Our trip was uneventful, long and exhausting, and I'm still too jetlagged and tired to be very coherent about how wonderful it is to be here.
This morning, the sun is shining on Notre Dame, it's a quiet Saturday morning, and everyone is out walking their dog. It's too bad we don't have a dog, or better yet, maybe we could rent Julie Delpy's cat for the duration.
Yesterday while we walked around the immediate neighborhood, finding a sim for Frank's phone and recharging mine, and locating all the necessaries, like cheese shops and boulangeries, I had a silly grin on my face the whole day, no doubt confirming the French impression of Americans as a little simple-minded.
I think the thought of having these three weeks right here to spend as I wish pleases me more than a million-dollar lottery ticket would!

Smile all you want! Parisians are proud of their city and love travelers who appreciate it as much as they do.
And what a view to look out upon over a cup of morning coffee. I can't wait to read a review of the rental.

How did the plan to learn French on the plane go?

Chris! I can't believe the view is EVEN BETTER than the pictures... I would be horribly jealous of you if it wasn't, uh, you. Seriously.
I just love that you have three weeks there... eat a hunk o' cheese and drink a bottle of good Burgundy for me, OK?

That is a gorgeous view. No wonder you choose to stay the whole three weeks in Paris.
