22.09.00: Rue Faidherbe / rue de Montreuil Although my first day in town was spent arriving, and the next day orienting myself at the university, Thursday is spent perambulating Paris from end to end. Although the 7e arrondissement, scene of yesterday's (anti)climactic first café stop, would turn out to be my first permanent home, I am still a guest at Serge's flat in the 11e. And after another sunful day of self-orientation through the streets, this Friday afternoon becomes the first non-pressé café stop, just outside the métro near Serge's place. A northwest corner makes for good bathing in the southwestern sun; if only it had stayed in business long enough for me to remember its name.
