Things that are new to us . . .

We are finding things that are new to us all over the place here in France! Most of this we expected. Here are some things in our apartment that are new to us.

Oh and just a disclaimer . . . sorry if I accidently make a spelling error on the blog. Blogger thinks I am writing in French . . . so spell check doesn't exactly work! We need to figure that out.

Heaters. These are under every window. Hot water runs through them. Seems to work well!

Our oven and stove (under the cover) is much smaller than US stoves.

Our washing machine.

No dryer, so we hang everything.

Our blinds are outside the window and open up with a crank.

When we are done with the crank it lays down by the window.

Clocks look a little different in the afternoon/evening.

At least in our apartment, pushing the light switch down turns it on.

Our bedroom doors lock with a key.

And this is what plugs look like.
