Outside

Here's a picture of the outside of my building. My apartment is visible from this shot but is just too difficult to explain via the blog. I figured since you've seen what the inside of my apartment looks like you might like to see the exterior.

I am still quite happy with my decision about where to live. I really like the neighborhood and have learned most of the immediate area. The few friends that I have here all live within walking distance which is great too and was totally unplanned.

As you can see, I live at an intersection. One of the roads stays relatively busy but it is not a bus route so it is typically just car traffic. At first I was really worried about the traffic noise but it honestly hasn't bother me at all. I think the noise is just part of city living and you just get used to it. Since this is the first time I've actually ever lived in a city I don't have anything to compare it to.
