The kids came to visit us this weekend and it was great to have their noise in the house. Wasn't the nicest weather - in fact it was even quite chilly out on the beach.

So to update you on the land - we are hoping to close the deal this week -  just waiting for the call to say the papers are ready to sign. Meanwhile we are settling in well, there is a rather large gringo community in this congo - but at least we are no longer the newest Spanish speakers on the block!
