another one of my several pink maps;
this one created by my friend stephane, who i'd
met in paris during the year that i lived there.
i had always been fascinated with the montmartre area of paris
when i was younger (although now there are other areas which
interest me much more) and that happens to be where he grew up,
so he drew me a map of places that were special to him, including
his best friend fred's house and his school. i requested that he point
out the rue lepic (by the cemetary) because it was climbing on that
steep and serpentine little street as an impressionable high-schooler
that i definitively told myself that i WOULD live in paris and learn
how to speak french, for myself and for my ancestors. and now,
anyone who has seen the film "amelie" can say they've seen a small
bit of montmartre as well. i would still recommend a visit.
