Jour Un

Day one in Paris was full of learning experiences, but overall I declare it a success.

Things I Learned:

NyQuil is a necessity on overseas flights.

The door to our apartment complex is in the middle of the building. In the front. Not around the side. Around the side is some sort of loading dock where, when they aren’t working, groups of French men amuse themselves by watching a dumb American with 3 suitcases and a backpack wander around a loading dock because he failed to locate the door to his apartment building.

The front door is a push door, not a pull door

I still prefer shower heads that are firmly affixed to a wall.

I do not know enough French to purchase produce.

I do know enough French to purchase an alarm clock.

There is a small button on each floor of my apartment complex which turns on the hallway lights.

Using said button is easier than walking up the narrow spiral staircase in pitch black darkness.

Our apartment is awesome.

This is going to be a fun year (once Abbey gets here).
