The title is what the tram-lady says every morning that I go anywhere, because the tram to La Defense is the easiest way to get to Paris. However, today I got to walk around a little above ground, and it's actually quite wonderful.
This was a after going to an Au Pair meeting at my agency, which was very helpful in both meeting people and learning a few techniques. I feel quite fortunate that my french is where it is now. Anyway, here are some photographs I took along the way:
 |
| Giant thumb (obliged cheezy tourist photo) |
 |
| La Grande Arche |
 |
| Awesome seemingly-curved building. |
 |
| Giant snowglobe? |
 |
| Art? If you want to call it that. |
 |
| Tree cylinder with rainbow? |
 |
| Creepy child statue named Arthur |
 |
| His equally creepy friend Zoe |

In other news, I finally have my metro pass! No more worrying about tickets or not being able to get on the RER for me. Of course, speaking of the RER, there's a fabulous strike going on right now, meaning there are fewer trains with more people on them. I haven't had much trouble getting to school (I leave 20 minutes earlier now and arrive 15 minutes early) and otherwise no big issues, except for the occasional half an hour wait for the tram.
Not much else to report. I'm checking out an American non-denominational church today. I'll hopefully meet some fun Americans!
