The adventure begins

I didn't think it would start so soon.

Yesterday, we left our home and community of over 10 years and are now on our way eventually ending up in DC and begining our new Foreign Service life.

This morning we're on our way to Disneyland for a proper transition.

The shuttle that took us from our hotel to the airport really highlighted the new life for me. It was packed with all sorts of people from all over the world.

The Brazilian soccer fans quickly established a common language by naming cocktail favorites "...mojito...caipirinha ...".

The guy from Philly pontificated loudly and often (4 times on a 15 minute drive) that "they shoulda taken reservations so we don't hafta be treated like animals".

And all this at 6:30 AM!

We've left our Berkeley bubble and are now out in the big world. Bring it on!
