Just a quick update to let everyone know that we're getting settled. A fuller description later. We don't have internet in our apartment yet, so our ability to get online and check email, etc. is limited to when we go to a cafe with our computers.
We signed the contract and paid for the apartment Monday night and moved from the hotel on Tuesday and started setting up our new place. It's been a long week of little sleep and lot of uncertainty and a lot of literal heavy lifting. More about the apartment when we have more time online.
Ilene and her colleagues had their first meeting with their counterparts at the university here re: the exchange/State Dept. grant and came away very enthused. She's scheduled to start work on the Fulbright on Monday morning.
More shopping for apartment needs, finding a gym, retrieving books from the consulate, etc. in the next few days.
