My life in Paris so far

I know it sounds like I'll never be back, but I will, probably, I think.

Just kidding. I'll be back stateside on the 20th of August.

My initial impressions:
1. The city is beautiful. I'm proud to say that with the help of a couple of friends who've been here before, I've been able to get around.

2. It's made for walking. There are plenty of tiny streets that you can get pleasantly lost in but the circular plan of the city and the abundance of Metro stations, make it easy to find your way. My first day I got intentionally lost in l'Opera district while looking for the Apple store. I was mooching the WiFi connection. It was swarming with tourists taking advantage of the sales before August vacations. Between the architecture and the window displays I barely noticed the time and easily walked for an hour before catching the Metro. 3. The people are funny. I mean funny in terms of having a sense of humor. Be prepared to laugh at yourself and others.
