Photo/Video Dump! (#1)

Monday January 9: I have big news to report: I found a place to live for 4 months! I inquired (through airbnb and also a brokerage site) into about 6 different places and visited most of them, but they were either too small, too far away, partially unfurnished, or had other issues with them. I finally visited an airbnb yesterday (Sunday) that is PERFECT! More to come in another blog post once I move in there on Wednesday. I also will be starting my college work this week, so I’ll have lots to report on shortly.

In the meantime, I thought I’d share some of my favorite photos and videos with you! If you click on any given photo throughout the blog posts, you will be able to see a bigger version which gives more detail on a laptop screen. You can also scroll through them like a “slide show.” I actually find that to be the best way to view them. (See videos below the photos.)

Biking to an apt viewing!
