below is a picture of the girl's school... kind of an odd first photo from Bolivia... we are still getting familliar w/ this computer and programs etc.. more soon ,every thing going smoothly... here is cate...We are transitioning pretty smoothly. No sickness so far, our spanish is more sufficient than I thought it would be, so communicating with realtors and venders is doable. Won't understand much of the lease paperwork I am sure. We'll just sign at the bottom and call it good. Kids have made it through thier second day at school and are exhausted, but positive about it so far. They are blown away at the bi and tri-lingual kids, how they can go back and forth sentence to sentence. Cochabamba is very nice. Climate to die for, beautiful vistas of the mountains and lights of the city. We are looking for a house or apartment and having fun peeking behind the gates of the Cochabambinos (this is really what they call native Cochabambans). As in much of urban latin America there are walls around every yard and wrought iron gates and and window bars so walking on the streets you really don't get to see into the small gardens and houses of the occupants.
We are trying to decide between an apartment up a elevator in downtown or a ground level house type thing. More later. Love to all, Catie
