Ahh where do I begin. We have had a power blasted couple of days but are settling in quite well. Nigeria is hot but not too bad this time of year. Rene and Miles left yesterday to Paris. It was wonderful to have them here to help us put our minds at ease. Let me just list all that we have had to do in the past three days.
Find a nanny...Florence
Restock a kitchen
Clean a gross apartment
Acclimate to shopping with a driver
Meet new employees...(most cool)
Suffer through jet lag (so weird)
Travel through the city (traffic is its own personality)
Hire a steward
Go to the market
Get a new classroom
Change money...you don't use banks
Learn how to use the money
Figure out how to shop (still not done)
Explain to Harper that we aren't moving to Africa we are in Africa
Realize that I am a spectacle and that some people notice I'm white
Join commisary
Go to Lekki market...its like national geographic come to life
And more...
Yikes! Needless to say we were a bit shell shocked
