Rue Hénard

Bonjour!

I have arrived at my new home! I took a shuttlebus from the airport to my apartment in the 12th arrondisement and Mme C came downstairs to meet me. She helped me bring my luggage up to her floor via elevator and introduced me to her lovely apartment.

It is on the top floor of a somewhat modern building, I can not tell the exact date of when it might have been built. Her apartment is a two-story flat, the kitchen, living room, and her bedroom on the first floor and my and her son's rooms, along with a second bathroom on the second floor. The kitchen opens out to a wrap-around balcony that connects to the living room and to her bedroom, and my bedroom does the same.

I have a lovely room with a large south-facing window. Among the furnishings in my room are a bed, desk, linen wardrobe, and small bedside table. I have all of my things put away in their new homes and my huge suitcase has gone to live in the basement storage area.

I just finished eating lunch with Mme C; we ate salad with seitan and pineapple and some white radishes. I also ate some cheese and bread, while she ate some shellfish. She has a wheat and dairy allergy, and I don't eat meat, so we're going to have to agree on salad for a while.

I'm going to take a nap for a while, then maybe later this evening I will go explore my neighborhood.

Exciting! Paris!
