Bear Mountain

Just thought we'd post a few photos from Bear Mountain State Park, where we went today for a walk. We are just amazed at the natural beauty of this area after living for about 6 years in city centres. Come and visit us and we'll take you around okay!

Our new home

Just thought I'd post a couple of pictures of where we now live:

This is our apartment, in a converted old carriage house - we live on the right-hand side, and a nice couple live next to us on the left. It's two levels with a small combined kitchen / living area on the ground floor, and bedroom & bathroom on the 2nd. Bigger than anything we've lived in for the last few years, so it's great to have some space! No inside shots yet though sorry because we still don't have all our furniture.

One more picture of the environs:

This is a small lake in Rockland State Park, a couple of minutes down the road, looking back towards where we live. As you can see, it's a nice area, semi-rural, lots of trees. Nice and relaxing.

That's all the pictures for the moment, but we'll put some more up soon.

In other news, I have a preliminary screening job interview on Monday next week (October 1st) for a fantastic NPO that supports refugees and immigrants in finding professional employment in New York City. It's very exciting because all the different aspects of the job are things I have been gaining experience in for the last 6 years. It would be a dream-come-true to have the opportunity to put it all together in an organisation whose mission I strongly believe in and to which I can commit long-term. Anyway, I'll let you know how it goes.

More soon!
