Hello!

I arrived safetly in DAR and am getting settled in my dorm room. It is actually nicer than expected with flush toliets and all, but the water is pretty bleak. I'll be boiling water every night. Today we went to a church service near campus which was interesting and long. Everything here is laid back so there is no real time constraints. After about 2 hours of awesome acapella music and preaching, everyone walked outside and stood in a circle singing the closing hymn. then the pastor gave the final blessing and everyone shook hands and headed out. I thought that was cool!



Well, I got numerous comments about my failure to put the actual picture links, so I hope it works this time! Check them out. (remember, you don't have to type the whole thing, just highlight it all, right click and select copy, then click on the address bar, right click and hit paste).
