We're Finally Here!!!

Well we have finally made it. After 12 hours to LA, a 3 hour stop over and a 3.5 hour flight to chicago, we stopped for the night to sleep. Waking up this morning we were tired but both realised that we don't feel any jetlag. We believe it is what time it is, so we are happy about that.

After a night in chicago, we made our way back to the airport to catch the Express Air Coach to Lafayette and Purdue. For those that don't know, there are two towns here, Lafayette and West Lafayette, separated by Wabash River. West Lafayette is tiny though and is dwarfed by Purdue university next to it (West Lafayette really functions as the University's town centre). We caught the coach to the Purdue airport and yes, they have their own airport, for charter planes only. On the way down we past through a lot of farming country, growing corn (of course) and soya. It was all, however, covered with snow.

Robin (my new boss) picked us up at the airport and went back to her house where we met her dog Lugh. He is a massive white puppy (pictures in the next post). After that we wandered around as Robin was teaching from 4:30. We have found a nice coffee shop with free wireless which is where I am typing this post from.

We are both fine and looking forward to the next few days getting oriented before we head off to Disney World in Florida.



Finally here in Purdue, and look, there's SNOW!





My future building, and more snow.








Here I am sitting in Robin's chair. Pictures from my office when I move in.
