Here are a few snapshots taken on the two days in mid-July when our stuff from the US was delivered to and unpacked in our apartment.  We had been separated from our possessions for more than 6 months and could barely remember what we have in these boxes (more than 200 !).  Through this process, we recognized that many of our stuff are not important, old, or useless – some totally forgettable – we are just lugging them around for the sake of possessing them.   Before we put them away, we are going to throw some of them out (or will I? – I know Sue will).

To bookend this story, follow these two link back to the posts Packing Up Edgewater and Moving Out of Edgewater, added in March 2010, with photos of these boxes when they were packed in our US home and loaded onto the container.
