The Shelton women have arrived!



Hey!
Today Emma, My mom and I arrived in Nassau at 4:35 pm. Ros and her daughter Sophie, and My dad came and picked us up at the airport. We went to get the car from the shop and we got to see rush hour traffic and a tour of downtown area on the way. We got home and unpacked and went to supper at KFC. They sell more KFC here than in the states. I thought that was funny. After supper we went and walked along the beach for a little bit.

The water here is very salty and we have to drink from these big water jugs. It's okay to shower in but apparently it's not good to drink. It smells like salt water and so it makes for an interesting bath.

It was very odd driving on the opposite side of the road. The steering wheel is on the same side but it is a very odd feeling to see all these cars coming straight at you, and not very slowly either.

All the buildings are very bright and colorful. Our house is yellow. There is a bank downtown that is a bright purple.

Its very cool here and I wish you all could be here with us. We will send you some sand and shells in a jar to compensate.

Infinite x's and o's,
Mekayla

YEAH! What fun to see the picture of the girls walking on the beach. How many trips did it take from the airport to get all the luggage home? We joked this morning that it would be more than one!!! We are getting excited -- can't wait to come.
