Weekend Recap

This is the first weekend that I haven't really planned anything. I guess that means that I'm settled in Paris. I did the usual things this weekend-- grocery shopping, cleaning, and laundry. On Saturday, I walked to the Luxembourg Gardens and read for a few hours. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite places in Paris.

Today I did my market shopping-- apples, zucchini, tomatoes, and grapes. Oh, and a delicious rotisserie chicken that will last me at least four meals. A huge bonus when you only have two hot plates for cooking (and zero counter space). I walked up to Pere Lachaise cemetery and walked around, stopping at Oscar Wilde's grave. Then I headed up to Parc des Buttes Chaumont. Very pretty and very crowded park. I think Luxembourg Gardens are still my favorite, followed by Place de Vosges (which fortunately is only a few blocks from my flat). The park is off my map, which is not good. I got lost coming home. Here are some pictures of today's adventure.
