FINALLY HERE!!!

As I walked out of baggage claim with three large pieces of luggage on a rolly cart that you have to push the handle down to maneuver.  I handed my passport the to Swiss police as he nonchalantly glanced at my photo and nodded me on through.  As I walked through the mechanical doors a giant scream breaks through my senses.  An uproar of gangstas cheering from my peripheral catches me off guard.  It was my staff and chicas picking me up on a traditional rainy evening in Basel, Switzerland.  
So far my experience has been marvelous.  The girls and my staff have been so gracious and welcoming.  My first official day I went to Budenfest...booth festival and ate traditional German food.  The next day was my day off and I went into Basel again...to see if I could buy items I needed.  Following that me and some of the my fellow male RAs bought frozen dinners and went to a family's house, that we know from training in Canada.  It has been such a whirlwind, but a blessing.  I can't even explain the beauty that surrounds me.  They love there gardens and everything is lush.  
Keep me in your prayers...I know it is not this simple.
