Our move consisted of two days, a first day for packing up all the stuff in cardboard boxes and a second day for loading them onto a container. Originally, it was scheduled for January 25 and 26. But on Friday January 22, I asked the movers to come a day later since we were so…

These photos were taken from our balcony at the beginning of our last day at Edgewater. The movers were coming to pick up our stuff at 8 am so we were up super-early. The NYC ferry just swept by to pick up its first load of passengers. Sue went to grab breakfast from McDonalds. Rise…

Landing In Switzerland

It captures the moment of my first landing on Swiss soil as a foreign worker.…
