WANDERING

1/14
Today we attempted to get a little oriented in the area around our apartment. We walked around the 6th arrondissement and I was happily oblivious to where we were. I blissfully wandered down streets without a care in the world for directions. This is the beauty of living in a foreign city---there is no rush on your time like when you are a 'tourist' in a city. No set itinerary, no tours or museums that you absolutely must hit. Just a loosely guided plan and hours to explore.

We made a visit to Le Bon Marche---a famous Parisian department store.



After dinner we decided to head back out and make a trip down to the Seine to see the river and Louvre at night. Quite a sight! And off in the distance was none other than the sparkling Eiffel Tower.
