Moisture.

I'm exhausted this evening- as it's been a long day of travel and new experiences. One thing that always strikes me no matter where I go in the world, and this is probably the teacher in me, is how naughty children tend to follow me. Why is this? Can they sense that I just might scold them and they'll find the discipline they've been seeking their whole lives? Who knows. Anyway...there are many things that are conveyed no matter what language one speaks:
Smiles.
Screaming Children.
Panic.
There are many others, but these are just a few I experienced today. :)
It's very humid and cool this evening in our cute little cottage. It reminds me of a cool night on the lake in Wisconsin in August when the crickets are singing me to sleep.
I'm glad we're finally here! Tomorrow we're going to watch soccer...I shall be on my best behavior for the locals :)
