Hugo and Mizayuki lived in the Old Quarter, which was dark and medieval and totally cool, despite needing to beware of, as Mizayuiki warned, the shit, “fresh, slippery” that was indeed to be found all over the streets.
Their flat was in a building that was literally 400 years-old, older than THE UNITED STATES. It had a crazy, uneven, worn out and frankly kind of creepy spiral stone staircase with damp walls. Trying to schlep all their modern camping gear up this tiny, narrow, vertical hallway was a lesson in buffoonery!
