The New Abode

We have obtained our temporary residence permits (the actual ones will be mailed to us in January). We've signed the lease on the new apartment. We took possession on Dec 15. Several days later we took delivery of our "stuff" shipped from the US. Only a few furniture items have been delivered so far but we put them together and await the delivery of the rest of the furniture before the end of the year.

This is the building. We are on the 6th floor.

This is the "garage door" to the elevator to lower the car down into the parking garage. Very interesting to say the least.

I'd never heard of an elevator for cars, but they are apparently fairly common here due to lack of parking.
