I arrived!
Left Toronto at 9pm last night : arrived at 6:20am this morning... It was a 5 hour flight and I may have slept 2 hours. I wish I could say I am wired with excitement but all I want to do is sleep. We have an orientation meeting in about an hour, then we go swimming, then go to an international handball match: Iceland vs. Bosnia. I fear napping to only wake up feeling much worse. Better to push through the day and sleep early tonight.
I am sitting in the kitchen of the Odin Guesthouse, which is like a B&B or hostel type environment. Most everyone is snoozing, so quiet alone time is welcome. I'll have lots to share tomorrow but for today, let me back track to leaving Toronto. WOW terminal 3 at the C gates, you look like a scene from the future. I approached a bar where everyone sat at the counter with iPads in front of them, stating at football on the tv, not talking to each other, not even talking with the servers. Food, drink, everything is ordered via the iPads. But it only took me 10 minutes of sitting there in confusion to figure this out. I felt like an idiot, watching everyone's motions to figure out the mystery of how certain people were being served but no conversation actually occurred. And then I saw the Italian victory over England and I knew it would be a good day!
So after a stressful day of ready goodbyes and over tiredness, I am ready for adventure! I am on GMT time and using Viber for international texting. Get the app if you want to be in touch... Or use the usual methods of internetland.
Bless bless,
Natalie.
