The eagle has landed!

So, I am writing this post while sitting in my borther-in-law Wilfredo´s kitchen (or brother-in-love as Berto´s Dad says). We arrived yesterday afternoon after a five hour flight that went really well. Levi ate and slept and played well in the plane and only fussed a little when he was sleepy. We were met at the airport with two truckloads of excited family! It was great to finally meet them and have them meet Levi! Of course he is a big hit with everyone, though he seems a little overwhelmed with all the new faces cooing and hands reaching for him.

Then we drove to Santa Tecla where Wilfredo and family live and decided to stay for the night since we were pretty tuckered out. The hot 35 degree weather sure takes it out of you! Thankfully, the evenings are nice and cool and it is really nice to see blue skies, green leafy trees and colourful flowers. We visited with some more family last night and this morning and now this evening we head out to Sonsonate, where we will stay for most of the four months, with my other borther-in-law Alvaro and his family.

We´ve also already enjoyed some delicious traditional meals (more on this later) and fruit...yay for fresh mango and jocote! As they say here, que rico!
