How fun it is to set up a new home! Sure, the lugging of the heavy furniture and hours of IKEA-building are not necessarily activities of choice, but once it's all said and done, it is just so NICE! We are in love with our new place. It couldn't have worked out better. Initially, the daunting task of setting up viewings and securing a desirable place to live seemed close to impossible. This was actually the first (and only!) place we saw! It is in a lively, hip location in east Berlin with lots of cafes, pubs and shops all within walking distance. The one downside is Matt's commute - one hour each way. He has stocked up on some good novels at a local English bookstore to help pass his daily train ride. Here are some pics from the last few weeks. As of today, we are online here at our new place, so expect some more updates soon! Once we get the place set up a little more, we'll pass along some of those photos as well!
Matt built our new bed with his handy swiss army knife!

The view from our new balcony...I think we'll have to wait for spring to really enjoy it!

Laura,
I stumbled upon your blog and was captivated by your adventures. I lived in Lompoc for MANY years so SB was always a weekend trip for our family. I live in Portland oregon now and agree with your comments about the kennedy school, been there many times. I made a cross country trip and loved reading your insights on what you saw. . and best of all.. . .I have been to Berlin and in fact have many close friends in Germany and have gone many times to Munich & hamburg as well. So i love reading about what you see. Please write back to me via email. Would love to be a "penpal".
