France 2022: Paris, Day 2

Walk: from apartment to bike shop and back, from apartment to indoor market hall and back, to Office Depot and back, about 6 miles

Accommodation: Cozy 27m2 studio in the Marais (Airbnb)

First order of business: Get the bikes packed up.

About 10 days ago, Ken called the Giant bike store a mile and a half from our Paris apartment and arranged for them to save two shipping boxes for us. We hiked over there, picked up the boxes, trekked back, took apart our bikes, and packed them in the boxes.

Then we walked to the indoor market hall for a Morrocan lunch at one of the food stalls, bought fresh veggies and chocolate mousse for dinner, and hiked back.

We still had one more errand: we needed packing tape and a black magic marker to finish prepping our bikes for shipping. I found an Office Depot about half mile away, and we headed out again.

Chores done! Tomorrow we will play a little.
