Our Apartment

When we imagined our life in Paris, we pictured ourselves sitting in a cafe sipping a cappuccino and people watching or strolling through the Louvre looking at priceless works of art. We did not imagine trudging through a mall in the suburbs looking for coffee mugs and an ironing board. Of course we live here and this isn't a vacation so we have to adopt a daily routine of grocery shopping, dropping off dry-cleaning and running errands.

I think we finally have everything we need and the apartment is set up the way we like. Luckily it's very small so it didn't take much. Here is our living room.

Here is our bedroom upstairs. The entire place is 500 sq/ft.

Today is Lori's first day of work. We took a dry run on the subway yesterday. It's very easy for her to get to work but I'm sure the subway will be packed this morning. Next weekend we will get out and enjoy our life in Paris.
