We're pretty much settled in now. S. has been in school since early September - we've found our patisserie, our boulangerie, our favorite cafe, etc. We have our metro passes, a local credit card and we're learning the language. We've been able to rent our house in Yarmouth and things seem pretty buttoned up at this point. I'm just starting to get some drawing done and it really feels like "normal" life here now. Hardly a day goes by without saying, "Wow, I can't believe I live here!"
