Going to California VIII
Whew. Going to run out of Roman Numerals 🙂
Still looking for a place out here.
This Belmont place had an awesome, awesome view. You could stand at this window where the Acapella Cellini speakers are and look right to see South Bay and left to see the San Francisco downtown skyline – and everything in between.
This room was big enough, about 15 x 20 feet and even the dining room was big enough for the Audio Note E-size speakers [and with the same awesome view].
[You mean you don’t also put a system in your dining room if it is big enough? You are missing out! ;-)]
But it was really cold and windy here that day, which is not completely uncommon – which Neli hates – and it was a duplex [we suspected as much during the original drive-by, but it was not specified as such in their ad].
Sharing a wall – the listening room wall – with another home does not seem like it may work all of the time for the ultimate happiness of all concerned.
And there were other issues – basically coming down to us not feeling like we would like living here in the long run.
*sigh* onward we go….
Have the two of you fallen off the face of the earth? Has the house hunting turned up any real possibilities or has it caused you to re-evaluate the move to the Bay Area? I for one continue to feel that Santa Fe has its own unique charms and might not be such a bad place to live; however, I take your earlier point that in terms of making a living it may not be optimum. In any event, good luck.
We keep think we are about to ‘land somewhere’ but… not.
Thanks for the luck, we need it. 🙂 [Neli is starting to get a little stressed out. Me? I think we found some unexpectedly awesome places, but just haven’t managed to swing one just yet…]
