We're all excited about the move. The new (luxury) apartment we're going to be in (for a year or two) looks super-spiffy and the apt. community has a gorgeous-looking pool, seems clean, has a gym, clubhouse, looks well-maintained and energy efficient (as opposed to the heat-and-bug trap we're in now) and is close to a bunch of amenities/stores/restaurants we like.
It'll be fun to "start over" again and it seems like there will be more recreational and career possibilities for everyone - and fine special-needs schooling for Gabriel. It will be hot as hell there, but, hey, it's hot here - it's not like we're moving from Manitoba. The pets should like it - there's a dog park for Daisy too!
Seeing Dan and Sally and the kids will be nice - it will be good to have family close, since it now seems almost certain that I won't see my family again for a long, long time.
Overall, it will be a good fit for all and likely our last stop.
The rest of this summer will be spent getting our ship (or shit) together, Julia working on her dissertation, and us trying to make the most of Georgia - which, at this point, basically entails staying indoors and watching TV, maybe popping up to Augusta to go to 2nd and Charles, walking around historic Savannah one more time, and getting some movies on Redbox.
The plan is for me to keep this blog up even when we move, though I'm in the process of trying to make changes (for the better!) to it, attempting to drum up some new ideas to make it more interesting in terms of content and visuals.
Well, that's all for today. I leave you with this image...
...the Piccolimini Library in Siena's Duomo - one of Julia's favorite stops on our Italy stay - and a discovery for her as well.
