I have arrived safely in Paris, and I think I'm finally getting adjusted
to the time difference! Going to bed at a normal hour and waking up
before noon are still a bit difficult, but it's getting easier all the
time. I'm living in the 10th arrondissment with a lady and her grown
son (he's 25). I haven't seen much of the son, Samuel, but he seems
nice, as does the lady of the house, Natalie. She and I have chatted a
bit (in French, of course), and I watched part of a movie with her, but I
don't know her very well yet. I'm sure I'll get to know her better
after I've been living here a bit longer (after all, it's only been four
days so far). The apartment where we live is quite convenient to three
Metro stations; Jacques Bonsergent is the closest, although Chateau
d'Eau and République aren't far from here, either. Natalie says it's a safe neighborhood, and it seems nice to me. I've walked around it a bit and found some not-too-expensive grocery stores, as well as the local post office, and of course the local Metro stations! I think this will be a very nice place to live!
