we went to the bank, AGAIN to add enough money for the deposit. then we headed back to the apartment to sign the lease and leave the deposit check. we celebrated by having lunch in the lovely cafe down the street looking out onto the park. a wonderful lunch in a place i think i will be spending a lot of time. j said this was the best meal so far this trip. she had a creamy chicken and mushroom pasta. i had a great salad with country ham - sort of like prosciutto - served with goat cheese melted on toast. p had pizza.
we toured the upscale shops on the street: sephora, amorina (fancy ice cream chain), etc, and j was thrilled with the idea of living in a mall. perhaps our idea of showing her a different lifestyle is going to backfire on us! then, as we were going to leave the area, the landlord called to say he had lost our check. it had fallen out of his pocket and we had to go and stop the check. so we went to get an official letter from him, addressed to the bank and we raced to get BACK to the BANK before it closed for the weekend! after not seeing me for 12 years, they are really getting to know me again.
