I'm glad you're enjoying it (except for the headaches). It must be interesting to look at Les Etats Unis from the outside. I think I read somewhere that Paris was founded beside the ruins of an ancient Roman town, and was named after a Celtic tribe living in the area called the Parisinni, or something like that. Maybe you could arrange some kind of a video conference involving the hamster. I've always wanted to go to someplace where they spoke a little French just so I could feel that the three semesters I spent trying to learn it in college weren't entirely wasted. But I think a place like Paris where the language was exclusively French would be a little too much for me. I need to visit one of those places where they just use French for very common, everyday things, and use English for all the more complicated stuff. Your statement about needing ten hours of sleep to feel fully rested makes me wonder how common that is. I usually need a little more sleep than average myself, about nine hours I think, and I wonder if it's common among people who've had ECT to need more sleep than average? Bonjour.

You're right down the street from the Joan of Arc shrine at Notre Dame, one of my favorite places. Then there's Parc Montsouris, small and relaxing, and croque monsuier sandwiches and pommes frites and pastries and the little shops with puppies for sale on the sidewalk (and bunnies and chickens too but try not to think about that. Have a great trip. Paris rocks. Bonjour! You’re right down the street from the Joan of Arc shrine at Notre Dame, one of my favorite places.
