Week Two

Friday, March 19

It’s 5:00 on Friday and the week is over….thank goodness!  We’re at the Starbucks a block from our house (the only place we can get internet access for another couple weeks) working on some of my homework from Boston University.  Amy’s my tutor. J

Our air shipment is finally in the UK and will be delivered to the house tomorrow morning.  Amy had to visit the home store nearby a few times in order to get some basics while we waited for our things, but generally speaking we’ve done fine. 

Work is a bit foreign.  Although I’m part of and resprenting the same business unit, the industry is much different here – it’s definitely a tougher gig, but that’s ok.   

Our neighborhood is fabulous and our place is great.  I’ve learned, with Amy’s help, to manage the bus system, the tube and find my way to work if I want to walk.  In fact, walking at times is faster based on the traffic – it really is a great city for walking. 

We’ve been looking for gyms that suit us and have decided that the one near my office is best. 

Our big news today is that Amy is going to be working at a very nice Pilates studio a half a block down our street.  She’s excited and they are even more excited to have her!  She’ll work a few days a week in the mornings.

We also planned our first trip to Amsterdam April 9-14.  I have to be there for 2 days on business so I thought it would be a good time for us to explore the area.  This gives us a few weeks to research our trip and decide what to do.  I believe THE tulip festival will be occurring while we’re there, which will be awesome.

The weather’s been like Seattle, clear and cold – until today – drizzly…just like Seattle. J 

Everyone has been very friendly here, no exceptions.
