Hey kids!
How's life?
I'm now into week for of Sally's fantabulous three month oddysey in Paris. wooooo
Let's see.... Last weekend, the coldest weekend ever (and i forgot to take my mittens out with me!) i decided that i should go for a longer aimless wander around Paris. It's just too huuuge and spaced out to really see much at all.
I stumbled upon the Louvre, but didn't go in because i thought that 8.50 euros was a little too much for me to walk around (i imagine, quite quickly) and look at things i honestly, deep down, really don't care about.
I managed also, to order a coffee.... it took me 10 minutes and i think they weren't too happy about my lack of knowledge of the french language (I could ask them very easily what they were going to do on the weekend!!!) and hence, gave me the crappiest coffee i had every tasted.
Anyway.... I saw a few of the other places that you go to Paris to see, Notre Dame, the massive queue outside the Galeries nationales du Grand Palais, various massive churches and yes... i actually paid and went in somewhere.... although i could read a word of it... the Palais de la Decouverte (a science museum) was quite interesting... and no queues! I also bought a snow globe.
Now lets see... in the weeks to come, i will be visiting Amsterdam for a weekend, possibly doing a day trip to Brussels and another weekend in the exciting place that is Preston.
But in the meanwhile i will be living in my new place of abode. (The two left windows in the roof of the second picture to the left). A few minutes from Paris, my bottom! Although I can see the eiffel tower (but only until the leaves on 1 particular tree grow back).
It is also near the biggest supermarket i have seen ever! It has 85 checkouts and the staff are on roller skates. It was also, the most cheese I have seen in my life! SO i bought some. mmmmm.It also seems to be in the middle of a large number of cabbage farms... all of which smelt of rotting cabbage.
Anyway... my new address is: Apt. 57, Atravi, Chemin de le Borde, Montesson, 78360, France. and my phone number is: +33 (0) 130862357
SO CALL ME AND POST ME THINGS!
That is all.
