Our Apartment

The Fingerles were kind enough to find an apartment for us that is about 10 minutes from almost anything that we need in Leipzig. We can walk to Church on Sundays. Josh walks to work in the mornings (past a bakery or two where he is learning to order doughnuts for breakfast – “zwei Berliner – Erdbeeren, bitte”). There is a giant park close by too. It’s great. We have a nice living room/bedroom/dining room area.

We also have a kitchen with a sink, two burners, a remarkably small dishwasher, and a little fridge. Without inspecting the kitchen, we purchased a frozen pizza on our first night here (Aldi was the only thing that was open when we got here, frozen pizza wouldn’t have been our first choice). When we got home we realized we have no oven. Josh was ready to eat “cold pizza,” but Janae managed to cook it in a pan on the stove top. Nicht schlecht.









And, a bathroom with just about everything we need.

It’s nice. We’re comfortable here, and grateful for the help in getting a place like this lined up. We probably couldn’t have found anything like this on our own.

The apartment is in a great area too. Most of the buildings are new or newly renovated. There are a few canals, and on one of them you can ride in a real Venetian gondola (maybe we don’t need to go to Venice after all; although the pizza might be better). The church in the last post is just around the corner from our building. And, did we mention it’s a very convenient location?
