My first full day in Paris is complete.
My flight here was one of the best flights I’ve experienced yet in all my traveling. I wasnt anxious or tired or stressed. Everything went smoothly and I slept well. I even sat next to a nice old man who was a camera buff back in the 70’s. We had loads to talk about.
After getting situated on my room I went for a little walk and grabbed some lunch at Le Goncourt Bistro just around the corner from my flat. After a few funny language barrier moments with the waitress I ordered Beef Bourguignon and a cafe creme. Both made me a happy happy gal.
I definitely feel lost without my phone here. I have to make sure I know where I am headed and have a good map before I head out. I went on a long walk to a concert venue to purchase a ticket to a show on Friday.. I went the long way by accident. Turned out to be a lovely walk along the Pere Lechaise. The venue was closed and the tickets are sold out anyway. BUMMER.
After all that I was ready for a nap. I woke up when one of my flat mates came home. Edward made me tea and gave me chocolate and proceeded to be adorable and charming. Although he didn’t have to do much. I would have thought that anyway. haha…
I’m actually here. I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face all day.
I really really wish I knew the language better. I feel like the only word I’m capable of is “merci”.
But I have to remind myself, i’ve only been here a whole 12 hours now.
