Life In Paris

Gambar
We've been living in Paris full time for three months now (after my 1.5 years of commuting from Normandy), and I have a few observations to make: There is a lot of dust.  And I mean a lot! I thought that living in the country, surrounded by vineyards and la garrigue would mean serious dust, but the Minervois has absolutely nothing on Paris. Our vacuum cleaner is getting quite the work out. Uber rocks. That's all I need to say about that. Watching the Eiffel Tower sparkle every night makes me happy.  Yes, we have that cliché "American in Paris" view. Which, as it turns out, is fabulous. I never thought I could be such a sap. Pedestrians are cocky. They walk right up to you and expect you to move out of  their  way. They step out in the middle of the street in front of oncoming traffic. They ignore the "Don't Walk" sign. They're lucky they're still alive. Access to such an abundance of ingredients from around the world amazes me. Spend 12+ years
