i had to pack my stuff over to the place and make a couple trips in doing so. one included my snazzy new backpack that my sister and mom got me for my birthday! thanks so much! and of course the binkster was along for the house sitting gig. the house has two floors and was a lot of fun to be in. it was kind of like a retreat in a way--so quiet!
one night we had a couple over to dine with us and later we made a fire in the outdoor fireplace! it was so nice. we were super-smoky afterwards, but it was worth it. for dinner that night we had blt's, oriental cole slaw, and fruit, cheese, and crackers. it was a nice night out in the backyard.
speaking of the backyard---here is one half of it. i took this photo from their second floor deck/balcony. one day i helped take care of a group of kiddos. we played in the yard quite a bit and enjoyed the grass. i even got to teach everyone how to play the lovely game of Red Rover--i couldn't believe the guy that was also helping watch the kiddos hadn't ever heard of it (he was raised in the States and all)!
another exciting discovery here in town! i walked around the neighborhood where this house was and finally got to visit a bakery that i had heard was really good. they weren't serving food, but were open selling pastries for folks to take home for ftour! i bought some yummy crusty french bread, then went to the other side to find these lovely creations! they were very good and made for a delicious breakfast.overall it was a great time. it was interesting being in a place that was a bit out from the center of town (like where our apartment is). and having some ammenities were nice; like the dishwasher and washer AND dryer!! i was shocked at how quick the washer and dryer worked. i will be in for a pleasant surprise when i go back to the States, i think:)
