It’s been a couple days, I think, since I posted, and I’ve probably forgot some of what we’ve done, but I’ll try and give you your money’s worth. Of course you’ve paid nothing… Sunday the rain finally stopped and blinding sun appeared. But it was damn cold and windy. Job one was to recharge our
We didn’t get out of the apartment much today, but things got done. It’s been a generally rainy day, and will continue on into the evening. We did get out in the morning to do a Monoprix run for basic staples. Along the way we stumbled on one of the weekly street markets. We come
Tom has an Amazon addiction. I thought he might be able to kick the habit when we left the states, BUT NOoooo, it didn’t take him long to discover Amazon.fr. I find it amusing the way he is running around our little slice of Paris looking for the perfect Amazon locker that fits his personality.
We didn’t even get dressed today until 11 AM. What the hell have we become? To be fair, most of the morning was spent online cruising our usual Internet spots (and it was raining a bit), but also starting to fill out all the personal and financial information our relocation service needs to find us
So Tom, as usual, has beat me to commentary on the latest media coverage of Paris burning, NOT! As the haze of jet lag starts to fade, we are exploring our neighborhood for all the spots sure to become our new, usual haunts for food, because, repeat after me, IT IS ALWAYS ABOUT THE FOOD!
Jeri’s title. Don’t blame me. Explanation to follow. We seem to be slowly drifting to a state of normalcy. I say “seem” because I know we did a crap ton of stuff yesterday but I’ll be damned if I can remember just what it was. I know it involved doing shopping junk, eating a lot
So…..We’ve been really busy transitioning from airport to hotel to finally our first apartment. We haven’t really had time to peruse the news. But when we did, the US news feeds were all going on about this “Paris” place. It’s apparently a lawless dystopia with riots everywhere. Tear gas, flash bang grenades and stores looted
Damn you Elon! You’re such an asshat, but you (or at least your people) create neat stuff. Our plane has Starlink. Damnnnnn… High speed Internet before we even pushed back from the gate. And it seems to be free on Air France, or at least it is in Business. We’re going to France, and I’m
We have leapt off the cliff and are now in free fall to our final destination. Whether it’s a cushiony, soft landing or a rock face remains to be seen. This is being written from the decadence of the LAX Air France lounge where we have been happily stuffing our faces. Absent Paris, I could
…It’s more like you will be spending a fortune (Thus spaketh the fortune cookie I got at lunch yesterday). Well it looks like we’re all set, I think. Anyway we’re running out of time to rectify anything we may have missed. So maybe, if we haven’t thought of it by now, we don’t need it. That’s good because there isn’t
