As promised, here are some initial photos of our new place. Most are from outside, but a few from inside the apartment. More to come...

It has been a busy few weeks, especially with work (even I have been working most days!) but made slightly less busy by both Chris' and my long weekend trips falling through! Note to anyone who needs it: You need a visa to go to India. Who knew?

But we have been doing lots of fun things as well...First of all, Chris took part in an amazing race, called the Coastal Challenge. It looked incredibly tough to me, but Chris had a great (full) day!

Here are some pictures of the finish line (the only place I could watch any part of the race, because the locations were top secret) and Chris and his race partner/co-worker Phil finishing the race, triumphant!



More photos and stories to come soon...

Singapore...the land of little monkeys (though I have yet to encounter one,) lots of heat and MOCHI, the inspiration for the new name of our blog: www.mochimadness.blogspot.com

We have been here now for awhile...Well, Chris for longer than me, but even I've been here for over 2 weeks now. We are absolutely loving it - our condo is great, the school is fabulous and the ease of doing just about anything is amazing! More to come, including photos and mayyyybe even a 360 tour, just like on the real estate sites, if you're lucky and if I'm feeling bored, I mean motivated, but now that we're not in Turkey anymore, we're going to change the name of our blog.

Tonight, I decided it should be Mochi Madness - Mochi (which admittedly doesn't sound appetizing on Wikipedia,) for those of you who have not tried the delectable little treat, is the ice cream dessert that we have been mildly obsessed with since arriving here (and I'll be honest, the obsession actually started at Whole Foods back in Greenwich...) It is single serving, so you don't fill yourself up, easy to eat in it's own little package, and just delicious. Chris actually vetoed the blog name Mochi Madness, but...since I'm the one who actually writes this thing, I decided my vote should count twice...

So, for now, until Chris writes a little something, I mean, gets a second vote, I mean, notices...the new address for our blog is www.mochimadness.blogspot.com - Although, if you're reading this sentence, you're already here :) so, welcome! And go try some Mochi!
