Settled in Portland, OR

I know it's been a while I haven't posted news. I've been quite busy with work and with my falafel->cassoulet->burger diet switch. Yes I'm gone, not in the middle est anymore. I hopped for a week in France to see Fifille getting married in Toulouse, ski and visit countless castles and there I am ! Back in Oregon, the Evergreen. I paved the way for M who joined me a few days later with Mr.

Fifille and Tom getting married.


Since then we've had pretty busy weeks at work and weekends appartment hunting, unpacking, cleaning, car hunting and getting sick. I've been taking care of the last part for the past week or so but it's getting better.

So we found a nice apartment with a great view in the SW part of town and will be living here for a good year. We have a city street car (tramway) stop right in front of our building which is quite convenient to go around (it's free). On nice days we can see mount hood above the highway bridges crossing the Willamette river. We can also enjoy a view on OMSI and its river submarine ! From our window Mount Hood looks a lot bigger than on the picture :).

Our tower is the right one

Oh and for the ones wondering which car I picked, it is a G37. Yeah, I'm using German cameras but I kind of stick to Japanese cars (Audi could have gotten me if they wanted though).
