Paris

It's really amazing to me that you can be in Germany one minute, and in France the next. Europe is quite cool that way... so many differnt languages, cultures, and landscapes in such close proximity.

We left Bonn yesterday around 3 pm and arrived in Gare du Nord at 7 pm. We took one of those fast trains and were here in no time. My friend Andrea came to pick us up at the train station and brought us back to her apartment in Montparnasse, where we quickly changed into some clean clothes and headed out to La Lubie, a restaurant Daniel and I discovered last year when we were here. After a delicious dinner, some excellent wine, and familiar company, we headed back home for a good night's sleep.

Daniel left this morning for Poquorelle Island, off the Southern coast of France. He'll be there a week at a math conference, while I stay in Paris with Andrea. Lots of sight seeing and girl talk ahead for me this week.

A demain...

Hi i agree with our points about the multilanguage and culture dimensions in europe; Paris is a wonderful place. Last time i was there i stayed in a Paris apartment rental in the 14eme, Montparnasse. The apt is managed privately by his owner. the apartment is really cosy, very clean and the location is excellent: 14th arronsisement in the chic left bank but a bit awary from the mad tourist crowd, still very easy to walk to some of the main sights and the area is superb, packed with street markets, resto and brasseries. I highly recommend
