We'll be arriving tomorrow (Thursday) in Medina! After having been through all the painful processes of letting go of community, of friends and family, and packing up the remnants of a relatively comfortable life in England, we are a bit more free now to realise we are on an awesome adventure!!
As with all new things, there is a healthy balance of excitement..and nerves. Moving home again in itself is a huge deal. I've lived in the city all my life, with access to everything I want, with opportunities for so many different types of community or equally for complete anonymity, and the buzz and rush of hectic streets and vibrant nightlife, the feeling of being somewhere that is known...
the idea of moving to the remote countryside, a town that even people in the same state have never heard of, is ..interesting! very different indeed and although it will definitely take time to get used to, I am looking forward to some big changes in lifestyle! I think I want to plant a herb garden in our yard!!
Even today as we drove an hour out of Belo to visit a beautiful park called Inhotim, I was absolutely loving the scenery and the dust of the roads, and felt a bubbling excitement as I tried to conjure up images of what our new surroundings will be like.
Here's some more photos we were sent of the house:
