Annette is here, the apartment is no longer lonely! 

Well, thats a lie. She works all day and I've yet to start so I still wake up to an empty apt...

I figured I would post some places of our apartment and where we live!

   We're on the third floor

View from our kitchen

Aparatifs (sp?)

In Italy they have this happy hour-like event called the aparatif (I tried to find spelling online but it kept correcting it to 'apartheid'....)

 You usually pay 5-10 euro and you get a drink and a buffet of snacks. 

The one we went to last night was at a culinary school.

It was 6 euro for a drink and unlimited food prepared by the students. 

We had pesto gnocci, fresh fruit, couscous, bruschetta, grilled chicken, lemon rissoto... etc 

You can just keep filling and refilling your plate...

Okay. I'm off to buy coffee.
