Je suis en Paris!

Day 6/90

I arrived in Paris today, I have yet to walk around, but there is a certian air to the city that I am loving. In fact, I believe I am digging the whole European mentality, everyone I've met thus far has been extremely nice and has welcomed me with open arms.

Case in point, my new friend Fabrice, whom I am staying with at his very "cozy" flat in the Marais (3rd arrondissment) of Paris. Very cool place, basically one of the oldest parts of the city, only a ten minute walk to Nortre Dame et la Rue de Rivoli, which will lead me past the Louvre and down Les Champs-Elysées towards L'Arc du Triomphe.

Now, for all those wondering Who the hell is Fabrice and where on earth did our precious little Katie meet him? (Granny and Mom) it is all part the The Couch Surfing Project. To the skeptics out there who have horrid thoughts racing through thier minds this very moment, I'm using my head and I feel safe. If nothing else, it provides a great way to meet people and get advice about the places I'm visiting. Besides, I have a budget, and €25 a night in Paris didn't fit into it.

Anyways, the athlete inside of me is restless, so I am going to go for a run down by le Seine. A bientot!
