but me, i just bear up to my bewildered best, and some folks even see the bear in me

OUI OUI, PARIS!

bonjour tous! i'm about finished with my solitary stint in the city of lights. i wanted to have a picture to post, but my camera is not playing nice with my computer, so that will have to wait. this isn't going to be a very long post, either - i'll write more later for those of you who care to read.

Paris is.... cool chic impressive old overwhelming stressful beautiful friendly complex. i do totally know now that if there is only one other person in the room you are walking into, you have to say "bonjour." its polite. and then you say "bonjour" or "au revoir" again when you leave. which is nice. and the city is very very safe, there are little to no homeless people or beggers, so i never feel afraid or creeped out. actually, the part of town where my hotel is probably the worst area i've been in so far.

and i dont think the city smells. yes, occassionaly if you go past a dog park then it stinks to high heaven. but as a whole, its an impressively clean city.

ok. i will hopefully post something much longer and more illustrated within the next couple of days. salut.
