We DID, however, agree to purchase a car today - a Toyota Vitz. A little tiny itty bitty coupe for Craig to commute to work in. Pictures to come after we pick it up on Monday morning. Then it's off to visit more housing. We bargained the guy down a bit and got a good deal on it too. Oh! And we got a cell phone too. Now we can go out in town and call people when we need to! What a concept. (Well, on the island - we're not using this sucker to call internationally, however, you can call US as long as it isn't between 9pm and 1am our time. I guess that's peak time out here!
Damnit, I'm just tired. I do NOT want to give in and live in ticky tacky base housing - but now I am realizing what a long commute Craig will have and feeling selfish about wanting to live in a more cool downtown area - and of course, every other place we saw in that area isn't quite right for some reason or another. I'm tired as HELL of living in a hotel with my kid sleeping on the floor and not able to do much in the evenings except quiet things b/c she's sleeping. Ok - it's a blog, not a bitch session, I realize. Sorry.
Tomorrow (Sunday) we're going to have dinner with a coworker of Craig's and his wife & son. Maybe we'll see what the base housing looks like on Courtney too - though I'm sure I'll be disappointed (great attitude, I know).
We went to Blue Seal tonight, which is a local ice cream shop.

STARBUCKS! This isn't the only one, but it's the only one we've visited thus far. The drive thru is interesting because we drive on the opposite side, so it's all very strange. I actually took this picture from the passenger seat in the car at a stoplight. They have other kinds of frappucinos, lots of good desserts and scones, but it's quite different. It's very neat & nice inside, and even the trash here is well-organized (if I haven't mentioned, we'll need a whole class in separating trash here - completely mind-bogglingly complicated).
