Things are starting to fall into place. On Saturday, I became the proud owner of my first motorized vehicle – a scooter. I bought it from a friend of a friend who has left the island. It's 5 years old, and 150cc's. So now I have to get it insured and then get my scooter driving license. Getting your license also means that I have to get a note from a doctor... even though I just had to get one from a Canadian doctor for my work visa. Geez! No photo of the bike as of yet, maybe I'll post one in the next couple of days.

Tomorrow I sign a lease on an apartment. I'm moving in with 2 people who are also from Toronto and new here. On Friday I went to see it and think it will be really good. It's brand new (still being built), quite large, and a good layout so that 3 people won't be on top of each other. There's even a bar area! Rent is reasonable for Bermuda. It's more then double what I was paying in Toronto, but that's just how it is here. Oh, and it's fully air conditioned! 

As I was out Wednesday to Friday evenings, I had a fairly quiet weekend with lots of 'me' time. Mostly, I rode around on the rental scooter and headed to the beach a couple of times to try and catch some sun (with lots of sun screen, of course).
