I would not say that I am a lover of Hemingway. However, I am reading A Movable Feast right now, in honor of Paris. I think Paris was good for Hemingway, and I think Hemingway is good for me in Paris.
Well in this book, Hemingway sees a pretty girl and says to himself, "You belong to me and all Paris belongs to me and I belong to this notebook and this pencil." I was not inspired by a beautiful girl, but I was rather taken by these beautiful words.
So, today I explored my Paris. I have not yet (for reasons that are too long and boring to recount here) moved into the apartment where I will be living this year. Today I did a casual walk-by of my new home in the 15th arrondissement to introduce myself.
Here are good things I found chez moi:
My apartment is above a wine shop called Les Petits Bouchons.
There is a tiny little park nearby.
I found a pool within one and a half blocks.
During the day, there are people and people bustling and living.
A specialty shop around the corner and down the block sells fancy-lookin' foie gras.
Queen of the 15th,
Maria
