I was sitting on a bench watching the traffic at the arc de triomphe, when one of those double decker tour \buses goes by and people are trying to take pictures from the moving bus, and I thought, that's dumb, those photos won't even turn out, plus there's a million pictures of it already, good pictures by real photographers, which is when I decided to only take pictures of unique things, like tiny parks with giant fountains.
As of now I have seen, in addition to the arc de triomphe, the eiffel tower, sacre coeur, les jardinieres tuileries, notre dame, the sorbonne, moulin rouge, palais de justice, and on and on and on.
Today i went to the Montmartre cemetery (in the rain, how fitting), which was interesting but not as cool as the Mont Royal cemetery. Then after some wandering I made my way to parc monceau, where there were lots of people jogging and very few tourists. Then I ventured as far as the park on the edge of the city, I don't know what it's called, but it was so lovely, with forested areas and bike paths.
Yesterday I was in the Latin Quarter and a Turkish guy asked if I would marry him and take him back to the States. Boo. But then I found City Lights Paris, which has a reading room upstairs with a piano and I think I will go back there to hang out for a bit longer next week.
I'm doing an excellent job conserving my money thanks to the experience I gained in SF, and by the time I move to my hotel from the hostel, I should be able to do some serious French eating., but for now it is baguette avec fromage, et abricots.
My computer is totally messed up and won't upload any pictures, so that will just have to wait.
