Another success happened last week as we purchased and took delivery of another car. Both of having wheels is making life soooooooooo much easier. Yeah!
We've been doing some exploring of the local area. The houses much smaller than on Wisteria Lane. Both of us are very happy to see so many places to walk/run/bike straight from our front door and also to see so many other people doing the same. There is a good network of sidewalks and paths next to the golf courses which should help keep us on track and off the obesity scale...we hope!
There are several state parks close by which we have enjoyed visiting. Last weekend we went to the San Jacinto monument. It is the site of the 1836 battle which resulted in Texas becoming independant from Mexico. So you can see we're trying to improve our Texan-American History. San Jacinto left Claire with an interesting memory as she was bitten by an unknown (to us) insect. Well at least we got to see how the American medical system works and it wasn't life-threatening! Yesterday we went to Galveston Island state park. There's a super looking campsite literally on the beach so once we can get the tent out of the container it seems we will be going on a camping trip.
Above: Yesterday at Galveston Island State Park (for all of you asking for piccies and to see we're alive and well!)Adam is settling in well at work. However, it seems he has got bored of all this exploring, as he's off to France for 9 days! His ex-colleagues miss him so much he's going back. Also a good excuse for delicious cheese and wine!
