Paris in Squares

I was having a hard time coming up with text for my next blog, so instead I decided to show you some images of my new home.


The view from my bedroom window, sunset.




One side of my triangular room.




A market near my apartment, open Tuesday and Friday mornings.




An accordion shop near my school.




Cemitiere du Montparnasse, also near my school.




One of my school buildings and the courtyard where I often spend my free time.




The new and popular bicycle renting service in Paris, Vélib.




A generic Metro picture, which happens to be the one that takes me home from school.





La Notre Dame de Paris.




The other side of the Notre Dame, with flowers.




Pigeons and the Centre Pompidou, Paris' Modern and Contemporary art museum.




A funk brass band performing in front of the Centre Pompidou.



Same band, called Beat 'n Blow.




Note how the singers use megaphones to amplify their voices.




The remains of a fire in a pile on the sidewalk. In the upper left corner lies a pack of cigarettes with the warning, "Smoking Kills."





A costume and puppet shop prepares for Halloween, a holiday not yet commonly celebrated in France.




Everything you might need to start a clowning act.






I hope you enjoyed this brief tour of the city, and also a timeline of some things I did today. More next time!

Love,
Rebecca
