Living in London

We are settling into our new digs — leaving the buzz and tourists in Kensington for the northwest borough of Camden, in a neighborhood called Hampstead.  All we know so far is that our tube stop is the deepest in the entire underground system (300 steps up if you don’t take the elevator), and that our new park is called Hampstead Heath.  We are looking forward to exploring our little village-feel high street, and to listening to the wind blow through the trees in our new serene neighborhood.

We are also waiting for the movers eventually fit our sofa through the front door (they are coming back Tuesday). During the move last week, one mover said, “Everything’s bigger in America isn’t it?  Even the moving boxes.”  And I had to admit, as I unpacked 20 wine glasses, that we completely overdo most things in America. In any case, I am glad to be in England, even without a sofa!

We will get photos up soon, so stay tuned!
