Top of a Flower Shop

After almost three weeks of searching, we found our place!  It's in St. Ives, a town located about 15 minutes north of Cambridge.  We had hoped to find a place right in Cambridge, but everything was tiny for what we could afford.  But St. Ives is a really cute town and the location we're in is phenomenal.  It's a large apartment right in the town center above a flower shop.  The front of it overlooks the street and it backs up to a river, we actually have a mooring if we wanted to get a boat (I can't see us actually getting a boat, but we can go fishing!).  Here is a picture of the river.  Our place is about 100 feet upstream, located here.

The apartment itself has a lot of character, the leasing agent said the building could be anywhere from 100 to 200 years old, that's a pretty wide range, but nevertheless, it's old!  We need to do some work to it--painting, cleaning, etc., but we really like it overall, and it's big enough to fit all of our junk, err.... belongings. :)  It's three bedrooms (yes, we will have a guest room!), and two and a half baths.  When you walk in from the front door there's a big curvy staircase that goes up to all the rooms.

And here is the view from our deck-- yes, those are sheep!!

So we're moving in next Friday.  We're excited to get out of the hotel and in a permanent place!
