I'm in Paris - arrived this week and staying until mid November. I have a great apartment in the 12th - really enjoying exploring a new area.
My mom has been with me this week and she's been thrilled to experience apartment life in Paris.
We've visited Opera Garnier, Nissim de Camondo, Cognacq-Jay, Carnavalet, and the Fan Museum. Breakfast in the apartment, dinner at mostly local places.
Today there's a brocante in "our" neighborhood so we'll go there this morning and see what the rest of the day brings.
I'll post pictures once I sort through them.

Yippee! Glad you made it OK.
I mistakenly thought you were not leaving home until next week. Apologies for not wishing you a bon voyage.
I hope you plan on giving us a running commentary. I already feel deprived of all things French.
Mez.
PS. Your NYC magnets have pride of place on my fridge. :-)

Wow, Janet! That's a long trip! Wondering how many macarons one can devour in that amount of time. ;D

Jody - that would be great. I love going to brocantes.
Mom left yesterday and everything went smoothly with her journey.
Now it's just me. Today I'm off to get a haircut and then to see Cyrano de Bergerac.
