Had coffee with some of the new parents whose kids are in the Adaptation program - nice to make friends with those who are in the same boat as we are! Going to finalize the paperwork for the apartment - not the fantabulous one but as Paris standards go, it's pretty awesome with an American kitchen! Still waiting for everyone to come back from vacation so I can get started with my lessons, getting a French phone, utilities, etc. - all requires a bank account and a phone number! Oh well - may try out a velib pass today, but don't tell Manu. It's where you can rent a bike in one spot and return it to another - and the first 30 minutes are free. He's convinced I will get killed by those crazy French drivers. It's just too pretty to ride the subway and I have too far to walk on my aching feet. What he doesn't know won't hurt him - will it? : )
