Perhaps it was the fact that there was a jour férié this week or simply just that the weather is finally beginning to return to a more springlike temperature range, but today the streets of Commerce seemed particularly full as I exited the tram and made my way to the stores I planned to visit and some that were unplanned.
I am at the point where I can walk the streets here without fear of getting lost. I can almost always find a random store or marker that I've seen before and remembered for one reason or another. I don't know the names of most of the streets, but that's not really surprising since French streets have a tendency of having a few name changes within a 50 meter distance. But I count knowing where and how to go to get all the things I need as a sign that I have come to create a life for myself here.
