Living in Luxembourg

It's official!  We received our Luxembourg residence permits in our passports, Lux social security cards, and signed a lease to an apartment.  I still feel like I'm in limbo since we're in temporary housing and living out of our suitcases (it's been 1.5 months since we've slept in our own bed), but in one week we'll be moved in our new semi-permanent home.  We'll get the keys to our new apartment next Monday, and our sea shipment will arrive next Tuesday.  Very exciting!

Thankfully, getting settled and adjusting to Luxembourgish life has been going smoothly.  Our jobs are interesting and challenging, and we bike to work almost every day.  And it's fun discovering the little differences of living here with respects to home design/appliances, how bike friendly Lux is, grocery shopping, food, and communication.  However I do miss my family and friends, the beautiful Seattle summer, and the comfort and conveniences of living in the US. 

Here's a couple pictures from our 48 km bike ride around Luxembourg last weekend.   This is the route we took - http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=3925623
