Life Just Got A Little Better

This weekend I moved apartments, and I can't even begin to explain how great this change is for me. First of all, the apartment itself is REALLY nice. It's a bit smaller, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, but it's got hardwood floors and granite countertops in the kitchen and bathroom. The front room is almost completely windows looking out onto trees and hills. I tried to take some pictures, but they just don't do it justice at this point. What you will see is simply a beginning. I will take more pictures later when I've got it the way I want it. From the moment I moved in, it has felt much more permanent than my old place. My last apartment was decent, but its major selling point was the view. Here, I don't have a view of the city, but as you can see in the pictures, I've got a pretty nice view of foliage and other buildings. Plus, what you can't really see, is that I've got a little river down below my place. Every night, I fall asleep listening to water flowing. Very peaceful.

The other great thing about my place is that I have location, location, location. I am a five minute walk from the best part of the city, called Parque Lleras. It's the nicest, but most expensive, area in Poblado. It's basically a park surrounded in all directions with nice restaurants, bars, and tons of dance clubs. It's the place to see and to be seen. You wouldn't believe the "scenery" there...

So yeah, I'm really excited about this change. Not only is it a killer apartment with incredible location, but I'm surrounded by young teachers. Even our bus to school in the morning is fun. No longer do I have to sit with some of the "senior" staff members and hear about ailing bodies, aches, pains, etc. This group is fun.

My new apartment is screaming for visitors. Who's coming to see me?
