first full day in Oaxaca

Hey folks,
We're settling in a bit now after having a somewhat difficult day. We decided after classes that we should look into other language schools. The school we were signed up for was unable to acomodate well Rachel at her level. We ended up finding a school which we think will become a good place for us. We start tomorrow. We felt pretty bad about talking to the first school, telling them we were moving. But they were very gracious, as was Rachel in talking with them. So our prayers worked and we feel much better about things now and are excited about tomorrow.

Wow, Oaxaca is really really beautiful. We had no idea. It's a lot more open feeling than Guanajuato, which we appreciate. Pretty palm trees in front of beautiful stone churches hundreds of years old. Bright sunny days, with jungle-like mountains not far off in the distance. Good coffee, picked right here in Oaxaca. Our host father works in the coffee industry. We want to ask him if we could go on a field trip. We both love coffee so much, and that would be such a thrill. Will post pics tomorrow we hope!
