Photos from Paris! Part One.

Paul and I  stayed for three weeks in a tiny studio apartment in Belleville, a homey neighborhood populated largely by non-Europeans. On every block was a Chinese grocery, a Kosher butcher, and an Arabic bookstore-- each one frequented by local regulars who all seemed to know each other.


We kept seeing tile Space Invaders around the city. This is the corner opposite our building.



The stairs to our apartment!



From the patisserie around the corner-- a pistachio custard and a fruit tart. I visited there every morning to buy a baguette and some croissants for breakfast.



The western view from our little living room. It rained a lot while we were there, but on this early evening we got a treat!

Man, I would LOVE to visit Paris sometime. Most of what I know about the place is what I've seen on tv and in movies though, so I'd probably be disappointed that aliens aren't breaking into the Louvre to steal the Mona Lisa, only to find that a bizzare Catholic sect has beaten them to it. Meanwhile Harrison Ford is clambering across rooftops and people are breaking into song and Gene Kelly is dancing by...

Sorry, got caught up in a tangent there. It looks like you had a great time.
