We made it!

EDITED: THE VIDEOS SHOULD WORK NOW

We made it here without really any problems! Hooray because lots of people ended up getting stuck in Puerto Rico for a night or two for various reasons. The only problem was that I left my digital camera at home- I was slightly devastated but we do have the video camera, and I should be using it more often anyway! We are trying to find a little memory card to fit our video camera so we can take pictures, then things will be great. But here are some little video clips of the beautiful place we live now. We are adjusting to humidity and sweating all the time, as well as all the walking, but other than that things are great. Shane has been a very good boy, just a little thrown off with sleeping and such. I'm so happy to have my jogging stroller back and so is he, but he loves it a little too much and always ends up catnapping in it despite my efforts otherwise. Anyway, we will keep you updated, but for now here are some videos to watch. They are all very short clips I just took of places along our walk to campus, but telling too.

This is walking out of our door and you will see how close we are to the water. One of my favorite parts!



The drivers here are CRAZY and use their horns whenever they pass you. These drivers in the video were very tame though.


The Caribbean (or the ocean, I'm not sure?)




There are lots of Roosters everywhere, and they don't just crow when the sun comes up! But they don't seem to bother Shane too much.




Beautiful rivers everywhere




And the beach just next to campus. It is black sand but soft and I love the way it shimmers when it gets wet. The water is perfect for Shane. We've already met a lot of people and everyone has been really nice.
