Getting our things into the apartment wasn't easy though. Some of the boxes wouldn't fit into the tiny elevator. The delivery guy said they were too heavy to carry up the stairs, so his solution was to unpack the boxes on the ground floor and place the contents into the elevator. I was waiting on the 5th floor and would unpack the elevator. It looked like something out of a Laurel & Hardy movie. Anyway, everything arrived unscathed.
Lori's company provides furnished apartments, which is why we weren't allowed to ship our furniture. The furniture they provide is not what you would call high quality. It's all brand new but kind of ugly and uncomfortable. Imagine a cheaper and crappier version of Ikea. Since we can't take it with us, it doesn't make sense to go out and buy our own stuff. Lori couldn't take it anymore though and she went out and bought a new couch.
It finally feels like we are settled and our life is back to normal. We went to the market on Sunday for the first time since we've been back. I have missed that. I found some incredible cherry tomatoes and basil so I made my version of a Caprese Salad. Of course, I couldn't leave the market without cheese and bread as well.
On a completely unrelated note, here is a link to my friend Anna's blog. She and her husband Eric were in St. John's for our anniversary party and she put up some great pictures. Enjoy.
