Oui! Je Suis Ici!

Yes! I am here! This is the view from right around the corner of my hostel. (Yes, Wade, I climbed it again, the stairs to Sacre Cœur.) Right at this moment I am sitting on the stairs of Sacre Cœur listening to street performers and deciding where dinner will be.

This morning was uneventful. The flight was fine, I got some knitting done. I got the RER fine into the Gare du Nord and the Metro to where I was staying. I'm in Montmartre but I think I'll go to St. Germain for dinner.
I was unable to find a locker at the Gare du Nord, but the hostel seems quite safe. I have one roommate, a girl from Australia who seems quite friendly. It was a pain to lug the suitcases through the Metro, lucky for me a kind gentleman grabbed the big one and got me on the train just fine. He also carried it up and out of the Metro where I thanked him profusely and told him my friends were waiting and I didn't have a number in Paris. Mes amis m'attendent! The gentlemen here ask for attention but are not persistent. Thank god.

So now I sit and my stomach rumbles. To St. Germain!
