We have a Place to Lay our Weary Bones

Hola mis amigos
We are very happy because today we were able to get a place to rent. Doug -who we met last night had phoned around and before we knew it we were looking at this cool 3 bedroom house with 3 bathrooms - yes you all can come and stay - but it doesn{t have any wardrobes! No importa. It is really close to the KH and right next to a sisters house. Also just round the courner from our new gringo friends. They have been wonderful and we may go and stay with them for a few days while we get the house ready. It was on the market for $220 per month but they are happy to have gringos in it so we will pay $200 per month. Unbelievable. It will be fun furniture shopping cause everything is sooooo cheap! Doug and Lisa kitted out their place for $700 and it is nice furniture.
We also had our first bus ride today and yes we managed to get off at the wrong stop - but didnt panic this time (it was broad daylight mind you) and walked for ages but we got back safely. Actually we have decided that there are more menancing looking youths in NZ than in Cuenca.
We of course are still concious but really you have to be the same in NZ these days.
Adios

congratulations that is wonderful. Can't wait to see pics-and especially when you ge the furniture in it. Hopefully the photos inspire a certain person to start saving for a trip. How long have you taken it for? We look forward to hearing about the first real day of field service - you will probably start a study.Will you have the internet at home?
