49 rue du Portail Magnanen

We poor wayfaring strangers have a home (away from home) at last. 

Welcome to 49 rue du Portail Magnanen, suite A302, postal code 84000, Avignon, France. 



apparently people don't need sheets here, all we get is that blue felt blanket and a mattress cover

wasted no time buying wine and beer

Brock's desk

can you tell whose side is whose? 

My desk

Mini-shower, which I haven't tried yet, but according to Brock the shower head could qualify for a CLR commercial.  

who needs a kitchen when you have a hallway? 

we went to a tiny little grocery store today, just to get some food for lunch and dinner. We're going to the market tomorrow.

our adorable vanity (I particularly like the movie star lighting above the mirror)

and this is the view inside the cabinet. 

So far so good with this apartment; the rent is what we expected (although I had to buy MORE insurance, I must be the least liable person in France), and we have a mailbox (the address is at the top of this post). the building is pretty new, and we don't have any irritating neighbors (yet). 

Time for dinner attempt number one! (Brock doesn't think we can mess up canned ravioli, I'm not so sure)

  4. Sounds good Leslie! Mom, we've since graduated to more refined forms of pasta. And Don, the bed is definitely economical, but the actual sleeping is getting better for both of us, though it's still difficult to get a solid good night's sleep.
