We've moved!


On Friday, our driver called the embassy person he knew who was cleaning our new house to make sure it was ready.  It was!  We loaded up our meager belongings and headed over.  The house looks much, much better all clean with furniture in place.  It’s quite a large place though and way more than the two of us need.  It’s a lot bigger than the flat was.  The dogs are very happy with their new yard and being able to run around without having to be on leashes constantly.  It’s quieter out here too.  We don’t hear the hustle and bustle on the street…. the planes from the airport are a different story.  It’s all fine with us though.  I think it’s super cool that we live near a mosque.  I heard something the first day and looked at my watch – 5:30pm.  I went outside and, sure enough, I could hear the call to prayer.  I haven’t quite figured out the different times that this happens.  Here are some pictures, check out my facebook page for a more detailed tour.

The dogs have a yard!
