I went to see the apartment that Rob and I will be moving into and to meet the folks we’re doing the houseswap with. Both the family and the apartment were delightful. The kitchen is much bigger than it looked in the photos and it has an old double oven gas stove, which looks to predate ours. I’m in heaven already.

Everything else was much as it was in the photos that the B– family sent to us. Yay. T– and his wife R– are really lovely people. They cooked dinner for me, and we discovered that T– has the same love of china and serving meals in courses that I do. It was so much fun. I’ve promised to get together with them again before I leave, but I’m not sure when I’ll have time to do that.
