This, really is, an amazing city.
First of, it has changed so much since I left, that from place to place I actually don't recognize the city, and, it is the first time I don't feel I am back in my home town, I am a foreigner in this city, a visitor, which I am comfortable with, but beside all of that, the city is gorgeous.
The light here is magical, so white, I had forgotten.
There is literally thousands of old buildings, with tricky and beautiful architecture, which absolutely fascinates me, the way people live and move, the presence of the ocean, or the sea how they say here, the chaos of the thousands of vehicles, it is such a chock after Brazil and Canada.
I spend my time looking everywhere.
On another side of things, there is my family here and I am obligated, in a certain way, to go do all those family stuff, which is exhausting, and not really my cup of tea, with exceptions of course.
But hey, there is a price to pay...
There is always a price to pay...
And, french people eat awesome food, and drink a lots of alcohol.
My liver does not always agree with the last statement.
And this said, let me show you some pics from yesterday, at la plage, and some other places and things, and people in no particular order:
Voila, that's all for now folks.
Sincerely,
Serge
