So, looks like I've found an apartment. I've decided to take the one that's a bit farther away from the office, where Paola lives. It's got parking and a park nearby, it's quiet (really quiet, not the closed windows type of quiet) and the buildings are relatively new (about 5 years). I hope I'll be warm enough in the winter and not hot in the summer. Also, hopefully, I'll be happy there. Now I've got to deal with the approval of the security people, signing a contract, and getting my stuff. I hope this goes smoothly. I'll be happy to leave the hotel. There's nothing wrong with it - just seems I'm not really a hotel person (I meet many business people, mostly men, who don't seem to mind hotels, for me there's something very impersonal about them that doesn't make me very happy). Also, I'll be much closer in town than before which is also nice. These trips back and forth to Milano Due are not my cup of tea (which, by the way, hasn't changed from the time I was in the army schlepping back and forth from J-lem to Tel Aviv and back, at least at the beginning).
Looks like winter or at least fall is here. It started raining in the middle of the night - lightening, thunderstorms, and a lot of rain. and the temp. dropped considerably. The lights kept turning on and off in the hotel room. creepy. There seems to be a leak in my office from a terrace above our office. Hopefully, it's nothing major (we will have to deal with it during the holiday it seems so we don't come back and find a lake here. Also, I really don't want my new computer to get wet...). It's fashion week in Milan and there are many well dressed people walking around (actually, everyone seems to be well dressed here...). I hope it doesn't get too cold before my stuff arrives - I'll have to buy at least fall clothes otherwise.
That's about it. I hope to go see a photo exhbition and something on Oriana Fallaci (i hope that's how the name is spelt). In the meantime, hag sameach to everyone. and do write. I really like getting your comments, mail, etc.
