Thur Jan 19 - 18th District Walking

Today was fun - early class, presenting maps, another fabulous lecture on urban wandering as an art form with Fluxus, land art, and urban interventions. We were then sent out to explore the different neighborhoods in the 18th district.

Paris is divided into districts, and I keep referring to them - they spiral clockwise around from the louvre in number, and are just a handy way to say were something is. sized so they're significant to walk through, if you were driving you might think they were absurdly small. Paris really isn't very big. i'm living in the 9th district, in the southwest corner so i'm very close to bother the 2nd and 1st and 10th, but the 18th and 8th also border it.
