finding our feet and somewhere to live

This week we've been walking around, looking at appartments, and organizing more admin type stuff.
Here you see Felix on top of the fAO building, where we have lunch at the caffeteria with Francisco.
Then there's a pic of the building in which we're staying at the moment, we have another week to go here.
On our hunt for appartments you come across some interesting decorations in the courtyards (felix in front of fountain)
Anyway it looks like we've found something and if all goes well we can move in after next weekend. I'll write more about it once we're there.
The costs of all of this are a bit scary and we're still waiting for our subsidies and advances from Frano's work, so far we've had to somehow foot the bill, including our tickets and hotels. For our appartment we've got to pay 3 months AHEAD and 3 months bond..which is soooo sooo sooo much money at once! and don't get me started on Felix school fees (he really would like to go, as he's hanging out for some friends). So right now we're waiting for money and hoping it all comes this week, so we can secure the place we want to live in and don't end up in the street.
