Keep with us

To all our faithful readers . . . all 2 of you . . . please bear with us as we aren't posting much these days. Last week we arrived in language school and have been fairly involved in our studies. This on top of having an internet connection like the ones back in the early 90's!

We are enjoying our time here though. We have 5 classes a day with a variety of teachers. Its been encouraging to see some progress in our speaking, but especially for comprehension. They have also encouraged us to get out and speak in the community as much as we can. Many local shopkeepers seem to be familiar with all the language students and know how to correct us when we speak wrong.

We live in an apartment that has a great view of the mountains. In the evenings we occasionally like to sit and watch the sunset. Unfortunately the place is also infested with flying squirrels. They are interesting to watch fly away in the evenings, but then they wake us up every mornings as they come back in to sleep. If you remember from our previous entry we were dealing with a mouse and all his droppings back in Karachi. Now we have flying squirrels pellets all over the places. On top of this Joe seems to have an allergy to flying squirrels that we never know about.

All for now!

I remember those squirrels, though we never actually got a chance to see them.
