We have a home!

We’re finally in an apartment. Here are some pictures of our place. We bought furniture and have unpacked the air shipment. Now we just need the sea shipment to arrive and we’ll be good to go! I can’t wait to have real wine glasses again. The lowball glasses just aren’t quite as romantic ;)
The move was relatively easy – the hardest part was getting to and from the city in our new car. Driving on the left side of the road has been quite the challenge. It never occurred to me that I drove in the States without giving the action much thought. Now that we’re on the other side of the road I actually have to concentrate on what I’m doing! Gauging the distance in the lane on each side of the car is a special challenge because the lanes are generally very narrow here. The country’s settlement started in Sydney so the when the roads were built they weren’t very wide. As time and expansion have progressed, the lanes have gotten wider but many of the old roads are especially hard to traverse. Beyond the narrow roadways, sitting at a traffic light is really the hardest part. You have to hope that there will be a car in front of you so you can follow them into the turn. Otherwise it’s up to you to make a snap decision about which lane to follow!
