My office and around town...

So time flies by and slowly I am finding my way around better and better.  I really enjoy it out here - although there is still tons to learn and explore and ...  many more things to organise.  In a nutshell: still dont own a car - nor have I found an apartment yet.  All work in progress...
But for now let me share some more impressions from around here.  First my building: the Vice-Commandant's House (House #28) or the School for Peace and Conflict Management.  My school director is thinking about changing the name of our school - but I will leave that story for another day...  My office is downstairs and next to the kitchen (still unsure whether this is a good or a not so good thing).  It's one of the smaller offices, yet bigger than my last one...

My office is actually much larger then it seems in this picture - I am standing about half way into it.  I like it - in particular my view out to the gardens...

This is the rain that I am told will be around from now till March - hope that wont really be the case!  There has been some sun over the weekend - so I have hope!!



Some of my new buddies around campus wanted to say hello too: meet a few of the peacocks and some deer that hangs out here too.  There are tons of chipmunks which are too fast to capture and the racoons by the Security building and plenty of ducks of all shapes and sizes.  Will have to learn some of the species....




Some impressions from around downtown from my househunting walks...  the parliament building and one of my favorite houses on Michigan Street - would love to find a place like this!!

 This is a gazebo in Beacon Hill Park - a great place to hang out.  And just a walk away from the ocean....

Finally just some random fun bits I pick up along the way...  my new favorite yogourt is OF COURSE Balkan style...
