Settling in....

.....kind of. Its definitley a lot of changes. But Italy, come on. I finally got a washing machine today. Have had a dryer for a couple weeks, but that doesnt do me a lot of good. And am having a lucky morning swiping a wireless connection from somewhere around here. Our internet/phone will be hooked up on wednesday of next week, aparently they dont do anything too fast around here. And better news, is that they FINALLY picked up all of our 'stuff' in michigan, and that means its somewhere between here and there. Though, they still say it should take about 2 months to get here.
We ventured to Ikea the other day to pick up basic things, though we had to take the bus, to the train, a taxi and then reverse that process. So you can really only get so much, knowing it has to go on three different modes of transportation, and no our bikes were not an option for that trip! We're car shopping. There's a lot of people leaving right now, so its easier now than a couple weeks ago. Everything from a 20 year old toyota for $500 to much newer way more expensive cars. And do we need two cars? Or can we get by with one? Who knows! And then we still have to get our licenses. Which, i think will be harder to do than at home. Things are pretty confusing to me around here. Its only a matter of time. Patience, i keep telling myself.
I havent posted pictures yet(obviously) But will soon. Hope all is well wherever you all are. Much love!
