Sunday Walk: New Neighborhood

We took a long walk around what will be our new neighborhood today. Unfortunately, the batteries on our camera were dead so I can't really share my excitement with you via photos. But you guys, it's going to be great. The new place is seriously right by the beach and once the snow/ice clears it'll take like five minutes to get there. It seemed like such a peaceful, calm area which is just going to be lovely. There are jogging trails and bike trails by the beach and what looked like a restaurant too. If we walk west along the beach for about 20 minutes we'll hit the popular Västra Hamnen* which is really upscale and a bit too pricey, but still... it's exciting. Also, we have a recycling center near us. Maybe it's weird to be excited about that but I think it's neat.
Like the food nerds we are we explored the two groceries near our new place. The first is my favorite grocery store: ICA. It's as close to a Central Market as Malmö is going to to get. Our new ICA is HUGE. I think it used to be three different stores and now is just one big, maze-like grocery store. We also have a COOP near us and it's surprisingly nice for a COOP.
Moving day is just 12 days away. We might be able to move in a bit sooner which would be ideal but either way, it's good. We've already packed up a lot of stuff so it should be a smooth move.
I'm realizing that this is probably boring to read but I'm excited.

*That's the Google translated wikipedia article. It's not very well translated. But the photos are nice.
