Paris: Have Artist, Will Travel

Ahhh… they say travel is good for the soul and I would tend to agree. On the other hand, I know from personal experience that travel is good for the creative part of one’s self, and that is the reason I find myself sitting in a miniscule 6th floor apartment looking out over the Paris rooftops.
After a daunting 3 plus hour delay and a grueling overnight flight we touched down at Charles De Gaul Airport in the suburb of Paris known as Roissy. From there we made our way into the city proper with only a few minor hiccups.
As we emerged from the metro at the St Paul stop, the marvel of Google Map’s new street view option exploded in my head: I had been staring at a 360 degree panorama of this street corner for months. Needless to say, I felt confident as to where I was going.
Upon entering the appropriate building we encountered Maria, a small and seemingly frail elderly woman who showed us through an inner garden to our apartment, escorting us into the tiniest elevator I had ever experienced (two would need to ride face to face as there was really no room for turning around). It was with great joy that we inspected the apartment, and even greater satisfaction when we threw the windows wide: pure Paris!
I can feel the creative juices percolating within.

Oh MY God….that picture looking out the apartment window IS pure Paris (from pictures I’ve seen )I’ve also heard of how things are just SO much smaller in Europe. Egila never failed to mention the large size of all things American
