Road trip!

This was our destination. Mission: To look for The Niece

The school is quite compact, and perched on a hill. I thought it would have been more vast.

We had to hunt for the House mother, who then told us that The Niece was in the cafeteria. She and her friend ran out squealing and hugged the mother and aunty. The cameras captured those too.

We had come outside of visiting hours, so we only had 15 minutes with her before nap time. Well they don't really have to sleep....according to the House mother, they have to be in their dorms and be quiet. Difficult for the Niece.

When it was time to go, there were more squeals, this time, not of delight but "why you have to go?"

But she seems to be adjusting well. They are only allowed one phone call per week, and to come home every third week. We are waiting on the call to tell us that she won't be coming home but rather, will be staying with her new best friend instead!

Where is highway 2000? Glad to hear that your niece is settling in school. My niece is also settling in. My sister is thinking of broading her, to learn to be "responsibly".
