Merci!

Many thanks to everyone who helped me along this apartment search from the shady to the trés chichi (chic chére), from the ile de la cité to the Blois de Vincennes, from the stinky studio to the deluxe duplex, thank you.

And special thanks to everyone who patiently gave me directions and forgave me for being late, as well as showing me around their abodes: Noelle, Aurelie, Manon, Marite, Courtney, Florence, Mathilde, Christine, Kathie, Pascale, Francesca, Ivan, Barbara, the other Barbara (and Barbara's parents), Tom, Catherine, Clementine, Laure, Adrian, Batguzere, Priscila, Brian (and Devon), Anne-Sophie, Edna, Roxanne, Cesare, Riazatti, and of course Jocelyne.

Also deepest gratitude to those who have been amazing supports during this time, such as my August roomie who needed to calm me down at least twice a day as well as listen to my endless listing of pros and cons for each place, to all in the program who lovingly left me food as they departed Paris, and my amazing and patient parents!

My current living situation is a little pricey, but a great area. I am subletting a single room in a typical parisian apartment from a director. Her place has high ceilings, on the 2nd floor, no elevator, beautiful dining room/living room area, OLD wood floors, maid (who is actually cleaning right now, little awkward), finicky wireless, and plenty of light, as well as dust from the construction a few buildings down. It should be interesting trying to figure out how exactly I want to use the space, decorate it, utilize the storage to the fullest potential, but I am excited for the beginning of the next adventure, and best news of all, you can now send care packages!

I will be posting lots of pics now! First two are the room itself and the last is the dining area.

Hugs and love from the no longer homeless in Paris!
