First day in Paris


The apartment is wonderful. Located in the 15th arrondisemont, there are many shops and restaurants close by.  There are also two metro stations.
It was an easy 10 minute walk from the apartment to the Eiffel tower. There is construction around and even on it but still it is very spectacular.
The weather is a bit sketchy -cool, partly cloudy with passing rain showers. But it has been warm enough for the trees to all be leafed out and these big azaelas to be flowering.
My friend Chris from New York arrived in the afternoon. we walked around the block to get pastries and a baguette at Kaysers, which according to the apartment owner is the most famous bakery in Paris. We then went to the cheese shop for fresh cheese. And finally to the grocery market for milk and cereal and such. Later in the evening we went to a dance performance. More on that later.
