Still a tourist

Bonjour!

I am finally getting settled in to my apartment (well not really, I will be moving in 3 days) and becoming more familiar with my surroundings. Candida and I have already made friends with the man at the little marche as well as the man at the cafe on the corner! Tonight we went to get a cafe creme and he knew our order before we even had a chance to speak. That made me pretty excited. I must say though, that my lack of french is becoming ever apparent. Today we went to BHV (it's a huge shopping center) and this man very politely tried to strike a conversation...it was a bit frustrating because I could understand (a bit of) what he was saying but I did not know how to respond. Argg! This will come with time, i know, I've only been here for 5 days!

Earlier today I went with my abroadco group on a Seine River tour, it was such a beautiful and sunny day in Paris! Here is a little snippet of what we saw:


Notre Dame


Sunny Eiffel Tower

Well you get the idea...after we finished the cruise we walked around the latin quarter as well as the marais.


Down one of the many little streets in the latin quarter, full of cheap food and junk
