We've finally arrived!!!

After months of preparation, packing, stress, anxiety, joy, exhaustion and a variety of other emotions and conditions, we finally arrived in Granada on Tuesday night.  Our house is absolutely lovely and large--Isabel has been exploring every inch--and we are very comfortable.  Given the colonial, open-air/garden style of the house we have a variety of roommates we've discovered so far including, miscellaneous insects, a bat or two, a cat, and lizards.  We will anxiously await the appearance of any others that may decide to leave their dormotorios.  We've had to have conversations with Isabel about the value of life and restrain her since she wants to "kill them all" with her fly swatter so that they don't "bother her mommy and papi."  So far we've just been unpacking, going to the grocery (the local fruit/veggie market is on tap for tomorrow morning), eating, and trying to find Isabel a pool to join.  Its still early so we are still reminding ourselves to slow down and relax.  Knowing me, you know it may take a while, but I'm enjoying every second of learning how to unwind and relax.  The strangest/most difficult thing is realizing that we are truly on a year-long vacation and more or less can do as we please...
