And, just like that, it was year two! The summer quickly pushed back into the memory banks as we revved the engines for the new year! Our arrival found the place to be pretty hot, though not as hot as we remembered. Was it us? Was it really not as hot as the year before? Whatever it was, we felt more prepared, our arrival so much more uneventful and expected. The "wow" factor lingered a bit but this was nothing compared to the wide-eyed arrival just one year earlier. The place - both the city and the school - was familiar and the home welcoming.
By the time school began we had were ready to go. Walking through the door brought with it a sense of familiarity that gave us a good feeling. It's nice to return to a place where you know people, where you aren't constantly asking "where is this" or "who do I talk to for that".
The girls settled in rather quickly as well, with Irini taking it in stride (and loving her new teacher). Amalia needed a bit more time, as she always does, but, in the end, she too is well adjusted. It's "go" time! :-)
