Excitement, leave me alone

I do not look for adventure. But must deal with it when necessary. We were a bit late for the airport yesterday and to add to that Geoff was picked for a "special" scan. Flight was uneventful, got a cab at the airport and were dropped off at our address. Except it wasn't our address; Geoff had written it down wrong, we found out after a few trips up and down the street with our luggage. Fortunately we had the correct address elsewhere and were only a few blocks away. So got to te right place, opened the lockbox to get our red key only to find a lone green key there. Our landlord had stressed that we were only to use the assigned key or it would cause a lot of problems and expense, etc. But we used the apt belonging to the green key, we couldn't stay outside. We realized we did't have a phone number to call the landlord and of course did not have a phone. So I faceboked Tim to go check our email to find a phone number. While he was doing that we came across the number so Geoff went to the gas station down the street and contacted the landlord. She didn't know what happened to our key, but assured us that this suite is not rented for the weekend so not to worry about someone jumping into our bed with us. After all that went for a walk to find something to eat then home to bed. Slept in today, more walking, sat in the back yard with our books. It's nice to have a whole week and not feel that we are wasting time doing nothing. We are right by DuPaul univ campus so we were the oldest people out and about last night by decades. Weather is hot but it's so nice here, many trees. Tomorrow we will start being tourists.

Our place is in a brownstone building, a 2br apt with kitchen. We're on the top floor so lots of stairs. There's also a back yard we can sit in. It's old, has an exposed brick wall in the living room. Also air- conditioned. The kitchen and bathroom are updated. Finally heard from the landlord this morning that we will be staying in this apt for the week.
