The World is my Playground

Wherever my feet take me

Paris when I wake up

with 2 comments

I am finally settled. Well, not completely, but in a way, it’s nice to see the Eiffel Tower from my room at night. However, I miss the long walks in Montmartre and the never ending stairs. Maybe, just maybe, I will move back there just to torture myself again. As long as I have the view of all Paris, it’s worth carrying all the heavy stuff in the subway. During rush hour.

This is the view I had before when I lived with Jela – just beside the steps going up the Sacre Coeur. At night, it’s like all the jewels of Paris are scattered in random clumps across the roofs of the apartment buildings, leaving me breathless.

And now, I have the view of new buildings and the Eiffel Tower (from top to 2nd floor). I cannot see it in the morning because it’s too foggy, but at night, it is awesome. I will add more photos taken during the night another time.

It’s pretty cool to have a balcony and my own sanctuary. But I miss having someone to talk with at night before sleeping.

I find myself cleaning and sweeping the floors a number of times during the day. My mother and Jela would be so proud of me.
