Slowly, very slowly . . . .

We've had a good experience the first week. We've managed to get around town via taxi and subway without incident. We've made a few trips to the grocery store, and have even secured 2 cell phones and gotten them working. There have been a few glitches along the way (good for a few posts) and EVERYTHING takes us much longer to accomplish than if we were in the US, but we're still learning.  I've had the easiest time of it, as I have had the most control over my time. Poor Veggie Dumpling with the Largest Cup of Coffee You Have and Ice Cream (aka The Works) is exhausted, and there were tears this morning before his 4th day of school. He really likes his new school, but the long days and short nights are catching up with him. Next week we move into our townhouse and the pets will arrive. Both will help!
