Getting Settled in the Permanent Apartment

This post is attempting to make up a few days since my last post, so I tried to make it streamlined but at times it will probably read more like a shotgun blast.
        So we have been in Amiens, France for 4 days and we are starting to get more settled in our permanent residence. We went shopping today for groceries and other necessities and will finish up all the rest of the shopping and the pre-registration for Jessica's school tomorrow. A few notes on groceries here in France. Somethings are very cheap here, I mean really cheap. For instance, today we bout 8 pounds of potatoes for 90 cents and we also got 12 liters of bottled water for 1.00 Euro. However somethings we find as cheap back home, like sandwich meat, is very expensive and is sold by the slices! IT is interesting, but I am sure I will have an entire article on groceries and food in general here shortly.
      Tomorrow will be our first time venturing out and exploring the bus system tomorrow. It seems to be a very nice bus system and I am looking forward to trying it out. We have a bus stop just up the road so we at least do not have to go very far. To celebrate the settling of the new apartment we have purchased a small bottle of wine for very cheap and have chilled it in our baby fridge and are enjoying it as I type this.
        Fortunately since we are the first international students to arrive for the semester we got first pick at all of the household items that previous international students left behind. Out of this we got 3 sauce pans, 2 skillets, and some cooking utensils. Also we got to meet the co-ordinator of the international students and she seems like she is very willing to help us with any issues we may have. So we look forward to having her assistance as Jess begins the process of picking her courses.
       Finally, we got to eat at a little snack shack just a few minutes away from us. I must say that it was delicious and pretty cheap as well. We got two HUGE chicken Kebabs with fries and drinks for only 15 euros. It was great and I plan to go back at some time. There is another snack bar across the street from it that offers the same amount of food for the same price so we at least have several cheap options near by. So thats what has been going on. I think tomorrow I will make a much more focused post about our first experience with the bus system. Until then safe travels!
