Two planes, four different delays, two trains, one taxi, three flights of stairs, and I'm in Paris. My apartment is beautiful and remarkably spacious given it's size. The area (the 20th arrondissement, near the Cimetière du Père-Lachaise) is vibrant and just gritty enough to make it real. It's raining, but tomorrow the weather's supposed to be nice so hopefully I can visit the beautiful gardens (the Parc des Buttes Chaumont) I drove past in the taxi on my way here.
Today I have plans to -
- Finish unpacking (almost there, it's suprising how much quicker it is to unpack than to pack)
- Meet David, who's staying with me for a while since he's in Paris too.
- Stock up on groceries (my breakfast consisted of coffee and aeroplane oreos) the apartment was stocked with tea and coffee supplies, but other than that just a beer, a packet of pasta, and a jar of mustard)
- Explore the area
- And most importantly, eat. There's a nice crêperie reccomended by food writer David Lebovitz that sounds lovely and would make for a great first proper meal in Paris. But it all depends on what David fancies too!
