The last four days were packed with intensity as we searched for housing that was a) large enough to accommodate some of our possessions (we’re already paring drastically) and b) a rent that we could afford. We were very fortunate to be in the right place at the right time and lucked into a cute little house. It’s smaller than our current house (which is also smaller than most, not quite 1500 square feet). It has lots of nice touches, and I think I’ll like it there. The exact date of our move remains unknown until we have a chance to consult with the mover.
I do believe I’m going to like life in the bay area. (Is that considered a proper noun? Should I write Bay Area?) The climate — physically and culturally — feels right. On our last full day, we drove up to San Francisco and then to Muir Woods. You can see a couple of photos below. It was very foggy, so I didn’t actually see the Pacific or the headlands. Soon enough, though, they’ll be within easy reach.
