After an incredible summer and unforgettable wedding celebration with family and friends from all over, we moved to London on August 14 to begin the next AK adventure, our first as husband and wife! Thanks to a couple of Ikea runs, we've now settled into our cozy, tiny flat here in Finsbury Park, and can't believe how easy life seems here compared to living in Africa. I'm adjusting to being a commuter on the Tube, with my iPod and free London newspapers every morning and evening to distract me from the fact that I'm hurtling underground at great speed with a bunch of strangers, and Anette is taking care of all the practical stuff at home, like setting up our wireless internet last Friday.
Highlights of our neighborhood so far are: Finsbury Park itself, a beautiful expanse of green and trees where tons of people picnic, play sports, drum in the still-warm late summer weather, the Larrik pub around the corner that shows all Premier League matches, the melange of shops and restaurants on Stroud Green Rd, and everywhere you go, the amazing diversity of people, languages, clothing and hairstyles from every continent.
