In Paris, there is this great walk where you start at the Arc de Triomphe (something to do with Napolean) and then walk down Champs Elysees (the famous street I had a job on for 1 day and then got fired) walk to Place de La Concorde (once again, something to do with Napolean) and walk thru a really nice park, walk to the Lourvre, (this is not the time to go in the louvre because it is SO overwhelming) then walk to Notre Dame (famous church) and finish off by walking about the Latin Quarter (which is a really nice Quarter in Paris. Paris is divided up into quarters and this is the best one, in my opinion.) The Latin quarter is where they have all the crepes so you can see why I would like it so much. If you start this walk at about 3pm you will end up at the Louvre just as dark and its SO pretty. You get to see the sun set behind the Eiffel Tower as well. There is one part of the walk, at Place de la Concorde, where you can see the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, Champs Elysees and the Louvre. It is too cool.
So Jordanna, Dom and I did that walk yesterday and it was fantastic. We ended up getting paninis and nutella crepes in the Latin Quarter and sitting outside (yes, outside- we have no snow here) and people watched.
We played Oh Shit yesterday, which I think Ive already explained that it is like Euchre and Lost Air. It was great. It gets very intense in the apartment when the 5 of us play because everyone wants to win. Great Times.
We then went out for food and drinks with Laundry mat Jeff. We ended up going to a Hippopotamus (not the one I just quit) and it was really good. It was odd being a client at that restaurant because its obviously the same as the one I worked at. When I worked there, you had to say hello/good bye to every client you see no matter you were doing. It was actually really annoying and if I was the client, I wouldnt like it because you have to say hello/good bye to like 8 people before you actually sit down to eat or before you're out the door. But being a client at the restaurant is definitely better than working there.

Ohh, I love that walk! When we were in Paris in high school, we stayed in the Latin Quarter, and I agree, it's the best Quarter. So pretty, such awesome little restaurants and shops.
Glad to hear you're having fun! :)
once again mands shows who's boss!! good thing you have the finances to not work and live in Paris!! I bet not too many people could do the same thing!!!
who quits their job, makes it sound like a good idea- and then convinces everyone around them- that it was, obviously, the ONLY solution.... mands does!!
