We got the apartment in Roma! We’ll be in the new place as of June 1.
I’m really excited. When we went back to sign the papers, the apartment looked even better than I remembered. The bedroom I’m using as an office actually gets a lot of sun, and the walk-in closet is muy amplio. We’ll have a pantry and a dishwasher — I thought the latter was an urban legend in Mexico City, but it isn’t! — and two very nice tiled bathrooms. And we will not be on the first floor anymore, living next door to an office, where the owner just happens to take on Sunday-morning construction projects at 8:30 a.m. (This happened to us yesterday, the morning after we went out partying with friends and got home at 3:30. A power drill grinding into the wall when you’ve had just a wee bit too much tequila… not. fun. at all.)
Wish I would’ve thought to take a picture of the building, but I’ll post some later. In the meantime, gotta start hacking away at my moving task list, which is now about 100 items long.

Congratulations!
Colonia Roma, eh? That’s great, we enjoy staying in the hotels and roaming the streets in that fair colonia.
We’ll be there for a couple of days next month, in fact.
Saludos,

Congratulations! Our son and his family are just starting renovations on a Col. Roma house on Chiapas, so maybe we’ll see you in the ‘hood sometime!
Have fun!

Congrats, I hope we find something soon. We actually found a book today that had a bunch of listings in our price range. We didn’t even know this kind of book was in our town. Whoo hoo for no more looking and dealing.
