Bus 86

Every morning I look forward to my commute to class....

My bus circles around the Bastille [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastille] and passes a park with children playing against the backdrop of the river Seine before going down to St. Germain des Pres [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boulevard_Saint-Germain], one of the most well-known areas in Paris.

Every day while driving over that bridge with the view of the Notre Dame cathedral in the distance, I am in silent awe. I of course show no outwardly reaction to this "commonplace" sight so as to keep up my parisian appearance ;-P but inside, I am bursting with excitement to be living in this city....

I am certain of one thing that will not change during my 6 months: no matter how many times I walk this city, explore its cobblestone treasures, become familiar with its customs, or see the Eiffel Tower lighting up the night sky, it will never lose its novelty.

Paris, toujours Paris....
