Thursday 23-Oct 2008 Paris
Weather Sunny but cool
Euro still at $1.2588

Well this is it kids...Today I spent the day with my landlord.
If you need to rent a place in Paris I would highly recommend Jean-Pierre Garcia. The apartment is in a great location, the price is pas cher (700 euros a week!)
And the place is very comfortable for 2 adults, maybe even 3.

Today Jean Pierre and I had the electric shutters installed in the bed room and then had a very late lunch near his office at Port Royal Metro stop.
He is a medical doctor turned eastern medicine specialist who turned me on to a few new homeopathic ideas, of course followed by copious amounts of wine!
I had dinner finally in my own neighborhood at the Cafe de le Place in Montparnasse.
A bit over priced and it took FOREVER!
But it was fun there were two young girls from Pontoise next to me who had just visited Argentina so we had a lot to talk about.
The dinner was 40 euros for a kir, 1/2 bottle of Cahors, salad with Bleu d'Auvergne toast, Bœuf bourguignon. I ran out and went to the take away window "emporter" for a sugar and butter crepe. The girl making it co-miserated with me about the wait for my meal. The crepe was good; I ate it as I walked home. I love the crepe makers of this cartier "neighborhood".
OK so tomorrow I need to run to a shop to buy a sweater and then get a coffee and croissant.
My flight is at 2pm so I need to pack and get to the airport by noon, I will take the RER B which goes right near my house to the airport for 8 euros. I have coins... you need coins....OK a recap later but this is it...OVER and OUT!

If you want more photos ask, I will load them onto a photo share site....
