Finally!

Finally met up with the agent guy and picked up the key to the flat.
Dropped off my bags and got money at the Citibank in Oxford Circus. That�s a shopping district with stores typical of the Third Street Prominade. I mean, they have two Starbucks and a Gap and other stalwarts of American capitalism. Good bird watching too.
Wi-fi is a bit hard to find out here so updates will probably be weekly since T-Mobile charges 5 pounds per hour (that�s US$10 folks!).
But after I got settled in, the rain stopped and the skies cleared. Grimley told me that this is a RARE RARE thing.
About that price thing: candy bars are 50 pence and drinks like iced tea are 1 pound. That�s US$2.00 man!
So now I�m going to get a briefing from Grimley about places to check out in Paris. And Meghan, a former SMWMer like moi will be meeting me at Paris Nord tomorrow when my train arrives.
Almost like a bad movie, but it IS Paris…
