First Day!

This is Bethany.

Okay, so jetlag? Feelin' it. I can personally account for it's existance and whereabouts. In Serbia, time is 7 hours later than american time. So it's the evening here. The flights were... tiring. Boring. Made me deaf for a while, because my ears didn't pop like they were supposed to. I felt like I had pillows up against my ears. The food is delicious. Like, very, very good. The bread is fresh and delicious. And I've been eating A LOT. I know you guys are jealous!

Tomorrow is the first english class. And you know, I have no idea how many people will show up.

This is Marabeth!  We have been so busy, we haven't had much time to blog!  So Bethany has not had time to finish!  So you are stuck with me!

We finally arrived at our host home at 9:30 last night!  Our hosts are Boza and Silvija!  They are hillarious and treat us like sisters!  We love it!  This morning we slept in a little, then Silvija made us an awesome breakfast!  The food here is YUMMY!  Silvija is very much like me and we laugh a lot!  Today we toured downtown Novi Sad.  It is beautiful and it's people are friendly!  We went to see an old fort and were able to get a beautiful view of the Danube!  We ate lunch together with the team and the Serbian hosts and leadership!  It is fun learning Serbian and teaching them English!  The language barrier has not been a problem!  Our hearts are connecting with the people here!
I can't wait to meet the children who will be in my English classes tomorrow!  B will help me!  We will be learning colors and shapes and numbers and the alphabet!  We are the best class because we get to play games!  Hooray!  I LOVE teaching!

We have met so many amzing people here and learned so much about the culture already!  The time is passing much too quickly!  Since we do not eat dinner here till 9:30 it is now midnight and I need to sleep!  So goodnight friends!

We will have more to report tomorrow and perhaps some pictures since we forgot to bring the camera today!
