Home away from home...

Kim and I were sitting around talking the other night and when we realized that we have not put anything on the blogsite about our house and home for the year. So for those of you out there wondering about our house exchange, here goes. It is a nice house, with high ceilings, and a long and narrow design. It has two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen area, and one bathroom. There is also a small backyard. It is your typical Australian house. The neighboorhood is nice, and we are a short walk to a nice village street with shops, cafes, stores, and a library. We have a outdoor park and outside swimming rec center right next door. We are about 3 miles from the downtown square in Adelaide in the suburb of Forrestiville. Kim is 10 minutes away from her school. The house is also right on the train line, so we can get around easily on public transit, and Kim usually takes the tram to work and back. Most houses, including ours, in Australia do not have central heating, so it was a bit cold in the winter, however we had a small space heater that worked just fine. It is going into spring now, so the tempature is getting warmer and the weather has been quite nice lately.
