Getting Mail and Maya's Birthday

We got our first mail forwarded from the U.S. about 10 days after arriving. So I realized that people can write to us here without spending the $ on international mail. Just write to our U.S. address, and it will be forwarded in about 10 days. (Our forwarding will be discontinued around July 23, however.) The kids would love to get letters! In particular, Maya's birthday is July 3, and she misses playing with her friends, so any email messages to her or cards will be much appreciated!

By the way, this is how we are getting in shape for the Alps (subway staircase). At the station on campus, this is just the second set of stairs.
