Paris, I Guess
New country, unfamiliar keyboard, jet lag... so short entry.

The plane out of DC got all the way down the taxiway when there was some sort of mechanical issue. As the jet was made by Boeing, they weren't taking any chances. So it went back to the terminal and then left late. Consequently, it arrived late, which I suppose is somewhat better than not arriving at all.

First impression: if you ignore all the famous landmarks (like the ones NaNoNette Author Icon has been taunting us with lately), Paris looks a lot like any other big city. I'll give it this, though: the graffiti is way better, in keeping with the city's reputation as an artist paradise. The lines are sharp and, unlike the graffiti in, say, northern New Jersey, you can actually sometimes make out what some of the letters are. Not that the words make sense. I mean, they might, if I knew more French, but I doubt it.

Now, let's see if I can find my way around. Maybe tomorrow, I'll have pics, too.
