My first full day in the bush. I remember that I woke up early in the morning, like as sunrise (here, that is before 6 am). Jet lag, I guess. I just laid there for a while taking in the new sounds and enjoying the sunrise. It felt like being in one of those nature white noise soundtracks, only it was the real thing! I journaled some, and then fell back asleep (jet lag again). Everything was so different from my life in the states, and it was exhausting trying to learn an entirely new way of life at first. But Nathan and Laurel were so patient and helped me adjust little by little, giving me much grace through the process and my many questions.
And I remember the rain (possibly hail) woke me up at like 3am! It was SO LOUD! That is the only time it has rained since I have been here. Being from FL, that is so strange to me.... but we're not in Florida anymore!
