We've had a great few days here. This weekend we hung out with some friends from school that have a 3-year-old son. We went to the Diwali celebration at the V&A Museum. Diwali is a Hindu religious holiday, so at the museum we enjoyed some great Indian music, workshops, and storytelling. Then, we spent the beautiful autumn afternoon at Hyde Park where they have a children's playground that is build like a pirate ship.
Yesterday we had a great time at a social gathering for all the LISPA students. One of our good friends who is a second-year student has set us both up with a part time job serving beverages during intermission at the opera. It will help a lot since my job hunt has proven to be a slower process than anyone could ever imagine. Plus, we'll be working side by side with our friends and hopefully getting some sneak peaks at the opera!
Andy had his first day of school today and it went very well. He really connects with his instructors and fellow students. It's going to be a great 2+ years.
Well that's the good news, hope you are all doing well back home.

Mandy,
Thsi is a special time for you both. Karen and I are thrilled to be a small part of your trip. The weather haas turned colder and the leaves are about all down. Tomorrow is one week in your/own new home.
Best regards
Karen & Skip
Thanks for the pictures. Andy, I have a similiar pose of you as you leave for your first day of kindergarten...your jobs at the opera house should be fun.
Let's plan another video cam conference, soon.
Have good days. We miss you. Love, D and M
