WANTED: our BED and our STUFF

For a few weeks I thought it was actually nice to be clutter free and only be living out of a few suitcases. There was less to worry about and think about and pack and organize. But now after 4ish weeks of not having our stuff, we want it BACK! Especially our big, comfy, pillow top mattress.  Ahhh... I've been dreaming about comfortable mattresses at night! Our European mattress in the temporary accommodation is stiff as a board. Relief is on its way though - our shipment is currently en route to Switzerland and should be arriving within the next 2 weeks, hooray! I can't wait to have everything here so that we can start making our new apartment feel like home :)

Our new apartment is in the Plainpalais area, which is known for being one of the more lively areas of the city because it is close to the universities.  The actual street that we are on has lots of restaurants and bars (hopefully its not too loud!).  It is also steps away from the Plaine de Plainpalais, which is a big open square that is used as a Sunday market and also for various exhibitions, circuses, and shows. One local told us tonight that it is considered one of the "hearts" of the city. The apartment is currently being renovated while keeping some of the old European architecture which is EXACTLY what we wanted, yay :) We get the keys next Thursday so I will post some pictures when we get in!
