Greetings! I had new photos to upload, but then the smart card in the camera died while we were out on Sunday. (Problems with the card explains why photos would sometimes be inexplicably missing from the camera. We took more shots of the new apartment’s interior, but they were gone when we got home.) The […]

Long overdue, here are the photo highlights of our last couple of weeks. Included are pics of the interior of the new apartment, our new hotel suite, and general neatness from around town (plus some Sammy stuff thrown in). http://www.permanent-expatriate.com/life_in_neuchatel2/

Our Internet here at the hotel has been spotty for several days. If you’ve emailed me and I haven’t responded yet, that’s why. This is also the reason why there’s been no significant blog post since last week, though Sammy’s continued teething has also played a role. While one of the major supermarket chains here […]

Neuchâtel seems near-perpetually covered in fog during the winter. We had been warned about this by friends who’d lived here previously, but at the time I took their descriptions with a fair bit of salt. They have turned out to be quite correct. In the 10 days we’ve been here, we’ve been able to see […]
