Without Words.

I am truly at a loss for words for much of what I experience, and even if I tried, I don't think anyone would understand...so I'll stop trying.

We've had a great time meeting many new people here from all over the world. In just a short week I have met someone from all six of the inhabited continents - from Brazil to Ireland to Korea to South Africa to Australia (and even one from Burnsville).

Today was our day off, but instead of sightseeing we just took a personal day and sat in the room - relaxing and reading and playing cards. It's exhausting work. Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. And this is after one week. I truly don't know how I will make it another two.

It was good to recharge today though...hopefully I will have so happier news in the coming days. At least the people are awesome - I am surely making friendships that I can take home with me to the US and also the world in general.
