It finally feels real

I just got back from Guadalajara, Mexico with my dad and two brothers.  We went to check out the sights since we'll be living there for the next four years and not any of us have been there.  It is a huge city with more people than should normally fit in such a city.  It always seems like rush hour and the roads are nearly un-mappable. But within our little neighborhood it is quiet and beautiful.  Here are some pictures of the house we are renting.  There is a family that lives there now, but they are beginning their internship in New York next month so we'll just move right in. The city is beautiful, full of trees growing everywhere and the weather is unbeatable.  They told us that it was the hottest part of the year and it was only 22 degrees C or 72 degrees F.  To say the least we are very excited to begin a new adventure.  We will be moving down the 11th of June.
Our home is the one with the red roof.  It is in a gated community with a security guard on duty 24/7.  It is at the end of the street so not a lot of unwanted traffic. It has 3bed/3bath and an office.










Here is our backyard which is a lot bigger than the one we're in now.  It is just big enough to kick a soccer ball around.











Here is the office, it is all wood paneling and has a lot of space for everything.
