I arrived in Paris around noon and met up with my wife and son at his apartment. He’s studying here for a semester, so it’s the perfect opportunity to visit France! My wife decided to rest today, and my son had class, so I took a walk to Place de la Nation and then to Place de la Bastille. It was a great time, and the weather was lovely!

For dinner, Mariko and I went to Kalank and enjoyed some delicious French cuisine. I am not familiar with French food, so I was excited to try! We ordered the Menu Dégustation (tasting menu), and everything was absolutely incredible.

I got my international driving permit today from my local AAA branch. It was quick and easy, and only cost $28, including photos! Now we’re all set for renting a car when in Europe. Should be fun!
