New Digs

Moving day (or should I say night) was Saturday at 6pm.  We had all intentions of making 3 trips on the train to move all our belongings.  I mean, everything was packed in duffels and suitcases just 3 weeks earlier, how tough could it be?

Well, we made it as far as the outside of the temporary apartment on trip 1 before Brian declared it wasn’t going to work.  And, he was right.  I couldn’t even carry my load 2 feet without everything toppling over.  So while he waited for a Taxi Van, I headed on the train to meet the landlord with 1 suitcase and 1 duffle – which was 1 suitcase and 2 duffels less than I was originally attempting. 

And now, here we are.  Living in Ranelagh.  The apartment has is quirks, but overall it's great and the neighborhood couldn’t be better. 

I know what you’re thinking – it’s really white.  The photos really accentuate the white, it’s really not sterile, it’s nice.  And I didn't take a photo of the 2nd bedroom/guest room!

A 2-minute stroll through the park and we are at the gym, the supermarket, the bar, the coffee shop, etc.  We’re no more than a 15-minute walk to the far end of the City Center, which is so much better than a 25-minute train ride.

Ranelagh Street

Soon we will get bikes, which will open up a whole new world for us.  Of course, we’ll have to practice riding on the “wrong” side of the road before we hit any major thoroughfares.
