First of all, apologies for the radio silence on my end! Apparently it takes me about a week after moving to return to some kind of normal routine.

So far I love this city. It is by far the biggest place I've ever lived, so I can't get over the convenience of everything. And there's always something to do! This weekend we stopped by our closest farmers market, Tower Grove, and had breakfast while listening to a guy with a guitar sing Beatles songs. Then we bought vegetables from an Amish family and I flailed a little inside, because I'd never actually seen Amish people in real life before. (Which I know I shouldn't make a big deal about, but he had a hat and sideburns and everything!) Later, we went to the Japanese festival and ate yummy noodles and mushrooms. Sunday was quiet and spent at home, and then yesterday we dropped by the Greek festival for spanakopita (my favorite!) and random desserts. So many festivals. And yes, most of our exploration so far has been food related.

Our apartment is great-- fully furnished and adorable, in an awesome neighborhood. I'm very excited to stay here for the next two or three months!

  5. I'm really glad that you like St.Louis! Yeah, New Bern doesn't have much to do. At all. I used to live in a huge city, and I'm happy to hear that you like living in one!

  10. Japanese, Amish, Greek- you had quite the international day.

    OMG, when you wrote, "questionable bottles", literally LOL'd over here.

  11. Brie: Yeah the soda wasn't anything too special, but the bottle/marble thing more than made up for that, hah!

    Diana: Ahaha right, it was a multicultural weekend! And gosh, those bottles. I couldn't get over it! The little cartoon on the wrapper of it exploding bubbles was the part that pushed it over the edge, tbh.
