first day in paris

I have arrived, and I'll never be the same again.  Paris is the most beautiful city I've ever seen.  Everywhere you look, there is amazing architecture.  I just want to take a picture of every building.  Every street corner has an adorable little restaurant with water served in class bottles, lots of wine, and delicious-looking food.  I have yet to experience the corner café  I'm currently staying at Hotel de Citadines in a cute little studio (emphasis on "little," my bags look even larger in France).  I'm not moving in with my host family for a week, but I have all their information.  It's a mother, father, and two daughters, and I spoke to one of the daughters this evening, and she seemed lovely.  I can't wait to meet them!  What amazes me about Paris, too, is how even cheap food is delicious (my lunch=crepes avec fromage at a greasy spoon=excellent).  I went on a bus tour of the monuments this afternoon and took the first of many pictures of the Eiffel Tower. Paris, je t'aime!
