Paris update: week 1 part 1

Okay so the Paris updates begin! I stumbled upon this parisien life, so here I go... it wont be easy at times I know, I have already attempted to try to find an apartment and the war goes on!

I am happy to share my adventure with you. Enjoy.
I arrived finally on Saturday April 16th. Lucky me, I had Judith a friend and colleague (ex colleague! :( ....) join me and help lug my wardrobe and shoes luggage. It would be her first Parisien experience, I was so excited to show her my favorites corners and cafes of this beautiful city (that I am yet to discover too!). So naturally we dropped our bags and head out for a few drinks at Le Sans Soucis where you can always find an interesting crew to chat with, great music and cruisy ambiance. We like it :)

 





















Thank you technology for allowing us to wip out the smart phone and document this fun!

The next few days were full of wandering, site seeing and viewing a couple of apartments (nothing special to report there, the hunt goes on). We bumped in to more colleagues, so ironic, 3 of us from the same office in the same city and visiting the same bakery at the same time! We ran into Steven and Rachel... litterally RAN into them!


Funny they are.



So Bonn wasnt so easy to let go after all, my colleagues were following me! Two of my favorites at least. I will truely miss our laughs on the daily, sing alongs, and all other banter.

The weather was stunning and we had a lovely walk pasted Notre Dame de Paris and on through the 5th to (my favorite) Jardin de Luxembourg for a picnic lunch. Its too bad we got kicked off the lawn... woops.



We went and visit the rooftop lookout at Printemps





Fun fun. Thank you Jude!!! xx
