"Home" for the next two years

After a quick trip home for a week to take care of some business, see family and friends, and pack a few boxes, we headed back to Paris to begin our next chapter. We arrived to a rainy morning, but it cleared up so we could walk the half mile after the airport bus took us to a train station near our new apartment. I couldn't believe we couldn't find a cab to take us, but I guess the exercise was a good thing! The sun was out, but it was nippy, probably in the 40s.

We are in a newer apartment building this time, an odd sight among the older traditional buildings surrounding it. Inside, though, it is quite classic French looking. We chose this one over 10 others we looked at because it had more space, was high on the 8th floor so it let in more light, and it even has a view of the Eiffel tower (if you look down the street!). We have two bedrooms and the extra one will work nicely as an office when not being used by any of you who would love to come and visit!! (HINT!)

I will attempt to post a video later when I have more power, but we are still in need of some adapters which haven't arrived yet! For now, here are a few pictures...... Will post more later when I have "power"!



First pic is of the living room; next one of kitchen overlooking dome of the Invalides where Napoleon is buried, and last is view of Eiffel Tower from living/dining area
