nice things about paris thus far	[Apr. 27th, 2008\|06:14 pm]
1. the bikes. there is an automated bike rental service. you pick up a bike, ride along, and deposit it at your destination. the terminals are spread across the city with one about every five blocks. the bikes are three-gear, have pedal-powered lights, and a front carriage. very useful! i have much enjoyed roaming around the city. 2. the weather. dry, between 60 and 80. 3. the details. walking through the jardin du luxembourg in the morning sipping on an espresso. night-time drink at a sidewalk bar on rue de rennes, with the cool evening air, passersby, and ample reading light. the font on the street signs. the view from the pont des arts. returning footballs that come my way. crepes with nutella.

You should visit Les Invalides. Old military hospital/tomb of Napoleon. It is supposed to be spectacular.

You'll have to let me know how it was. I'll be back in the Bay sometime around Memorial Day Weekend - we can grab a beer or something.

Yeah that sounds good to me. I'd love to hear about Napolean from an expert. He's kind of a big deal here.

i thought you've been stealing my music, since they are all sitting in the open, in the living room

I am staying at http://www.hoteldanemark.com/. They are very nice and the room is quite good given the proximity to all the major sites. Room is big, staff are friendly and helpful. Im sure you could find a better deal if you look, though, but with the dollar what it is you need to be willing to shell it out.

Until Monday. Hopefully this will be enough time for me to reboot my brain. It really needs it; the operating system is quite archaic.
