Team #1 left today and should currently be flying somewhere over the ocean! It was sad to see them leave as they're all such lovely people whom I have really enjoyed being with for the last 2 weeks! And there are many people here who will not forget the "gringos" (not in any way derogatory here!) they've spent various points in the last 14 days meeting and playing with! Hope the flight was nice guys and that you can all sleep off the time difference in one fell swoop (who knew it was "fell" and not "fowl", or even "foul"?! :-O)! But that goodbye did also mean that it was time to say hello to the apartment! I've spent my time in the country so far in a beautiful, all-inclusive hotel resort beside the sea with the team, but from now on, I've got an apartment in Sosua! IT'S LIKE I'M A PROPER ADULT!!! :-O :-D I've got one fairly good-sized room with a double-bed at one end, a little table with 2 chairs next to it, and then a breakfast bar, sink, microwave and 4 hobs (2 up from uni!!!) at the other end, with a sofa going down one wall. Then coming off from that there's a little bathroom with a shower, a toilet, a sink and a mirrored cabinet, and a kind of little wardrobe-cupboard-room with a rail and some wooden shelves! I LOVE IT! It's like my own little home! Hahaha! :-D Though now getting used to the non-all-inclusive aspect; my dinner tonight was a macaroni cheese 'just add water' pot with some French Onion crips (don't worry Dad, what little onion extract is present in the crisps wasn't actually sourced in France! ;-P) and my trusty water, of which I have a whole cold dispenser of actual drinking water all to myself! In fairness, it was only a brief trip to the supermarket on the way back from the airport and I haven't yet checked with Claire what out of the fresh produce it's safe to eat! For example, cows' milk here is a no-go because it's not pasteurised... (the saddest feature of my life for the next few months!!! I really love cows' milk! Especially with a little dash of Strawberry Crusha!!! :-D) However, I did ask Claire about the yogurt, and that's good, so I got a big bottle of strawberry! :-D It's not quite as sweet as ours, but it's good and I enjoyed it very much for my pudding today! Also, check out the name below, read that and then say 'yogurt' as if you're American - see what they did there?! ;-D Hahaha!
