Three hours ago I was Skyping with C. and saying that I had done a few things today but nothing terribly exciting -- then it started. At first it was a series of loud bangs like someone was throwing heavy objects into a dumpster from the roof, ... Read more >

Another gloomy day, grey skies and rain -- realizing now that I had been spoiled the first few days I was here in Paris with such nice weather. Nonetheless, I had given myself an important quest to accomplish or at least set into motion today. ... Read more >

After having wonderful weather the fitrst part of the week, the last couple of days have been a little blah -- hazy with a little overcast and looking like it could start raining any minute -- tomorrow and Sunday rain is actually predicted -- they sing ... Read more >

Hazy, somewhat overcast today so slept in a little and decided to give my legs a rest and take in a museum instead of traipsing aimlessly around the city -- of course, you can imagine how well that plan went. Back onto the Metro (slowly realizing ... Read more >
