Yo. So I've been here for more than two weeks and you've probably been wondering what I've been up to. I've sent most people emails about my travels across the city, but I'll just name a few things that I have done so far:
-seen the Eiffel Tower
-drank really good wine/and also very cheap wine
-took a boat ride on the Sienne river (spelling?) and saw Notre Dame, the place where Marie Antoinette was guillotined and some awesome architecture
-took a stroll through the Red Light District and saw Moulin Rouge
-Had coffee in a cafe on the sidewalk
-walked an enormous enormous amount around paris in general
-moved in with my really nice (but super rich...I live about a block away from the Eiffel Tower)
-had several awkward moments with my host family because, well, they're french and I'm american.
-started classes
-am hating that the Euro is worth more than the dollar. I'm losing money!! (by the way...any of you can contribute to the Help Michelle Spend Money in Paris fund. See Dora Zanni for more details :) )
-have ridden the Metro a LOT
-have smelled some FUNKY smells on the metro
-have run into (literally collided) a french woman while rushing to the connecting train in the Metro station.
-have gone to an open air market and bought some awesome awesome tomatoes. (questionably better than ours at home in the garden. questionable.)
-have made some friends
That's about all. If I think of anything else I'll let you all know. Again, I'm really sorry I can't post any pictures. That is really the most fun part about reading someone's blog.

Glad to hear all is going well. Perhaps someone there can help you figure out your camera? Is there a different USB port you could try? Did you try turning the camera on? Or off? Am I annoying you with all my questions?
Tons of love from your American Aunt Nancy, who in the world of Google blogging is known as NJN
There probably are places that can help me with my camera, it's just that it's hard to communicate when I don't know the camera lingo in french and when they speak very fast using colloquial terms. But, I could try a camera store. No, you are not asking too many questions and it's not annoying! Anyway, how about some details on the engagement??!! woo!
