Welcome Home!

So, Sarah and I have come back to our home in true fashion. Yesterday morning (our first morning back) we went down to the police to register ourselves back into the country trying to be good local citizens. The police all remembered us, and were extremely kind and helpful. It was painless. However, we had to call our landlord (whom is a delightful woman) to get the characters for her name. Upon discovering we were back she wanted to immediately get to work on repairing our apartment. She said some people would come in a couple of days. A few hours later, Sarah and I were about to head out to dinner when she showed up with two local men, one of whom was wearing flip flops, Hawaiian print swim trunks and no shirt. He is about 4'3" tall -- the local people are not exactly known for their height. They immediately started tearing apart the walls and then proceeded to haggle with each other over the price. They said it was too much trouble because we have furniture in the apartment (not sure what they expected on that one). So for now, we are sleeping in the guest room. All that said, it really does feel good to be back.
