Snapshots

We’ve settled into our new little apartment and neighbourhood. It’s been great! We’ve gotten to know the area, have found the best boulangerie to buy baguettes and enjoy the biweekly market. Everything we could possibly need (and more) is within about 5 min walking distance. (We’ve sold our car). We go running along the Seine, which is really pretty, but you miss a lot of the scenery when you are looking down so you don't run in dog poo. After a bit of a cold snap (and it was cold!) it’s been really pleasant and I’ve loved walking around and discovering all the neat places hidden in the streets around us.



I downloaded a new app on my phone that lets me take photos with different filters and decided to test it out while grocery shopping. And you all get to indulge me. Grocery shopping in France means going to at least 3 or 4 places, one for bread, another for cheese (and we eat beaucoup of both), one for fruits and veggies... I wanted to play with my new toy so I took a bunch of photos along the way. The photo at the top is the Bastille monument. Above are photos of our bakery and the busy café on our street (one of the busy cafés) and below are a few other snaps from a block or two away.
