And so it begins!!!

Hello Hello!!!
After two long days of traveling, We are finally here, safe and sound!! I wish I could tell you everything that has happened so far-- but even writing this has taken longer than it should. Did you know that French keyboards are aranged differently? And spell-check is really getting on my case about writing in English. 
When we arrived in Douala Tuesday (at about 8:30 pm) it was very clear that we weren't in Oregon anymore!! It was about 85 degrees and I'm pretty sure you could drink the air. The airport terminal didn't even have windows-- which was a good thing because glass would have blocked the refreshing breeze that came through every-so-often. The last two days haven't been too bad thanks to thunder storms that occured the night before- which really helped cool things down!
Tomorrow we leave for the village, where the real work begins!! We won't have internet access so no promises on when my next post will be but I just wanted to assure you that we made it!!
Gotta run!! Love
