I'm here!

Hi! Arrived at about 3:30pm yesterday and took me about an hour or a
bit more to make it to Christina's apartment. It's very fancy but the
apartment is rather small. Kinda feels like a hotel room but it's
very slick and modern. We had dinner last night at a restaurant
called "Artisanal" which is a cheese-oriented place just a couple
blocks' walk from her front door. I had fondue! They had a couple
Cowgirl cheeses on their extensive cheese list.

Christina left at about 8am this morning for work and I slept in 'til
10. I'll go out today to walk around, maybe try to take the subway,
and look for "For Rent" signs in apartment buildlings in the areas
we're interested in (not sure what those are yet, though). Trying not
to feel too overwhelmed with the things I have to do (find apartment,
get a job) AND get my bearings in this huge city. I'm a little
concerned about finding an apartment without a job, because apparently
some places require a steady income in order to rent.

This is kind of a test post -- more later!
