We have a new home.

After considering many options, we have settled on a new home.  It is only a few blocks from the university campus, but that is were the similarities to our house in Pocatello end.  Here are the vitals:
  • It is an apartment, on the 17th floor of a brand new building.
  • It is 68 square meters, or 732 square feet.
  • There is an alarm, a pool, a gymnasium, a roof patio, a 24 hour concierge and reserved parking.
  • The price is reasonable and it is unfurnished.
  • Everything is in working order...no need to scrape old paint.
We spend today negotiating with the kind owner, shopping for kitchenwares and moving some of our belongings from our hotel to the apartment.  Tomorrow we move in.  If you want to send some international mail (always fun), you can reach us at (I am not totally certain of this):

Ben and Cana Crosby
Ongolmo 551, Suite 1704
Concepcion, Chile

(google maps street view visited the area last year when our building was only 3 stories old.  how cute.)

Here are images to feast upon.



Aerial view of our building from another apartment nearby.  Image was probably collected in mid-2013.



This is the layout of our apartment.  Not huge, but it will work for us.


Sunny view on the first day we visited.


Night views during our fist night in the apartment.  First looking north, then northeast from the balcony.
