What do you know - it worked. We live in Paris.
We landed in Paris at about 6AM. We got our luggage by 7AM. Our landlord is away for a vacation, but he gave his friend the keys and emailed us his phone number. We called the friend from the airport with Skype. Unfortunately, the guy doesn’t speak English very well, but I managed to communicate to him that we’re on the way to the apartment. He, on the other hand, said he’ll be there at 10, which meant we’d be stuck outside the apartment for a while, and all my attempts to convince him to come earlier were blocked - I’m not sure whether by the language barrier or his laziness.
We got to the apartment at about 8, and even though we were exhausted we had to wait for him for two hours, with our luggage, in the middle of the street. Eventually, he arrived, and little earlier than expected.
So here we are. We don’t have air conditioning, we don’t have an oven, but if you stick your head out the window, you can see the Eiffel tower. I really can’t believe we made it. Julia starts working on Monday, and I’m supposed to start in the beginning of the month. No more “Person on the Road” for a while. I might post updated in the future, maybe on a different blog. I really don’t know - so thanks for following so far, and stay tuned.
