16 Bags

I will not bore you with every detail of all the things we are doing each day. I will try and only provide you with things that have occurred that you might find interesting.

All 16 of our bags arrived with us on time. Amazing! The fun of course was loading them all on one huge cart and wheeling it through the airport to the van that will take us to our temporary living apartment. The van they brought out was huge. One of those people movers with 6 rows of seats, all of which were filled up with our suitcases.

Still learning about tipping. Not sure who to tip or how much. The going rate for anything is 50 - 100 pesos ($1 to $2). So with 5 people handling my bags, everyone gets a tip. So far it doesn't look like anything happens here without multiple people getting involved to provide a service. Of course, I feel like I am walking around with Monopoly money so it doesn't seem painful. I need to give over that quick.
