A city, a street piano and Bartolo ... Paris Je suis déjà à Paris. Has cost, but I am. After a tortuous journey, I am. And the city of light is not what they paint. At the moment, for me, are just endless streets, a woman who looks at you edge up and down to see if you rent the apartment and a wonderful, at the same heat-nutella crêpe. Alejandro is a gastronomic guide to power.
Nevertheless, the kinds of promises. And is that Whitey was right: this city is made for me. Street cafes, boulevards that invite long walks, cozy bookstores everywhere ... The dream of any self-respecting bohemian.
the moment we are staying at the Hotel des Allies, in the rue Barthollet, very close to the Pantheon of Illustrious Men and the heart of the Latin Quarter, but despite that at first seem like a great place, appearances are deceiving. The hostel, and actually our room every night
surprise with a very pleasant smell of ammonia, or other substance that I dare not guess, that hardly allows us to sleep, mission, on the other hand, it seems the less difficult because of our wonderful neighbors and bath-room. A French family-friendly delights us every night with a wide range of nagging, little music video game and various noises, very nice of them. Added to this is that the three horsemen of the apocalypse share a very spacious cabin of 10 m2, where no room for luggage. Let alone the piano.
Ay! The piano! What joys and what is giving me trouble! After the ordeal to take as hand luggage !!!!! on the plane, now watches me day and night, watching, remembering always that very soon, five months, I will have to lead to Madrid. And, as I said Mrs IBERIA, "how hard it is to be a pianist!". Thank you very much, Amaro, for your advice on dealing with our beloved airline.
But everything seems to be fixing. This afternoon, in fact, less than two hours finally find floor. At the foot of the Louvre. In the Rue des Pyramides. And finally leave the hostel. You may, however, miss the neighborhood of the hostel, especially the Chinese down giving us rat meat for beef-swear that, whatever it was, it was not beef, and the League for the Defence of the law s of Animals.
quite possibly take me to update it, until I definitely agree, I have no regular access to internet. Only in Sciences Po. So I'll go at my own pace, you know, easy.
best for now: These gentlemen, gentlemen did not, men with a capital "over fifty that, far from the stereotypes that paint the Parisian unpleasant people, if you are lost on the Boulevard Saint-Germain and I come ask "Est-ce que je peux vous aider?". And with an enviable patience, education tact and try to help you as best they can. Thank God there are still people like that. And the best, our friend the coffee, rue de Claude Bernard. Vive la France!
Incidentally, since I've noticed that limping a little ...;)
