Dee is off to day 2 at work, with one day down from yesterday. She can elaborate on the details, but it sounds as if earning a spot in the London PWC office is a very prestigious and sought after position. Way to Go!
In addition to being her first day of work, it was also our official day 1 in our new place. With all the pleasure of finding our place behind us, we both knew that moving in would be an adventure. There were a few twists to the day that made it interesting, including a HUGE Tube strike, which both of us had 0 idea about. Apparently Metronet Rail, the largest contractor on the London Underground walked off the job yesterday at 6pm due to some labor negotiations gone bad! Unfortunately for Dee and I this meant getting all that luggage to the new place by way of bus...which was also being used by all 3 million other London commuters.
On the way to the bus, another lovely thing happened. Not trying to be crude...we narrowly averted being peed upon. Yes...you read it correctly, peed upon.
In London you always have to be ready for the unexpected, even if it comes in the form of a stream from the darkened stoop of an apartment complex. I wouldn't have written about had it not been symbolic of our London house hunting experience!
But...we're in!
Checking out of the Cloisters today and moving on to our new pad.
