Our First Week

Jessica’s sister Erica has joined us and shares our apartment.

The three of us have enrolled for language study at the Alliance Française. Generally, the French people have been remarkably tolerant and helpful as we attempt to converse.

Being foodies all, we have had a great time exploring the boulangeries, fromageries, and the wines.

 Our apartment is delightful with an open “cuisine américaine” (American kitchen).

The public transportation system in Paris is one of the best in the world. We are learning our way around the metro, the buses, and the RER (regional trains).

The museums are free the first Sunday of the month, but be prepared for the lines. We went to the Musée d’Orsay 1^st Sunday of September.
