So, I've talked about my apartment already. But I haven't really mentioned where it is. Basically, I live just a few blocks away from Trocadero. For those who don't know, Trocadero is the most popular viewing area of the Eiffel Tower. It also has amazing gardens on either side of a giant fountain area.
Most mornings before class, I try to go jogging around said gardens, early enough to beat the tourists. This is what I see during my run:

| Eiffel Tower approaching |
 |
| fountains! |
 |
| every hour, they shoot off the big cannons - it's a pretty awesome sight |
 |
| last glance back as I head back home |
I love living so close to Trocadero. It's such a nice place to hang out, as long as you know where to avoid all the tourists and people trying to sell you cheap souvenirs. But it's such a large area that it's not too hard to do so. Like I said, you just gotta know when and where is best.
A bientot!
