Upon Arrival

Quick Update

Well, after nearly a whole day's journey, we've made it safely to Tripoli. Upon arriving at the airport, we immediately realized that learning the language would have to become one of our top priorities. Everything is in Arabic, except for the advertisement, funny enough, there are plenty of commercial posters in English.

Apparently, I have a Arabic face . . . according to everyone here. Libyans I've spoken to are surprised to learn that I don't speak Arabic, "not yet" I tell them. But they're even more surprised to learn that I'm not Arabic at all, that I'm actually Mexican.

We took a tour of our new school, met our fellow newbies here, and will meet the rest of the staff later this week.

There's lots else to say about our new home, but we'll catch up on that later. Thanks for becoming a follower to our blog! We'll try to keep it interesting. Stay tuned, we might soon be writing about visiting Malta in the next couple of months.
