Today, I moved to my new host's place. He's definitely much more absent than my first one, which is good in that I get a room to myself after such a long day, but bad because there's not much conversation (more like a hotel, here).
After I moved in, I walked across Le Place de Clichy to go to the Montmartre Cemetery, see a lot of the new art in the center, tour the Salvador Dali museum, eat dinner in the central bar/restaurant area, and spend the evening at Sacre-Coeur Basilica. The museum was incredibly interesting and informative; the dinner (three courses for 13.50) was excellent--house salad, boeuf bourguignon with penne, and gelato; and there was a lot of music near Sacre-Coeur, so it made the evening really nice. Even better, the man and woman with whom I was sitting got engaged right there! He also bought me my first legal beer (a Heineken--not very good), and we spent the evening talking throughout the impromptu concert.
Now, I'm back in the apartment (I'm not really sure if Inti, my host, is coming back tonight... He seemed very excited about his date this evening.), uploading some of the photos, relaxing, taking a small dose of ibuprofen (It's SOOOOO hilly here!), and possibly going to sleep (fairly) early.
