lemon trees and shopping sprees!

I am keeping up with my blog entries! I can't believe it! I don't have tons of exciting news to report, but I should probably say that we're all moved in to our mansion! and by mansion, I mean house. I don't know why I said that. Anyways! It's a great place! Most of the houses here are very old and pretty small, but this house is enormous! We spent Saturday helping Gian (our roommate - pronounced "John") unpack boxes and build shelving units, while getting our own space set up. It was a productive day and we're very happy to not have any pressure to find a place! The house is not only incredibly spacious, but it has a lemon tree, peach tree, olive tree, fig tree, tomato plants, various herbs and rose bushes in the front. We're trying our best to put up with such horrid conditions. :)
Other than getting settled, we did some grocery shopping and made our first homemade meal (yay!) and we have been exploring the streets (and getting lost a few times)..
We also plan on seeing more or jessica and erin, once jessica is done uni and erin has found a place of her own! We are also excited to check out the famous victoria market! Jessica and Erin's parents (Sue and Martin) will be coming to city in the next few weeks and we will hopefully plan to make the trip back home with them and spend a weekend or a few days with them (they live in Portland - about 3 hours from here).

Well, that's it from me! Please send either of us an email to let us know how you're doing on the other side of the planet!

Once again, we miss you beacoup!

xoxo,

Lisa and Jean-Michel
