Settling In

It has been quite a week getting settled in here.  All and all things have gone quite smoothly.  I spent the first two nights with my new friend, Den, in here amazing apartment in big city and right on Oriental Bay.  It gave me the the opportunity to walk around the city and get to know the lay of the land.  I feel a lot more oriented, though I'm still not sure where I will find my advisor for our meeting tomorrow.  That will be my next project.


On Friday I moved into our cute little apartment out in Island Bay.  I already love this little village.  Everything we need is within walking distance (groceries, playground, school, beach, and seals!....see video for more details) and there is a bus that goes straight in the city.  The apartment is perfect for us.  It has lots of windows on three sides, so we practically have a panorama of the area.


The only thing that will make it better here, is the arrival of my family.  Only a couple more days until Paddy and the three younger kids arrive!  It will be fun to explore this place together.
