Grey and rainy

The weather since we arrived in Hamburg has not been great. It was raining like crazy the day we arrived, and since then it's rained most of each day. Saturday it was sunny for a bit in the morning, but by the late afternoon it had clouded up and was starting to spit. I hate to say this but I think that makes it seem a bit more familiar. After living in Seattle for so long I'm very used to the rain starting in September or October, and it feels distinctly odd when it holds off to mid- or late-October. Of course, not that I wouldn't mind some sun...

Anyway, all of that is to say that I took some photos of our apartment, but since it's been mostly cloudy/rainy they're not fabulous. But it's nice, I promise!

This is the hallway, looking from the living room to the kitchen.


All the rooms have doors, which makes sense since they're all individually heated. It's funny to go from our Seattle house, where the only room with a real door was the bathroom, to this. This is the kitchen, with a balcony that overlooks the courtyard.
Our bedroom, which also looks over the courtyard.


The office/guest room (hint hint!). This room looks onto the street and we're low enough that it's easy for me to people-watch while sitting at the desk.


And the living room, which has windows onto the street.


And it's supposed to be sunny tomorrow and Tuesday!
