First Night in Gaming...

Ok,

Let me just say that the internet in Gaming (yes Tessa, I know I say it funny) is not good. For some reason I can't access the following sights:

1) Chase.com (my American bank)

2) blogger.com

So if any of you know what I can do to fix this problem... I will reward you with my gratefulness. 

So today I slept in after a late night. I realized how much I love sleep. If I could spend a day napping, that would be fun. Cay and I ended up leaving a little late (sorry Cay, I know your mom reads this blog!), but we made it! Praise you Lord. Honestly, I wasn't worried too much. There is always another train to take.

The train ride was fun. Katie, my co-worker, and I prayed a rosary to start out the ride. We talked for a little bit, and then I fell asleep. Trains are so nice to sleep in, but make sure that you are with good company. 

We got into Gaming at about 4:30pm and we were picked up by Professor Cassidy, who just arrived from Scotland. I got back to my room, and quickly changed into my running gear. I did a short 35 minute run before dinner.

The run was scenic and sunny. The mountains and streams that surrounded me were beautiful. Sometimes I can't believe I live here in all this natural beauty. Lord, you spoil me.

I got finished with the run and then got ready for dinner with the Kalpakgians. I arrived at their house at 6:30pm and was greeted by their cute son Ari. Wow, what a pistol! He is so full of energy and curiosity, much like any 3 year old would be. Soon after I was greeted by Dominic, the younger. He is adorable! He's one years old and just beginning to walk. Mark and Nikki are so great. What a charming couple. They are die-hard outdoors people. I love it, and I believe we will get along famously. Mark was already talking about the staff hiking trip before the students get back. 

After dinner I went for a short walk around the Kartause. The night was cool and quiet. It is real quiet out here at night. Things really shut down after 8 pm. There were barely any cars even. The stars were beautiful tonight...
