After another long delay we are back with new tales. Although the “honeymoon” phase of travel may be coming to an end, we are now enjoying the comforts of establishing a routine in a land that seemed as far from home as possible only a few months ago. When we are not working hard for the money taming the youngsters, we now spend our days playing Frisbee on Sundays with a local league, becoming regulars at our favorite local restaurants and making a circle of friends from here all the way to the southern hemisphere.
