The New Place, Again.

Here it is! The inside of our new apartment. We are almost completely unpacked, but still have a few more things to organize. We are also waiting to get a few more pieces of furniture from an American couple leaving Antwerp in a few weeks.

It is definitely strange having our things here but very nice! The apartment is more like a house because of the size and the steps. It is not fun lugging groceries up to the second floor, but we are getting used to it. We are still waiting for some plants to be planted along the wall of the terrace. By next summer, it will be great to be up there. What we like best about the apartment is the kitchen. It was advertised as an American kitchen because the fridge and stove are a regular size - or what we consider to be regular. I love that I can actually have 4 liters of milk, my salad spinner and drinks in there all at one time. We also have an ice maker in the door. People here don't use ice, you are lucky to get 2 cubes with a soda. All of the pictures are posted on Flickr.

Our New Apartment!!

We made the move and are finally in our new (and hopefully last) apartment. It is only a few doors down from our old place, but it is so much bigger. It is called an apartment, but most people would consider this a house here.

There are four bedrooms on the second floor, a small den and 2 bathrooms. The third floor is an open living space with the kitchen, living room, dining room, powder room and an area for our desk. The entire roof is a terrace with a sunroom. That is our front door with the small window above it. Once everthing is put away, I will take pictures.

It is great to have the space and not have neighbors living below us. The ground floor is a business.

We live just off a small but popular shopping and dining street - Kloosterstraat. It is mostly known for it's antique shops. We also have a view of the top of the cathedral. When it is clear, I will get a picture.
