Life-changing

Something else I never thought I would say...this paved road has changed my life.

We moved into our new apartment (finally!!!) and it's really great. I will post pictures of it soon. Anyways, of course we live off of a dirt road b/c probably 90% of the roads here are dirt. We came to do a final check on the place on a Sunday and all the roads were dirt but when we moved in on Wednesday, the road that runs close to the apartment was no longer dirt. We don't really know when, but at some point between Sunday and Wednesday, they decided to pave that road. I'm not complaining...before the paved road, we had to make about a 5 minute walk to get to the closest paved road where we could catch public transportation. Now, I just step out of the gate and have no problem catching a rickshaw. And, it's really easy to give people directions b/c all you have to say is turn right on the paved road.

All this to say, I knew that life would be different over here, but I never actually expected that a paved road would change my life!
