Initial impressions, photographed

I had forgotten how beautiful Paris is. Look at the way the apartment buildings look!


And then there's the neighborhood cathedral about 5 blocks from the building I'm staying in. It only dates back to the 1330s though, so no one's ever heard of it...


This is the view from the balcony outside by bedroom. It's really hard to see in this picture, but on the horizon about a fourth of the way in from the left is Sacre Coeur.


And this is Wenqi, the girl who's staying in the room next door to mine.
