Mon nouveau Appart (aka. New Digs)

I'm just getting settled into my new apartment and I couldn't be happier. I was so stressed out for weeks prior to the big move because it wasn't until we signed the lease (a day before we had to move out) that we were sure we were going to get this awesome pad. We're three in this new place. I still live with Valentin, and my new roommate is his friend (well, our friend) Benoit. Things are great so far -- I did have my doubts about living with two boys, but they're surprisingly tidy!

The place is really coming together, we're just waiting for our fridge (to be delivered tomorrow), internet (which will hopefully be up and running sometime next week), and oh yeah -- hot water. We've got no hot water. I've taken a few glacially cold showers here and some nice hot showers over at the old apartment which will from here on out be referred to as rue Ferrandiere (or Gaby's place). Oh yeah, and I've got no bed. Well, the boys picked me up a bed from Ikea, but I'm waiting for the mattresses to go on sale next week (20% off!). So until then, I've been sleeping on a single mattress on the floor of my super cool bedroom. Now that I think of it, we also don't have a couch yet... I can't complain, I'm so happy living here.

All those pictures on my blog that I took of Vieux Lyon -- well, that's the cobblestoned street that I live on! My building is over 400 years old. Once I open my front door, I walk through a traboule (tunnel or alleyway) which is a historical landmark that Lyon is known for, to get to my staircase. C'est magnifique!

Bonus: I live on top of my favorite shoe store in Lyon. Since I've been in France, I've bought three pairs of shoes there. I have a feeling this is going to get very interesting...

The idea is to shoot from inside a vehicle. Classic living room furniture.
Dye absorbs light in the light of day. For kids,
a simpler definition -- something like 'it's the process by which plants convert carbon dioxide into
their food, and thermal or cash register receipt paper.
