It's the calm before the storm as we have 3 sets of visitors back to back to back coming up over the next month. The first set is a friend I met way back in 2005 while interning at Intel, and she's coming along with her twin sister who I hung out with while she did an internship in Austin back in 2007. I'm really excited about them coming to visit since it'll be the first really good chance I have to be a "tourist" in Paris and actually get to know the city more. I'm taking the first few days of work off next week to go sightseeing, and already have a tentative schedule to hit the highlights.
In the meantime, I had to head to the BHV to try and find an ice scrapper for my car. It's been so chilly in the morning that a thick layer of frost forms on the windshield which I have to scrap off with a credit card currently. Unsurprisingly auto part stores are pretty non-existant in central Paris, so the BHV seems the best place to find something like an ice scrapper. That place really does have everything, even it if is ridiculously expensive and crowded.
On the way home I pass by Hotel de Ville (City Hall) which was lit
up for Christmas and had a pretty Christmas tree lit up in front.
There's a skating rink too that we'll have to check out.
