Ho-hum. Another day in Paris. This was my day of wandering aimlessly. Well, within certain parameters, of course. I wandered through Le Marais, a part of town with many historical (meaning huge, gigantic) buildings and lots of small side streets made of cobblestone lined with small shops, boutiques and cafes. There are also stores for regular living. There were no clouds today and it was warm. The sun light on the white buildings...well, you can see for yourself. It kills me.
I turned a corner and found myself on a street filled with Jewish people (I could tell by the skull caps on many of the men) and by the stores and restaurants which had Hebrew and French writing in the windows and on signs. There were several falafel places and one in particular had a line way down the block. I remembered it was recommended in a magazine I read.
When I got home, I slept, then wrote for a while. Thoughts of leaving here are beginning to seep in. Mostly logistical...notifying the shuttle, how to use up my food (and euros). The other kind of thoughts...about being here in Paris...PARIS!! are a little harder to deal with. I suppose it will always be here to return to or dream about. Hey, I still have two more nights after tonight....
