New Apartment

Well, July 1st was more than just Canada Day for Kim and I in Paris. July 1st we received the keys to our new apartment in the Latin Quarter. Kim is only a 9 minute walk to work (vs 50 minutes transit before). We had a great time the past 4 months living in the suburbs and were fortunate to rent the place we did. But, the whole point of moving to Paris is to be in Paris and experience Parisian life, with all it's plusses and minuses. We are on a main street so it is a bit noisy with the windows open, even at 11pm at night like right now, but we have so many awesome amenities around, like shops, bakeries, 2 pools, squash club, parks and 3 markets. It's been really hot the last few days including 34 degrees today, so the fact that our hot water isn't working isn't a big deal! It should be fixed by tomorrow. Mack and Petra are also staying a few days with us in between their temporary apartment and their 1 month trip to Africa starting tomorrow.
