Getting Settled

We were able to move into our flat last week.  We were given the keys on Thursday, and then our shipment from the States arrived this past Tues.  It was difficult to pack and determine what things from Chicago we would need without really knowing were we were going to end up living.  Unfortunately, we think we brought way too much and wish we were better at editing ourselves.  As it stands, we are having to get very creative on where to put everything, but it does feel nice to have some things from home. 

Our new and more longterm address is:

Flat 5, 1-3 Prince of Wales Terrace

London W8 5PG

UK

+44 02 (0)7937 9350 (our UK landline)

On top of moving into our new flat, we ended up traveling to Paris last weekend.  Darrel had business meetings there on Mon, so we thought we'd go in a day or two earlier and see the city.  It was my first time in Paris, and I really enjoyed it.  We didn't really do that much, other than walk all around (I made Darrel walk 8 1/4 miles) but it was really beautiful.  Here are some of the pictures that I took...
