Taking Steps

The title here has a dual meaning:

First, it refers to the 80 steps up to our apartment (no elevator), and the 70 steps up to my office (elevator optional). This is in addition to the up and down the floors in my university to and from class, etc. We even found a park that had 100 stairs up to its main level.

Second, it refers to all the good progress we're making. We have the tables in our apartment, it feels more homelike everyday, and we should have our internet at home on Monday. Wireless, even! We're finding restaurants, including a place that charges you by the weight of your food, a cheap lunch place in the basement of a theatre, and a couple nice bars right across the street from our apartment.

So we live on a stairmaster, and progress continues.
