The weekend we got back from training, we had dinner at the Jack and Kathy's. A bunch of the US Valvoline Expats got together....it was a fun evening. We owe a lot of our adjustment to Jack and Kathy - thanks to them we had a place to store things and use internet so James could attend class.
In our second and third weeks here we went house hunting with our expat integration consultant. Some of the photos are below ....
Notice the purple carpet and paint....definitely not a taker......
This one was in Rotterdam...floors were not finished....
This one was in an area of Rotterdam, notice the shower is in the middle of the bathroom and did not have an enclosure...needless to say we didn't choose that one.
We liked this one. It is also located in Wassenaar, had a nice backyard area and several bathrooms. We didn't get it because the landlord had promised it to his friends in Belgium earlier that morning. It's actually a good thing because the biggest bedroom would have held our bed, and THATS IT. The dining,living and kitchen area were all open. The ground floor and backyard are what made us like it.

And after viewing about 18 different places, we came back to the first place we saw.......(see next post)
In October I met my new friend Courtney. James was travelling the day before my birthday, so Courtney and her mom (who was in town visiting and helping Courtney get organized, she moved here in August) took me to dinner for my birthday. It was a comforting momemt at the beginning of this crazy adventure. THANK YOU Courtney!!
