well I have arrived safe and sound in Paris. It has been terrific since arriving, although there was a couple of things to bring me down, namely Galway losing in the hurling and Argentina getting knocked out.. Damn Germans!
France are into the semifinals, and going by the celebrations on Saturday night, if they win the world cup the Champs Elysees will be amazing! The crowd really started to build around 12am and moved up and down only pausing for 10-15 minutes to worship the giant zizou on a billboard.
We spent some time wandering around and have visited the Arc de Triomph and watched the crazy drivers for a while and then watched the sun set, it was cool. Walked over to Notre Damn and the Eiffel tour, plenty more to see and do in Paris!
The apartment is very nice, very clean, very new. There is a 32inch flat screen TV and the place has broadband which is handy for blogging and catching up with whats going on.
Work is going good too, but the FT labs are really hot, much hotter than our Lab in the Foundation building, which is hard to believe!
thats very had to believe. Do they even have air conditioning.
No wonder they all take August off!
no a/c either! it is crazy!
most of people in paris take july or august off..
Glad all going well for you in Paris! Enjoy!
Up the deise. hehe he’ll never guess who this anonymous comment is from!
heya ronan, i hope you’re still enjoying gay paris. I must admit I enjoyed seeing Germany equalise with Argentina but the Italians got lucky in the end
