The Bucket List

I am writing this from my balcony. While I am out here enjoying this wonderful Parisian night, I am out here mostly because there are two girls trying to change and shower in my room right now. My friend Katy and her sister are staying with me tonight and I have been exiled from my own room! While I wasn't sure if it would be possible for three people to fit in a ten square meter room, it seems to be working just fine. Let me say that we have found some very creative uses of space.

Today I showed them around Paris...we went to the Luxembourg gardens, Pere Lachaise Cemetery, and to the Marais for some falafel. Katy's sister leaves tomorrow, but Katy will be here for about a week. It's great to be with an old friend, in fact....it's just what I needed.

With just one month left in Paris, I have created a Bucket List (so to say...) of things that I want to do before I leave. Hopefully, Katy and I will be able to cross a few things off the list. I figure if I make some of these things public via this world-renowned blog, I might be more motivated to do them. There is a much bigger list of restaurants I want to get to, but I will spare you all.

Jardin des Plantes
Gare d'Austerlitz
St. Paul
La Defense
Giverny
explore more around the Arc de Triomphe
Musee Rodin
See the rest of Musee d'Orsay
sunset from Montmartre
Montparnasse tower
Closerie des Lilas
go to the 17th arrondisment (so I can say that I have been to them all)
Musee de Cluny

I think thats a good start, wish me luck
