Not the best pictures to truly represent the enormity of this storm...doesn't help that the dashboard got reflected with the flash!
The next day we made it to the Springs but still didn’t see the mountains till the following day........which is kind of amazing as they are right here and pretty dominating as we saw when we woke up the next morning. They do provide an ever changing backdrop with the sun sparkling on them in the morning, sometimes a storm later in the day and then the sun setting behind them in the evening.
The view from our back windows
Let's see it's been about 10 days since we arrived and I think we're doing a pretty good job of feeling settled into college life. We are living in an apartment in an old building right in the heart of the campus. We have a huge space to ourselves...we can't even hear the kids when they are in their room and we're in the kitchen! I also didn't notice when someone appeared in our hallway thinking this was their apartment....not used to the notion of locking doors yet after years of rural living!.....
Apart from having to think of security we're finding it a lot of fun to be living in the city again. We can walk into downtown or bike and we can access lots of things right here on campus too. We all got college id's...even the kids....so we can use the pool, ice rink, climbing wall, tennis courts, catch a quick bike ride on the trail that runs for miles right outside the apartment…...hey just call us sporty Durhams! Speaking of which the sports fields are located out the back of our apartment so when we feel like it we can catch a soccer game! However it seems it’s the ice hockey team we have to support as they are number two in the country…..Sage already has his supporters t-shirt and can’t wait to go to a game…sorry Jamie…not quite a football supporter yet…you’ll have to persuade him on that one.
