First Day

After three hectic days of packing and cleaning, we're tired but happy to start a new phase of our lives. The moving truck came today and took all our stuff away. We packed camping gear in our new carrier on top of our car and set off to see the country. However, it being almost 9:00 pm, we only got half a mile away, and decided to spend the night at our friend Elisa's apartment. Stephanie who had been in high gear all day promptly crashed along with Ixchel who'd been impatiently waiting to see Catherine, our friends Bruce and Nancy's little daughter in Sacramento.

Finalmente terminamos de empacar (o de hacer cajas como dicen nuestros amigos españoles Isabel y Javier). Cansados pero contentos, nos embarcamos una vez más en otra etapa de nuestra vida. Luego de cargar el carro salimos hacia nuestra primera parada la cual resultó estar a menos de un kilómetro, pues cansados y siendo tarde decidimos pasar la noche en la casa que nuestra amiga Elisa tan gentilmente nos ofreció.
