We're locals now

Just a short one today, but there's news to be shared. We've now got ourselves a place to live!

We ended up getting pretty much what we were after, kind of near where we wanted for a pretty good price - good news in all. I don't have the exact address yet, but it's around the corner of St. Mark's Ave and 4th Ave in Brooklyn. It's incredibly close to the express subway line, so getting to work will be a breeze.

We went out to Parmus, NJ yesterday. There's a shopping centre (mall) with about 350 shops, so therr was plenty to look at. The transport was a killer. It took us a couple of hours each way, so we'll have to sort out a better way of getting around now that we're the proud owners of exactly zero cars.

On the way there, we stopped off at Greenwich Village, a very nice neighbourhood in South-East Manhattan. If and when we make the move to Manhattan, this has got to be the spot to be. It had tree-lined streets, little cafes, and a cool little park where people were selling their organic fruit and veg. Just like Park Slope, but nicer.

That's all for now - the weather's been pretty rotten over the last few days, so things have slowed down a bit. The weather's great today, so we'll get outside and explore something new.

Still having fun,
Michael.
