Here is a recent photo of the view from my balcony. A block away lies the Church of Saint-Sulpice (it's partially in construction, but captivating nevertheless). I just began the book The Da Vinci Code. My jaw dropped when within 5 minutes I was reading about the all-powerful "secret keystone" hidden at the Church of Saint-Sulpice, apparently unlocking the greatest secret of human history! Although fact and fiction, here I am, in love with the book already--it perfectly compliments the adventure of my life in Paris, and I've been learning such interesting information on Paris' history. The story revolves around my neighborhood, which makes it all the more chilling. Living five minutes from the Louvre, I'll make sure to take my first visit the day I finish this book.
