Our apartment in the Alte Stadt

Our apartment in the Alte Stadt

Another long pause between blog posts…

We now live in Tubingen. Our goal, our drive for the past almost year and a half has been to get here. We finally did it. Though I know it wasn’t us who got us here.

Through a series of God events, we have an apartment in the most beautiful part of the city, it just so happens that it is also the oldest part of the city as well. The apartment is older than America! I love saying that. It’s so much fun. It’s pretty small, but plenty big for us. It turns out that the customary thing for old german apartments is to have the shower in the kitchen (which ours is) and the toilet outside the actual apartment in a separate unheated room (again… our is).

One thing it did not come equipped with was any kind of clothing storage, so all our stuff is strewn about our bedroom which forces other things to make their home in the living room, and cycle goes on. All that to say, once IKEA delivers our new shelving units and sofa on Wednesday, I’ll be sharing with you pictures of our beautiful home.

For now you’ll have to settle for this pic I took of the outside. We have the full story of that building, though its not that much. The best part is that door the floor above us… I have no clue what its for, but almost every building has one. I decided that it should be used to build an above ground walkway between buildings. How cool would that be!
