We are in love. What amazing character and culture. The only bad thing is we don't have internet access at our apartment. We're living in a cute little studio apartment in the 13th...has everything we need, except internet. Fortunately, the city of Paris has set up free wi-fi in all its parks. So, I just wanted to quickly update the blog a little just so you all know we're alive :)
We've been in Paris since Friday...stayed at a hostel that night, then moved over to the apartment that we're in now on Saturday. We were originally going to leave tomorrow for Normandy but we're loving it here so much that we decided to stay another night. The apartment we're staying at is so cozy and quiet--which is probably a big reason why we're loving Paris so much. Every place we've stayed at since Prague has been so noisy, we've had to wear our ear plugs every night. And even then you can still hear all the noise. This apartment is such a sanctuary for us--we can cook for ourselves, sleep in, do what we want according to our own schedule. Much needed since we've been so exhausted with all the traveling we've been doing, living out of our backpacks.
We paid out our noses for the apartment but we've been able to save quite a bit on meals. Paris has open air markets throughout the week, selling fresh produce, meats, seafood, clothing...you name it...for good prices. You can even buy bottles of wine here for 2 Euro.
Anyhow, we've got to get going to Versailles now. I'll probably do a better update once we get to Normandy on Thursday.
À bientôt!
