Well, my internet hasn't been as good as I'd like, so I've only now gotten to getting this blog online. So far, Paris has been everything it could be. Expensive yes, but that's something I've come to terms with since living in D.C.
Friday afternoon, I took a boat ride along the seine along with the other AU students. And go some wonderful views of Le Tour Eiffel, Le Louvre, and many of the bridges of Paris (trust me, there are plenty). I've been taking many pictures which I plan to get up soon on the blog.
I am staying on rue Etienne Marcel, which is on line 4 of the Paris Metro. It's very convenient.
So, I thought I would wrap up this brief post with a list of all the things I've learned since being here in Paris.
1. Always say Bonjour/Bonsoir and Merci/Au Revoir. It will get you anything you need no matter how bad your French is.
2. Toilets don't require sinks.
3. Each street corner seems to have a brasserie, a pharmacy, and a boulangerie.
4.Une cafe is really just a little espresso. Commandez vous une cafe creme.
5. You know you're in a good place when wine costs the same or less than soda.
Ok well that's all for now, I will post some photos and a more comprehensive report in a few days!

Well, I'm glad you have at least the wine figured out. :)
