This is the guy everyone wants to know about. His name is Paul and he is absolutely wonderful! I thought you might want to see a picture Jody so are you happy now?



I know what you are thinking...what took you so long Megan?

Well it has been quite a life changing month. Two days after arriving home from Scotland completely exhausted I packed up my life in my little car and drove to San Francisco. I have now been here a bit over two weeks and am really getting settled in. I love the family that I am working for and the area is soooooo beautiful. However, I don't think I have slept properly in the 2 weeks since I got here. I am supposed to be working nights but for the first time in my life I am having dificulties sleeping during the day! Go figure. Other than that things are great. I have the spectacular wild outdoors literally out the door. The golden gate national recreation park is two houses down the street and has endless trails to explore. The wildlife is also quite impressive. The people and the animals seem to live together fairly peacefully compared to most populated areas I have seen. Although that could just be because they don't have many racoons or skunks around. The other day driving down the mountain I saw a herd of about 10 deer on the side of the road grazing. Even more exciting was yesterday when the car in front of me stopped in the middle of the road to let the giant wild turkey cross the road! That is something I never thought I would see in San Francisco! So this is me sending my love from San Fran (as the locals call it) me and all the crazy turkeys.
