Last night we were headed to the park and meet our neighbors and this morning as I was headed out to walk she was taking her dog for a walk so we walked together. Their family has been here for almost 3 years now and this is their last year and they will go back to the states. They have been in London and Moscow and now Luanda. She told me how they get all of their meat here and some items at the grocery store that I have missed. She said you can buy the dough raw and make pizza crust out of it that way. She also told me about some good vacation spots in Africa to take the boys. She told me about how to get our dog here and what I need to get and about the vet here. Tomorrow she is going to a bible study and invited me to go with her. She is taking the other person to the grocery store after the bible study to show her around. I really wish I could go with them but since Jared is still only going half days this week I am going to have my driver follow us there and then he can take me to get Jared. She also told me that in the compound they have water aerobic classes and weight training classes and tennis lessons for the kids. They are also about to start up soccer practice and mini games in the compound for the kids. She told me that they have different school clubs at the school that you can sign up for and you stay after school to participate in them and then the bus brings the kids home after their clubs. She is also the PTA president this year so I told her I would help whenever she needed it to try and get involved in it. She said Friday some of the women were going to the school to help move books from the old library to the new one so I volunteered for that.
I am so glad I got to meet her and start doing some things. I was starting to get a little bored sitting here all day everyday.
