I don't really think I understood the power of having your own space until this week.Since arriving in Girona Jonathan and I have been living in a communal apartment owned by the team. The apartment has an amazing history from people living in it probably during World War II to it being home to many professional cyclists over the years, including Lance Armstrong. It was a great place to stay, it had heat, a kitchen, a bedroom for us. and it was wonderful of the team to allow us to stay there until we found a place.... but it just wasn't home.
This past Monday we (rather I, Jonathan is on a 2 race trips currently) got to move in. Luckily we got to move about 80% of all of our stuff last week prior to the "official" move (thank goodness) because without a car I think I probably would have made 1o or so trips across the city to move all of our stuff. :) The apartment has 2 floors (see the last picture on the right) , 2 bedrooms (one double and one single) and 2 baths and a tiny galley kitchen that is designed perfectly.
We are feeling much more at home and both of our stress levels have dropped at least 10 notches cause now we just have space to "hang out'.
It has been a couple of weeks since I started this blog.
We are definitely settled in and enjoying European living and trying out hand at being minimalists. Cooking is definitely an adventure as you can see the kitchen only fits 1 person comfortably.... :) let's hope we don't have any big parties soon cause everyone won't be able to fit into the kitchen.
So now it's time for you all to come visit!
Hope to see you soon!

Your place looks great!I am so glad and jealous that Julie came out to see you. I would love to come visit, however, getting to the grocery store is even a challenge these days. Miss you.
Jill,
Place looks wonderful ... very euro chic. Hope all is well.
