Apartment Photos

I am happy to report that we are all moved into our apartment! Our place is great! The location is fabulous, including an amazing view of the river. Our place has old-world charm such as rustic wood floors, insanely tall ceilings, a unique though non-functioning fireplace, and three fabulous windows that are large enough to sit in. Of course the summer will find Luis and I sitting in a window gazing at the river, sipping champagne, and eating snails. Well... we will see about the snails.
I won't get into the details but we did have some factors against us such as a rare 2-inch snow fall on moving day and four, yes, four flights of stairs to move up. But the view is worth it.
Luis is getting settled in at work. Mostly all of his co-workers speak english, though he has requested people to speak to him in French so we can learn the language. I am doing my part by going to the highly-respected language school, Alliance Francaise. I am enrolled in some intensive (and expensive) classes. Next step, I will be seeking out some graphic design projects locally.
Please enjoy the photos of our apartment.

The painted wall was as we found it. Its kind of funny, but will repaint it.
